Steve Abee is a human, we mean that in the realist of real ways, he is a poet and a  teacher, he’s the author of short stories and books, he was our AP English teacher and he is our friend. Mr. Abee (as he was to us for the first part of our knowing) is a history of Los Angeles, he knew Beck when Beck was playing in coffee shops in Echo Park, he’s probably the best person to ask where to get a cup of coffee or a doughnut in this desert city. Not only will he tell you where the best doughnut spot is in each area of LA, but he’ll tell you the tales of Sunset and Silverlake when the the phrase “oat late” would get your ass kicked. He is wickedly beautiful, and has an immensely large heart, always beating.
