A small town about 25 minutes from Santa Monica and Los Angeles. When asked where they are from, residents often quickly respond, "LA" though traveling to Los Angeles for any event is unheard of. Westlake lies on the edges of Oak Park and Agoura Hills, (home to the beginnings of HOOBASTANK and HELLOGOODBYE) yet considered a part of Thousand Oaks and sometimes referred to as "The Village" to those with ghetto tendencies. Yet this town is anything but ghetto, in fact it is known to be home to rich "upper class" soccer moms with boobs harder than the men they turn on. However, the good news is; at least Westlake mothers tend to actually HAVE money.. you can tell by their teenage gym bodies and facelifts that they paid thousands of dollars for to look like crap. However, as boring as "The Village" may be, it is indeed a serene, happy location. Once home to Will Smith, Jessica Simpson, and Daryl Hannah. Currently home to Tom Selleck, Heather Locklear, Denise Richards, and a homeless woman with a blonde wig.

Justin: "Oh really? Well my cousin is having a party in LA tonight.. wanna go?"
Billy: "Nah, it's too far."

Get the Westlake Village mug.An area in Lower Manhattan, boxed in between East Houston and 14th Street and Avenue A and Broadway, where a proliferation of bars exist, at least 10 movie theaters, major bookstores, like St. Mark's Bookshop and The Strand Bookstore, performance venues like St. Mark's Church; where in the past it was affordable for impoverished artists to live and engage socially. The remarkable history of the East Village, includes residents like Allen Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs, Miguel Pinero, LeRoi Jones/Amiri Baraka, Charlie Parker, Emma Goldman, Lenny Bruce, Willem DeKooning, Jean Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, David Wojnarowicz, Robert Mapplethorpe, Iggy Pop, Patti Smith, Debbie Harry, original punker Richard Hell, authors like Arthur Nersesian and Richard Perez.
For many years, it no longer remains affordable for the starving artist; unless that artist is the son or daughter of a banker or real estate magnate. "Trust Fund Babies" are often seen populating the neighborhood, pretending to be poor and fashionably down and out.
Regardless of its pretensions, the East Village remains a stronghold for youth culture, regenerating itself generation after generation; this in spite of the fact that many of its landmarks -- like CBGB, the birthplace of punk rock -- are history. St. Mark's Place and Avenue A and the surrounding blocks retain a distinct character and personality, inviting wanabees and whatnots, twenty-nothings and thirty-zeroes to slum, which has always been true anyway: fakery has always been part of bohemia. But that's okay. Youth and folly go together like ham and eggs.

"East Village ain't what it used to be" -- said in the 70s, 80s, 90s and most recently
"East Village is dead" -- said in the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90 and most recently
"let's go to the East Village anyway; ain't nothing better to do." -- said in the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90 and most recently
"let's go get tattooed, pierced, drunk, bodyslammed, thrown out of a club, ticketed for sipping a forty on the sidewalk, chill in Tompkins Square Park, catch a French art flick, buy a book I won't read or understand, or be up for whatever in the East Village. You down?" -- suggested only yesterday, by me
