Goh Nakamura and the Invisible Cities bought the JetBlue $599 all-you-can-fly pass special. They started booking show and conceived on a whim, the Follow You Whim Tour. The tour will take two San Francisco-based acts (and their roadies) through Los Angeles, Houston, Austin, Seattle, Chicago, and New York city, playing venues, living rooms, and public spaces. The tour runs from September 11 – October 2, 2009. See if they’re playing in your area on the Follow Your Whim Tour site here.

We’re impressed that they put the whole tour and website together within weeks. Very impressive. We wonder if JetBlue is gonna make it their official tour.

There’s a drought in California right now. Water cops are cracking down if you water your lawn at the wrong time of the day or hose down your sidewalk. (See all the rules here.) No one is off limits from neighbors to the mayor of LA. The new trend is fake grass.

Lisa Ling’s been cranking out pieces for Nightline. Here’s some recent reports: marijuana in California and Locke High School.
