Fuck those idiots.
I know it sucks but a few months back somebody did drive through and hit someone on their bike and they were hurt while they just drove off.

I would just deal with it, it's just like a railroad crossing, except I guess you don't live near the railroads though.

It's almost like this is web forum where I vent hyperbolic expressions of rage on a regular basis!

(I wouldn't actually hit a biker.)

In my hubris, I decided to make Sprinkles Cupcakes today. The Vanilla came out fine.

Then I tried Chocolate.

Don't try to make Sprinkles Chocolate.

Wtf Santa Monica...
Here with some friends for a few days. Figured we all wanted to head out to a dance club tonight. Holy shit this place is the biggest hippie-ville ever. Wtf. Went to 2 clubs that were "highly" recommended to us from our hotel.
The first was the most bizzare music ever. Not even techno, I can get into that. This shit was something else entirely. I don't even think being on E would help with that. Nearly every person there had dreads to their shoulders and was trippin BALLS.
Broke the f out of that shit.
Next suggestion near us and also a highly rated place on Google. Dear god the SAME thing. No way were we going to shell out a cover when we could hear the same crap music inside. Plus the homeless looking dudes smokin outside didn't help.
So here we are. Just aimlessly walking back to Ocean Ave and just strolled into a bar that had a Guinness sign outside.
I am so freakin pissed. It was hard enough to get everyone motivated to go out. Now we are not doing a damn thing and it's 12am
Help me out Gaf. Are there any decent hip hop clubs around here???

In Santa Barbra we went to 3 clubs one night - some of the best clubs I have ever been to. A couple amazing Hip Hop places and one techno place. And that I figured, would have been a rarity considering the small size of that place.
Thats pretty much the reason I figured there MUST be some kick ass clubs in santa monica. Not looking that way.

LOL dude it's Santa Monica man. You need to hit up places closer to colleges like Santa Barbara.

Should have checked out Westwood area, don't know it too well but UCLA is near and I'd bet there would be some bombass places.

When it comes to clubs, you need to know what days are what. At the same club, you could have a reggae night, electronic night, salsa night, and hip hop night. The Room is a good spot for hip hop (old school kind of stuff) on Friday and Saturday I believe. Zanzibar plays hip hop one of those nights too, not sure which.

Surprised you guys like Santa Barbara clubs so much, I went to one two years ago and didn't think it was anything special. Forget which one it was, probably one of the bigger ones in SB though.

You're right, SB clubs aren't anything special, but the crowds are what makes it, imo. I went to school in SB and compared to Hollywood clubs, it's just less pretentious + really attractive/drunk college girls = awesome blossom.

Speaking of clubs, anyone heading to Belasco tomorrow night? 99% Asian. lol

Is it pretty much the same as Exchange? Electronic music?

I was at playhouse last night, had an amazing time. Probably because the DJ was playing trap music, which is my current addiction :P

Never been to Exchange, but it's been a mixture last time I went. A little bit of edm and top 40, with sprinkles of hiphop and 80s.

Not bad.

I'll have to check out playhouse sometime. Been on my list for a while.

I'm finally off work tomorrow so I'm going to see the Avengers. Which is the best theater to see it in? Is the Citywalk IMAX the best option? I can't really get a straight answer. Is it better to just go to Arclight instead?

Arclight normally yes, but because of Arclight Hollywood's proximity to the El Capitan (the Disney-owned theater) they're not allowed to show Avengers :(

The IMAX in Culver City is a little nicer than the one at Citywalk just because it's more recent.

They're also using our conversations on a community Facebook page to use in the stories, apparently. :/

News vans finally left a couple of hours ago, after being there since about 2 in the morning. There was no party here, regardless of what the news says. Every channel and paper and website is getting that wrong.

I've been offered a position in California. More specifically Culver City. I've been googling but I'd like to hear LA-GAF's thoughts on that area. Traffic? Cost of living?

Would a chemistry major be able to find a job in that area?
