sleepless in LA

Four years ago today, Vic and I went on our very first date. And what an eventful date it was! First I got lost trying to find his apartment, since it was in a part of town I had never been to before. And he might have left out a freeway in the directions he gave me. But finally, after I almost ended up at Magic Mountain, after a phone call to a friend for help, he got me on my way to his street in Silverlake.
