Where's your #myLAcommute?

SARAH THOMPSON:

I’m taking the Metro back to Universal City where my friend lives. We just saw Death Cab for Cutie at the Hollywood Bowl. We had a picnic of sausage, cheese, and California pinot noir. My favorite song that they performed was “Transatlanticism,” obviously.

I was born and raised in Florida, I’ve lived in L.A. for five years now. I love L.A.—to be able to see a live concert at a beautiful venue is pretty amazing.
