Also not wrong.
On kinda the same tip, I grew up by Randy’s and never came. Now I have made it a Sunday tradition when going to visit my parents and do laundry because it’s right off the freeway and has a drive thru and I don’t have to get the kids out of the car.

 

L.A. man arrested after trove of Molotov cocktails found in Santa Monica Mountains

holy shit

 

what a great day to not vote for Rick Caruso!

hoping some good comes from this election

 

things I learned at Pride:
wear sunscreen
wear something that covers your shoulders, maybe also a hat
avoid crowds to get a better view of the parade
take pictures of people, not just floats
take video, not just pictures
have a headband or bobby pins to keep hair out of your face
bring food, or at least snacks
bring a buddy, or a group
actually talk to people, make friends

 

happy summer eh?

 

Lightning last night was beautiful!!

 

That thunder made me bolt up right at 4am. Thought there had been an explosion it was so loud

 

Anybody in the San Diego or LA area want a free ticket to the VHS Collection/Fly By Midnight show next week Wednesday the 20th? At the House of Blues in San Diego. Just remembered I booked a campground stay up in Morro Bay starting that night, so now I can't make the show. I can transfer the ticket it looks like in Ticketmaster

 

Anybody interested in two GA tickets for Frank Turner at the Wiltern tonight? Going to Sound and Fury so I can’t make it.

i spent just over $100 but the pair is yours for $40

 

Shadow Hills fire seems to be under control, no evac call, no more helicopter noise. We had someone knocking door-to-door telling everyone to evacuate which caused us to panic for a bit but they weren't LAFD and we're not even sure if they were a neighbor

 

My band is coming through the west coast for the first time as part of our Treefort fest tour and I’m struggling to find rooms that the right level of small for us. Curious if this thread has good recommendations for venues in the city that a minimally buzzy rock band with zero California history outside Long Beach could get into. This also applies to San Diego if anybody knows the venues there

 

Off the top of my head I think the Echo, Bootleg Theatre, and Moroccan Lounge are pretty small

 

The Lodge Room in Highland Park might be worth a look as well.

 

DM me, I may be able to help out

 

For San Diego I’d check out Che Cafe, The Merrow, The Casbah, Soda Bar, and possibly the side stages at Soma and House of Blues. And if you need a San Diego artist to open for you, I’m your guy!

 

Programme, Supply & Demand, Wayfarer, and Resident are more smaller options.

Lodge Room might be my favorite venue in the area. 1720 is also a nice option.

anyone been to the Airliner? Never heard of it until the Wild Pink tour that’s there in December.

 

Played the Airliner a few months ago and really liked it! Had never been there before or anything so it was a nice surprise. Really great food in the area as well. I didn’t eat there but their food is apparently great as well

 

Anyone been to LA Comic Con? Anime Expo was such a shit show this year and the worst part is I'll probably be back next year anyway. I noticed a lot of cosplayers I follow were at LA Comic Con, though, so maybe I'll go to that next year as well. I just hope we collectively get our shit together by then re: covid

 

LA Comic Con is always a solid B.

As far as cons go, it’s not the best run. Lines to get into the con are always too long, but I’ve been going since 2017 and I always enjoy it.

It’s not the huge con that San Diego Comic Con is, but it’s not small either. The guests they get are always pretty decent too.

 

Will be here for a college program from June through July.

 

time to go to all the dodgers games

 

I feel like a traitor, I left LA for OC over a year ago but I still keep tabs on this thread.... I'm watching you

 

I don't think there's an OC thread so you might as well stay here. I'm hardly in the city myself, though I live in LA County. I feel like the thread is for the general LA area haha

 

Ya I technically live an hour up the coast from LA, but I still lurk in here ha. I used to be in LA a lot more than I am nowadays.

 

I live in San Diego but I still lurk the thread haha. I go to LA like 20 times a year though
