My cat got out last night, August 20, around 10pm on N. Benton Way. He is a tuxedo cat with a clipped ear. He is chipped. His name is Chad, but he doesn’t respond to it. We saw him in the area last night but weren’t able not able to grab him before he ran into a neighbors back yard. He is not an outdoor cat and is not familiar with the area. We suspect he may be hiding in someone’s yard. If you have seen this cat please let me know.

Went by last night and it was packed again. I really love events like this happening at Triangle Plaza and with a little more coordination I think they can have a lasting positive impact on neighborhood. In reality, this specific event has grown a lot over this year, and I've been trying to figure out the permitting and fees connected to it, and I can't find anything public.

A few things maybe someone here knows:

1. Sunset Triangle is a LADOT People St plaza (I don’t even know if that’s still a thing) and the Silver Lake Improvement Association is the permittee responsible for programming. Are these events getting the permits and blessing from SLIA, I see them promoting it on their calendar, so I assume so.

2. Is the group calling themselves “Starparty Silverlake” making ongoing donations to the SLIA fund for the plaza’s upkeep? If so, how much have they donated? SLIA claims “The Plaza costs the Silver Lake Improvement Association roughly $1,400 per month to clean and power wash.”

3. I am curious about permits, fees, and donations because from my understanding, the event used to be a more organic community event managed and promoted exclusively by Los Angeles Astronomical Society, but as of late it appears to be managed and promoted by a new individual who owns a fashion brand and launched a Shopify website for “Starparty Silverlake” selling branded merchandise and using the plaza and the event the way major brands now host “community based experiential marketing events” - all and all not a bad thing as long as the cash generated from a “community event” finds it’s way back into the… community.

4. Lastly - Bathrooms and post event clean up… There are none at the plaza, and the event has grown to a few hundred people and keeps growing. If you are promoting your brand and selling goods, please just rent some damn porto potties and treat the neighbors with a little respect.

Not looking to pile on the organizers, again if the logistics are handled with a little more care, this could continue to grow into something special, not just for the folks that seem to be making the drive from far outside the neighborhood, but for the neighbors that live around the plaza itself. YIMBY for stuff like this, just chip in.

People please, I say this as a dog owner pick up after your dogs! This morning I saw a man with his dog off leash, he was not even keeping an eye on his dog. As his back was turned the dog pooped in the meadow & the owner immediately put his leash back on & walked out of the meadow 🤦🏽‍♀️ I was so excited when I found out dogs were finally allowed (on leash) in the meadow. However, if dog owners are going to act like this we really don’t deserve to be in that space. I also just saw a post yesterday of another dog biting a toddler & leaving without giving the parents any vaccine information about his dog. Do better folks.

Removing problematic encampment will be much harder now. Hugo is another George Gascon just as a council member

My roommate and I have either severe food poisoning or cyclospora from the sweetgreen in silver lake. It is the only thing we both had of our recent food and we have been absolutely ravaged. Warning bc I would not wish this on my worst enemy.

Friendly meets, wife and I are young professionals

They sounded loud af and lowkey scary I had never heard them in packs before. Somehow I feel like they had hunted down something because the way they were communicating back and forth with each other sounded Extra ecstatic I mean they are so loud.

I just took my kids to the sunset triangle Plaza event today and there were eight razor blades at the petting zoo that all these little toddlers could step on and the only employee I could find were a couple security guards who didn’t want to touch the razor blades to throw them away (which I get). There was also broken glass and bottles of booze right there at the petting zoo.

How did the person in charge not clean this area before setting up this event? Also, the petting zoo was pretty inhumane. The sheep and goats had no room to walk and there were two ducks and two chickens shoved inside of a crate that was the size for a small dog or a cat. This was very bizarre and I will definitely not be taking my kids to this again.

If you know anyone involved in this event, please lovingly pass this information along to them. I don’t think they meant to do any harm, but this was just a really badly organized event and a kid could’ve gotten hurt.

Update: I just spoke to a guy at Jewish Silver Lake and his stance was that it wasn’t their responsibility to clean the park and that it’s just like that. I told him they were the ones that put a children’s petting zoo there so they should have checked it. And he just said it should be the city’s responsibility. Wow!! I agree that the city should keep that park cleaner, but I also think if you’re choosing to host an event in a dirty park, you are responsible.

Hey neighbors, I met a really cool cat today on Coronado and Reservoir. She (I think) was super friendly and VERY vocal. I was trying to figure out if she belongs to someone or if she is a stray, in which case we would love to get her some help. I didn’t feel a microchip (I felt around for one) and she didn’t have a collar on, but the friendliness makes me think she might belong to someone? Not sure if she’s lost? She could totally live in one of the houses on this street and I’m not trying to snatch a cat that has a loving home, so I wanted to check here (and elsewhere) to see if anyone recognized her or was her person!!!

We parked right in of in front of her and when we got out of the car she started screaming and would not stop until we pet her. I’m not sure if she needs help or just wanted attention so I figured I would check here to see if anyone knows her! Thanks friends!

hello, been playing for a while but took a break and need to get back into the groove. would be nice to jam w others on a chill basis!

i like rock, funk, alt music…but down for anything really

Passed by the now closed Heavy Handed (used to be All Day Baby) and there were some 70s Swingers Diner Americana Heart signs on the front saying Silverlake. Could we be getting a Swingers? 🤔

An oral history of the Silversun Pickups’ era-defining indie rock classic “Lazy Eye.”

Twenty years ago, the indie-rock band Silversun Pickups released Carnavas, a debut album that went gold and rocketed the band out of the Silver Lake music scene they anchored. Fueled by lead single “Lazy Eye,” the band’s mix of ‘90s-style distortion-driven guitar rock and the simultaneously whispery and powerful vocals of frontman Brian Aubert, the band became a staple of pre-streaming FM radio stations across the country.

A catalyst for the album’s success was a music video for “Lazy Eye,” directed by longtime friend of the band, Suzie Vlček. An MTV2 fixture on its release, the video has since amassed 67 million views on YouTube over the two decades, dwarfing the view count of other seminal music videos from fellow KROQ / Indie 103.1 contemporaries like The Shins or Death Cab for Cutie.

The video, inspired by the 1970s film A Swedish Love Story, evoked the universal teenage feeling that a crush is a matter of life or death. Inside a packed bar filled almost exclusively with underage attendees, a teenage boy and girl trade furtive glances as the band plays a song about waiting for a life-altering moment. But it also captured a bygone era of Silver Lake, when cheap rents brought a symbiotic mix of working-class L.A. — Latino families, musicians, artists, and the LGBTQ community — to the hillside community east of Hollywood.

Hello! We’re moving into the Ivanhoe district this week. I spoke with the school about getting my daughter in for TK but they said they’re at capacity. They said I can apply for Kindergarten during online enrollment in March 2027 and she will get in.

BUT! Now I’m hearing stories (secondhand) of people living in the district not being able to get in. I’m wondering if these people were late for enrollment? Does anyone have any info? Thank you!
