Even though Site Meter disagrees, LAist hasn't been the same without Carolyn, who moved away from us last month to put Pittsburg back on the map.

Gentle yet punk rock, well-read yet well-versed, even Koreatown misses it's native daughter and if we're lucky maybe she will write us and tell us what life is like outside the 323.

*crazy chill down our spines*

But seriously without Carolyn, this blogger would not be here writing to you several times a day and for that we are indebted. Her only rquest on her birthday was that we go see the Flaming Lips at the Bowl and steal a bottle of wine from someone in the box seats. And since we always listen to our advisers, consider it done, baby.

Happy 22nd Carolyn!
