Downtown Pomona (part two)

A few days ago we drove out to Pomona for another amazing concert at The Glass House.

On this particular trip, every storefront window seemed to be a scene right out of a funhouse.

The bakery was dead, but the bread was oddly fresh. There's a 1970's horror movie/Night of the Comet feel that I love about downtown Pomona. The quiet streets. The empty restaurants. We felt like the last two human beings on the planet. We were strangely alright with that thought.

We could hear the opening band warm up down the street before stumbling upon a band's impromptu jam session in the storefront window of some abandoned dress shop.

Royal/Tea Cafe' (8910 Washington Blvd.)

Harajuku Girls brought us platters of high heel pop art to snack on as graffiti artist, Shepard Fairey, DJed. This was Royal/Tea Cafe's opening of their latest exhibit, The Warholian, in honor of Mr. Warhol himself and fittingly sponsored by Ms. Plastic herself, Barbie. A big thank you to Simon for the invite.
