if we ever do an sgv meetup at zyzyxxz's bar, we might have to just eat there and move on to a dive bar to play some pool! That place seems too upscale for me, Bar 21 down the street is more my style.

Nah it's pretty chill, maybe upscale in look but it very casual. Also you guys can move onto the Cue Ball for pool which is a short drive away.

Also since we've barely opened business hasn't quite picked up yet so you guys can basically own the place and probably make music request as well.

You got the Culver City Farmer's Market on Tues http://www.yelp.com/biz/culver-city-...et-culver-city And for a short drive (15-20 mins no traffic) you can visit the Wednesday and Saturday Santa Monica Farmer's Market which is one of if not my favorite Farmer's Market that I've been to.

It'll probably have to be the Saturday Santa Monica farmer's market for me, then. The Culver City one would be more convenient, but I generally work 10-7, and lunch hour has to finish by 2.

You guys always make me hungry. Not sure why but yeah...

Because I love talking about food!

Switching topics for a second: how is the LA Times festival of books?

Yeah well traffic is virtually non-existent when I would go which is 7-8am (yeah I know who wakes up that early on a weekend) but by 2-3pm traffic will get gnarly so unless you want to stay in SanMo get out of there.

Want to go to the festival of books just for the celebrity chefs though.

[Nekobo]

Switching topics for a second: how is the LA Times festival of books?

I'll be going on Saturday for the Watchmen panel and screening. I'll have my 3DS on me to do some street passing, too. :p

I've only been to the festival when it was at UCLA, so I have no idea if it's any better at USC. But yah, if you guys wanna meet up I'll be there all afternoon and will probably go to K-town for dinner. Then probably hit up hit Bourbon St. Cafe (http://www.yelp.com/biz/bourbon-street-cafe-los-angeles).

Here's the schedule.

I went to ElecTRONica's final show last night, and I'm sad I didn't discover it earlier.

Are there any cool rave or ravelike scenes in Los Angeles? If possible:

1) Fancy lights!
2) Electronica, minimal/no Top 40
3) Competent DJ
4) Low/no cover

Thanks!

[PG2G]

Anyone know anywhere to get Fried Pizza in LA?

Oh, that's a bummer... I never did make it over there and I had no idea it was ending. :\

There's also a Sunday Farmer's Market in Mar Vista and a Saturday one in Playa Del Rey if you want to go to places a bit less crowded than Santa Monica.

So, finally saw SNL's The Californians.

Was good.

[TheKaeptain]

Going to file letter of intent this week.

L.A. Traffic sucked ass while coming back from Griffith Observatory. Thank god i live a little farther.

[plasticpassion]

Im at the Library downtown right now. Place is neat but holy hell at the drink prices. We got two whiskey sours with Johnny walker red label and the total was $32 without tip. Very rarely have I been to bars that charge that much. Hell I just went to Bottega Louie which is a lot more charming minus the amount of people and the same was $24. Wonder why the Library is so much.

[Sobriquet]

Shot in the dark: Does anyone have two extra Jeff Mangum tickets for tomorrow?

I was in a place in Hollywood like five years ago and it was super expensive. Imported beer in a bottle was like 9 bucks. I just said fuck it and danced with this hot ass Russian chick.

Great skit on SNL tonight..."The Californians" http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-li...rnians/1396627 http://www.hulu.com/watch/350669/sat...ans#s-p1-sr-i1

Marina Del Rey isn't even close to Long Beach. This skit sucks.

So the bar I work at is having it's grand opening on the 28th this Saturday. For those interested info:

Spirit House Bar

I can't promise anything but probability of hot Asian honies is likely.

[TheKaeptain]

You're just trying to get me to drive down there...


Also, it is official! I will be a member of LA-Gaf next semester.

[HenryGale]

So who won GAF is responsible for the seven helicopters who've been circling around Los Feliz and Hollywood the last 25 minutes with their spotlights on?

I've gone the past two Fridays and dig the place. Just needs more regulars and the place will be bumpin'. Sadly, I won't in town this weekend to make it to the opening.

Here's a pic of some stuff Zyzyxxz (super nice fella) cooked up for me last Friday. Finger lickin' good.

[HP_Wuvcraft]

So, what the fuck is up with this wind, yah?

[StopMakingSense]

Yeah, weather is pretty fucking effed today. So humid and gross.

[HP_Wuvcraft]

It wasn't even funny. Going out to get my car, and the wind went from 5 mph to 50000 mph in 6 seconds.

[plasticpassion]

Has anyonebeen to Gyu-kaku japanese BBQ? Their happy hour specials look pretty decent. Cheap Sapporo draft in a pitcher ($8).

My concern is I'm not a big KBBQ fan. I've never had Japanese BBQ; is it very similar?

I've been to the one in Pasadena. IMO it's different from KBBQ. If you like eating meat with savory sauces you'll be fine.

Driving to work this morning, there were people literally driving 30-40 mph with completely open lanes in front of them. All because it had rained maybe 8 hours earlier. I ended up being late to work because of those idiots.

I wanted to string them up on burning stakes along the side of the freeway as examples to all who would dare to drive so stupidly.

Honestly, if you're too chickenshit to at least do the speed limit when it isn't even raining anymore, take the fucking surface streets.

[Jzero]

Yeah we have soda for you kids.

ugh i'm 20 1/2 i don't want soda :(

[Fidelis Hodie]

So to anyone interested, I'm playing a small acoustic set at the kbitz room tomorrow night around 10:30pm. I think I have one on Sunday too, but it's not locked yet. Would love to see all!

[Zyzyxxz]

ugh i'm 20 1/2 i don't want soda :(

well actually we card now since we are going into official open mode so your underage ass is not welcome.

[TheKaeptain]

Apparently people in NYC think LA has no culture, no food, no history, and no women.

[clearacell]

and the rest of the world thinks the same about the entirety of the united states...so what does that make us :(

its mah b-day LA GAF! :D

¡feliz cumpleaños!

[Verano]

its mah b-day LA GAF! :D

[timetokill]

It's a typical uppity-NYC attitude. Chicagoans also have that attitude but they're just salty because they're no longer the "second city" and because nobody in LA gives a shit about them. They're in flyover country :P

People don't understand the word "culture" apparently. Los Angeles has it in spades. California is a huge trendsetter for the nation, the rest of the country just doesn't realize it.

[HP_Wuvcraft]

What's even more infuriating are dumfucks who go below 65 in the carpool lanes.
They go in their for the sake of being in carpool.
dumbfucks

In my Sociology class the teacher pointed out that LA is the trendsetter for the world and also one of the most culturally diverse areas of the world.

Edit: oh yeah, how hard is it to find a job that will work around classes in LA?

[Zyzyxxz]

So if anybody is interested in coming to our grand opening of the bar tomorrow night just a FYI food will be free I am told so that means I'll be making a shit ton of food.

*Yay me* It's going to suck for me.

There was this idiotic procession of bikers tonight on one of the north/south streets just past Vermont. Those pig-fuckers held up traffic for a good 15 minutes. I think I missed 5 or 6 consecutive green lights because of them. If cops hadn't been there, I seriously would have plowed through with no regard for human life.

Fuck those idiots.

Sounds like Critical Mass.

On the one hand, I get that it's frustrating for drivers, but on the other hand, people who express homicidal thoughts because they were held up for a few minutes only illustrates the need for CM. (not to mention the actual drivers who do hit and kill bikers (outside of CM) and get slaps on the wrist for it.)
