Comin' Straight Outta Bumsville

"So where do you stay when you go/come down to San Diego?": the most frequently asked question I get. I've been fortunate enough to find a group of people that has been very hospitable for each trip I make down there. This time it was the Bumsville Bitches. Why "Bumsville"? Because it's near one of the homeless districts in San Diego. Apparently the weirdest thing that's happened is that 2 homeless people were sleeping in the backyard... Just another day.

Here's their green and yellow house which is on 16th and Commercial. Ain't it dandy?

The exterior is deceiving. Inside the little house is a 3-bedroom, 2-bath palace. Reminds me of my old apartment at Costa Verde.

The view from the window. Ok it's not as nice as the view from Julz's place, but it's charming nonetheless.

"What do you do when you go/come down to San Diego?": the second most frequently asked question I get. I chill with the homies from 5&A dime and I "work". But since most of the workers had other plans that Saturday, it was all work throughout the day.

Here's Gian's boy, RJ. Shy kid. But the early makings of a mini-Gian.

So since I was working, you won't see any pictures of the shop busy. These are just some pictures taken during the random down time.

Once again, I fail to take a decent finale picture.

Many thanks to my hosts this weekend: the Bumsville Bitches. I love you guys!


UPDATE:
Stole this picture from Julz (who probably stole it from someone else). A decent finale picture. BUMSVILLE WHAT BITCH!
