Spinning Class Is Just Like Hollywood

Spinning class is just like Hollywood.

We are surrounded by beautiful people.
Some are new and don’t have the right shoes.
Some have been here for years and we’ll never keep up.

We open our eyes and realize we are the only ones standing while everyone else is sitting.
We don’t think we can make it, so we slow down, sit down, put our heads down, and tell ourselves, “all that matters is to keep pedaling.”
We’re sure everyone sees we’re off rhythm, overweight and out of practice.

But look around.
Everyone is concentrated only on themselves.
Making it through their own workout.

There are moments when everything clicks, we’re on pace, sweating and smiling.
There are moments when we hear a lyric from a familiar song as if for the first time.
There are moments where it suddenly feels effortless.

From the outside we look like people on stationary bikes,
Spinning our wheels.

Taking Back the White House

Look. . . I’m Trophy Wife’s only Clinton supporter. So maybe I feel like I have to go that extra mile. Are any of you bubble-bathing for Obama?

Hang on, I’m just checking to see if I’ve ever been so excited to see a movie… ah… no. No, I haven’t.

Accompanied by Andrew: Langer's

Filed under: ,

Since 2004, Harold Nights at the IO West have been made better by the keyboard accompaniment of Andrew Melton. And the same goes for a good lunch—it gets even better when you’re accompanied by Andrew Melton.

Andrew and I have gone on a few field trips over the years to some of LA’s most beloved restaurants and bars. To kick off this column, Andrew joined me, Natasha, and Michael for another lunch at Langer’s.

Langer’s just celebrated 60 years in business in the Westlake/McArthur Park district. They’re a classic deli and some say they make the best pastrami… in the country.

Andrew and I both had the pastrami on rye with a side of potato salad. Natasha had the blintzes. The food was, indeed, excellent. I would particularly point out the bread. So well done—heated and crisped just right. And the service is great—that almost motherly service you often find in a good deli or diner.

Langer’s is at the corner of Alvarado Street and 7th (a piece of geography recently named Langer’s Square)—a short walk from the MacArthur Park Metro stop. If you’re driving, there’s a convenient parking lot just east of the restaurant at the northeast corner of 7th and Westlake Ave.

So please go to Langer’s (they’re open Monday through Saturday, 8 am to 4 pm) and eat of their goodness. And if you have the appetite for the Fresser’s Special Sandwich, please let me know how awesome it was.
