Advent of the RedCold®

This is a RedCold®. Some vendors sell RedHotsâ„¢. Victor and I bought two alleged “RedHotsâ„¢” outside the Wiltern LG prior to the Wolf Parade concert, 25 August 2006. $7 total. The man was ‘all out of baconwrapped™’ so we opted for the RedHotsâ„¢ (second vendor hadn’t set up shop yet). After purchase we noticed the warmer burners were not lit. Said alleged RedHotâ„¢ was easily one of the worst, coldest food items I’ve ever charged. I still ate the thing, don’t get me wrong…but it was bad news. Red…Cold.
Fortunately the taco truck outside the Ktown market at 5th had our backs and we were properly sated.
Following the concert I watched a man purchase a RedCold®, eat two bites, turn his nose up, look at me and proceed to balance it delicately atop the shorty outside the Wiltern LG, where it was then captured via RAZR™. Introducing: The RedCold® by Stefane Monzon.

Did anyone else see a Kurt Cobain look-a-like in a mini-jean-skirt writhing during an incomprehensible Frog Eyes?
Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeuuuuw. Glad I missed that.
a word of caution:
Those vendors on the sidewalks selling cocnout milk, pineapple slices, “redhots/colds,” corn, mangos, sopas, tacos, or any other non-sealed consumable are there without permits (for the most part). If you see a guys selling something on the sidewalk in LA, you best bet is to keep walking. Often, they are selling/using below grade products. The corn that is often sold is usually marked as “feed” for livestock and not up to standards for human consumption. Sure, lather on that butter, and it tastes great; but I would never buy anything from a street vendor in Los Angeles – seriously, there are too many risks in doing that.
We may agree to disagree on this one, LACN. I strive to purchase at least twenty products curbside, daily.
The guy who sells hot dogs outside the Red Line stop during the day at Wilshire/Western has good stuff (and at a good temperature).
ive never gotten sick eating street vendor cuisine. i think its all delicious.
Scott, I didn’t see your jean-skirted freak, as I could not tear my gaze away from Frog Eyes’ singer in awed disbelief. We all made fun of that husky weird guy in 4th period geometry and now he is a goddamned rock star. My hero.
“but I would never buy anything from a street vendor in Los Angeles – seriously, there are too many risks in doing that.”
asking me about eating stuffed mussels from a street vendor in turkey.
my good god! that is a story i would like to hear, hex. Find me a curbside stuffed mussel vendor in LA and I’ll give it a try. The system currently in place limits me to baconwrapped, socks, frutas, ID cards, newspapers and oranges, primarily. good to know you sought out the Turkish equivalent of a baconwrapped.
YES I SAW THE JEAN SKIRTED FREAK! HE STOOD NEXT TO ME AND WALKED BY REPEATEDLY. HE HAD NOT SHOWERED IN DAYS! AND HE WORE A PAIR OF FLIP FLOPS THAT HE TOOK OFF AND PUT DOWN HIS SKIRT WHEN HE DECIDED TO STAND.
caps-lock-off
The new Wolf Parade songs rocked really good.
dammit victor i told you not to wear those flip-flops
And yet I wore the same outfit to the Emmys to high praise from the fashion police. Go figure.
i came across your place at work feeling lonely and thinkn about soup. my doctor told me to cut down on the salt and drinks; i was sad. she also told me to loose the weight and exercise. after i saw the matsoball soup i was happy. i need to stuff my hawl with that matsoball soup. ny deli in BORRANCE, CA is worth snakin around to for matso. besides anyone know about big bands? i hate rock ‘n roll now and scrawny rock stars.
i take that last comment back. i ate one at sunset junction. i got sick.
Corey,
I don’t mean to laugh at your illness – but that is funny. How sick are we talking?
