Here's how we play...

As I'm preparing my first actual post of substance (subjectivity pending), it dawned upon me in my post-work haze that I should let it be known how I'm going to impart my missives on the masses. Consider The Petty Bourgeois a cultural think tank. It's my passion to share what I love and hear about what sparks you as well. Because I'm nutty for organization, posts will fall into one of the following categories:

Places You Should Go: All about the spots I dig. Holes-In-Walls. Sights to be seen. Late-night haunts. Entertainment spots of all kinds. A mostly Southern California-centric collection(can't help it), but occasionally my travels will add more flavor here. Give me your recommendations. When you have a choice in the matter, where do you love to go? Any routines or rituals that include have to include a specific restaurant or cafe? Not just interested in Los Angeles. Where have you been? What place do you visit and think "I really could live here" and what makes it so appealing? Any and all opinions welcome!

Where's THE place to nosh on pastrami on rye in Vergennes Vermont?



For grabbing pints in Trondheim Norway?






Help me help you, me, and everyone we know and have yet to meet.

People You Should Know: People of all walks who you need to know about immediately. Obscure musicians. Funny people. Personal friends of mine. Regular people doing what they do. If they're doing stuff I find postworthy and exposure-necessary, it's going up.

Music You Should Hear: Easy enough to digest, right? I'll be covering a band, artist, album, or genre that I love and feel needs exposure. Won't be finding a review of mainstream anything here! Contact me if you'd like me to check out your sounds.


Beer: All things related to the Nectar of the Gods. I'll take a look at individual beers, breweries, beer bars/shops, festivals, any other goings-on. Know of a brewery, gastropub, etc. who could stand to be heard about? Please to let me know.














This baby is as much mine as it is all of yours.

Welcome to The Petty Bourgeois.

Hello, It's Me

Thank you for stopping by and taking a gander at what will hopefully be a comprehensive look at the stuff I love and want to share with others. A correspondence course in Dustin De Leon, if you will...if you don't, that's ok...it was a crappy analogy.

I am a 28 year old guy living in Glendora, California who works as an Autism Aide by day and is constantly seeking out new music, beer, hangout spots and the like by night/weekend. I have a passion for one-upping myself and never tire of answering the question "so what now?" Via this blog situation, I hope to not only share what it is that I love, but to use this as sort of a trading post for your thoughts and recommendations with hopefully a great deal of "Oh, you've heard of this? Well, take THIS to the bank and cash it!" Friends have told me I have an "uncanny mastery of stuff people don't know much about or don't give a crap to investigate further" (taking that as complimentary, Chachi). With any luck, this here, The Petty Bourgeois, will serve you and my nutty passions well.


Thank you and I hope you enjoy!

Dustin De Leon
