We Are Four! Happy 4th Birthday Losanjealous!
The Big 4.0! Which in Internet Years is, like, a lot more years. For some perspective, this is our 2,673 post. (Admittedly, some duds in there–most of them mine.) Or, think of it this way–Losanjealous’s lifespan roughly coincides with Antonio Villaraigosa’s tenure as our fine city’s mayor. And of course, we are also forever linked to him by the little matter of our own torrid affair with a Telemundo journalista.
Looking back on the baby steps of that first month of May ‘05, I’m not sure what really can be gleaned about beyond maybe a fairly consistent affinity for Michael Jackson news (then / now), The Flaming Lips (then / now), Bloc Party (then / now) and Trader Joe’s (then / now).
But rather than stroll down Memory Lane and pat ourselves on the back, rehash our tireless service, recall the innumerable laughs, insights and rock show tips shared here, or even mention the over 1,200 pairs of tickets given away, or, for that matter, gloat on how we’ve outlasted both the American Girl store or, sadly, the print edition of The Onion, we’d rather just say thanks. Thanks. Thanks for continuing to check out the site and contributing your own opinions, complaints and tips. Like, J.C. just now, right here. Thanks, J.C.
Feel free to share your memories of how Losanjealous has impacted your lives for the better or worse below.
Congratulations! Gracias! Gracias! and even more Gracias for all of the concert updates.
yay!
I worked for the Onion LA. I should have applied for a position at Losangealous instead. Congrats to you my favorite LA blog!
Anyone got a job for me?

Happy Birthday fellas! I’m always in safe hands when I come looking for (non-kogi)food advice, you’ve aided me in gaining entrance to many a show. And looking back through time with the help of the search bar in my gmail yields the very first communique between us:
(10/12/07)
Hello there!
I am happy to let you know you have won a pair of tickets to see MICHAEL IAN BLACK with special guest Michael Showalter, tomorrow, Saturday, October 13 at the IVAR THEATER in Hollywood. NOTE: This is the 10:00 pm performance.
You will be listed on the guest list at the will call window, so show your ID to get in.
Have fun at the show and let us know how the night goes for you if you like.
Thanks for being a regular reader of Losanjealous.
Stay Cool,
Losanjealous
I think I have been a reader since the beginning, the name of the blog alone keeps me coming back for more. From a Pasadena native, now living in the wilds of Portland Oregon, CONGRATULATIONS!
congrats and keep up the great work!
Congrats! I love this site. I don’t live in LA, but after visiting there last year, I want to! This blog does its job: makes those of us who don’t live in in Los Angeles jealous of those who do and hopefully makes those who do live there appreciate how damn lucky they are!
