Clever, ain't it?

Aaaand after the jump: Brit garage rock/post-punk/shoegaze/whatever band the Horrors at the Glass House (with Costa Mesa's the Japanese Motors!), Disneyland's always popular Gay Days and kite surfers invade Long Beach.

Day one of Gay Days!

​Next, photog Andrew Youssef checked out Gay Days at Disneyland on Friday. The park was super crowded, probably thanks to both Gay Days and the many, many Halloween celebrations taking placing throughout the month at the park. More pics here!

Puuuurdy.

​And then? Gusty winds brought kite surfers to Belmont Shore on Sunday. A few facts: You can get an entire kite surfing rig (used) for $400. The kites do not sink because they have inflated spines. Kites do not fly away because they are designed to lie down if untethered. And, yes, kites will lift surfer off the ground and are a handful until in the surf. All photos by Keith May!
