    No one commented because Silverlake is played out.

    All that conservancy does is offer lessons to pochos anchor babies who can’t come up with music or really learn music.

    Nothing, nothing has come out of that concservancy most likely it looks to me like a Chili Pepper tax write off for donations or that whole tax shelter thing with organizations like this that pass off as helping the community.

    And really, hipsters are a beacon of artistic music expression and musical movements? Cmon gentrifier hipsters now residing in and around Silverlake are the suckiest of the suck suck.

    I lived a couple of blocks frm there in the 80’s, the area was truly a cool place then, now its a hipster infested caca bowl.
