Mike, aka German in Venice, vlogs about daily life in Venice Beach, and the nearby communities.

"When I went to Costco, I saw flashing lights in Venice and I wonder what it was. They were shooting a music video with some really cool old cars. It’s really cool to see how they filmed the whole video."
