Get Your Local History On! Los Angeles Heritage Day At Heritage Square!

An unspecified nerd with civic inclinations recently notified the Militant of this event happening on Sunday at Heritage Square Museum in Highland Park. It's the 2nd Annual Los Angeles Heritage Day (Ummm...and why didn't the Militant hear about the 1st annual one?) event going on from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The event is $5, or free if you print this out. It will be a day of panel discussions, kids' events and free tours of the museum, which is comprised of several houses of architectural significange, relocated from all over the City. Who knows, perhaps the Militant will finally get to meet the Nerd there (Now won't that be a FTW photo-op if there ever was one?), if he might or might not have already done that already.

O Blogger, Where Art Thou?

Though the Militant hasn't posted since Saturday, he is alive and well and blogging again, albeit with an uncharacteristically succinct post. However, many (the Militant assumes many) are wondering what happened to the other great anonymous Los Angeles blogger, Los Angeles City Nerd (pictured left -- Disclaimer: Portrait is only a dramatization and not intended to depict the actual City Nerd).

The Nerd's whereabouts were in question after an absence of nearly two weeks in late July-early August. Many loyal readers noticed the Nerd isn't as prolific nowadays. Now the Nerd's page reads, "This blog is open to invited readers only."

Has the Nerd gone all Hollywood club VIP on us? Has the Nerd been beaten up and delivered a wedgie by Los Angeles City Jock (lol, there's no such blog, it just looks kinda cool to have a hyperlink there)? Site redesign? Alien abduction? Subpoena?

Or worse: Was the Nerd's identity revealed?

Lest you think there's some blue state-red state/Dodgers-Giants/ Great Taste-Less Filling/ Tupac-Biggie Smalls/ Paul Dateh-Miri Ben-Ari rivalry between us, the Militant will assure you that is simply not true. Though the Militant and the Nerd don't exactly hang out at Lakers games, Downtown bars or even The Huntington Library together (though it's possible the Militant and the Nerd might have crossed paths earlier this month, hmmm), without the Nerd, there would be no Militant.

Though "Los Angeles City Jock" would be an AWESOME name for a sports blog...

Militant Angeleno Gets Props from LA City Nerd

Revenge of The Nerd

Fellow Los Angeles blogger LA City Nerd gave this Militant Angeleno some props in his blog entry today.

The Nerd commented that he took offense about my assessment of other LA blogs, which isn't necessarily directed at his own, but hey, I'm just your everyday Militant Angeleno, trying to make it in this world (and educating the masses while freeing them from the oppression of East Coast Colonialism).

Promotion is a big part of getting The Militant's message out to the masses...hey, it's not what you know, and it's not even who you know...it's really who knows what you know. So spread the word!

But overall I was flattered that The Nerd thought that I offered a fresh perspective that "covers a few LA stories not yet found in the blog mix of LA."

Most of all I get a link on his site as "LA Militant Nerd."

To that, The Nerd gets an honorary link in the "Rival Guerilla Factions" section (lower right) of this blog. Gracias, Salamat, Xie xie, Khawp khun, Shenorhagal em, Kamsahamnida, Thanks, LA City Nerd!

I'm also off to see The Police at The Stadium tonight! Can't wait to see that Sting hit a grand slam!
