I'll be driving down tomorrow with gaffer Eraldo Coil and my kid. Going to take EC to the korean consulate again. Is the galleria in K-town a cool place to walk around?

not really. maybe except for delicious korean food in the area.
its not exactly a tourist spot.

I just have to waste time for a little bit and I don't want to be in the heat with a four year old.

[TheKaeptain]

Okay I will be moving to Santa Monica on the 23rd. Hopefully I can find a place in SFV soon. I haven't had time with all the court shit I have to do for ex.

[TheKaeptain]

It's nice in here compared to last Friday.

What is everyones favorite Thai food place? (really craving some pad kra pao!!)

Also anyone ever been to Lalas Argentine Grill? Think its on Melrose?

[clearacell]

Might as well bring attention to this thread in case you guys missed it.

[Style Fox]

If someone were to move to LA how you would you go about meeting people there. I've never lived in a big city before so I don't know if it's easier or harder to meet new people.

I've read very good things about Night + Market in WeHo and then there is of course Jitlada for their spicy food in Thai Town.

[PG2G]

I've been to Lala's a few times. I always get the Milanesa Napolitana, it is massive! The sangria there is pretty good too.

I'm going to put in a vote for Renu Nakorn in Norwalk, should you ever be in that neighborhood...

It's the sense of touch. In any real city, you walk, you know? You brush past people, people bump into you. In L.A., nobody touches you. We're always behind this metal and glass. I think we miss that touch so much, that we crash into each other, just so we can feel something.

quote from "crash", best Picture Oscar in 2005.AS SAD AS REAL .

Crash is a shitty movie.
I prefer this quote from Collateral:

Vincent: 17 million people. This is got to be the fifth biggest economy in the world and nobody knows each other. I read about this guy who gets on the MTA here, dies.
Max: Oh.
Vincent: Six hours he's riding the subway before anybody notices his corpse doing laps around L.A., people on and off sitting next to him. Nobody notices

Crash is more complex and comprehensive than collateral,a movie for teenagers actually.

My parents just visited for the first time since I've been living here. They were appalled at the rudeness of people. Mostly that means they were bothered everyone ignored each other and some people are rude. Is that bad though? We're surrounded by so many people that who has the time to consider every person you pass by? I'd rather just be in my own world most the time.

about the same really. "racism exists, so we are going to show you a bunch of racists in very stereotypical situations to show how racist they are" is the point of the film.

Much agreed it was such a grab title for awards I hated it in principal.

I think our problem is we have too many isolated hoods. Here in the SGV the Chinese folk can spend their entire life without needing to speak English which would be close to impossible any most other large cities in America with significant Chinese populations. There's so much segregation by income and ethnicity it's no surprise we tend to stick to our enclaves. It doesn't bother me that much but I do think it's difficult to find a diverse set of friends in this town and make it work considering most people would have to drive 30-40 miles to meet up.

[hateradio]

I was just looking up the weather.




"Sunny"? Are you kidding me. It's fucking hell fire at this point.

[Fidelis Hodie]

Yeah, pretty scorching.

Fuck this heat! We're not even hitting mid 80's until Tuesday.

[commedieu]

Its hot.

Heading to disneyland.. soon...

should be "fun"

[Herpes Reasons]

what's a good affordable portable AC unit?
this heat is all sorts of bullshit.

Same as any place, really. If you move for work, you'll have work friends. If you move for school, you'll have school friends.

If you're moving solely for the weather, it might be a bit harder at first. Eventually though, you'll meet people at whatever you end up doing.

Don't worry.

Finding a place to live sucks. Also, strange people in the valley.

[timetokill]

Finding a place to live sucks. Also, strange people in the valley.

Yeah, I'm in this boat too. There are so many hypocrisies/contradictions in the process.

- Landlords want people to move in immediately, but renters are not likely to wait until the very last minute to find a place to live
- Landlords/building mgmt frequently closed on weekends. Want you to come by and check out the place during the weekday. At which point they want to verify employment... you know, the job you're being forced to miss because they only let you view the place on weekdays during business hours.
- 95% of postings are scams nowadays

Anyone attending the eat see listen event?

[Jzero]

Fuck this heat :(

[TheKaeptain]

What heat?

What heat?

It feels hot as fuck here in Lakewood. If you ride your car you probably won't feel it though.

Anyone ever been to Comme Ca? Went there on Sat and had the burger, was amazing.

[PG2G]

Yeah, some people consider it one of the best in America. I think even the NY times wrote an article on it being the perfect burger

[Xal-Shoota]

Has anybody just straight up moved here without a job and found work quickly after? Seems like a bad idea, but at the same time I think being in the city helps my chances of talking with people/interviewing/getting hired. I lived in LA on and off for the last 2 years on internships, but now I'm done with school and looking for a full time gig...but I'm back in Ohio.

And for reference, I'm a designer/motion graphics guy mostly. www.sankethy.com is all I got to show off aside from a resume/LinkedIn profile, but the longer I stay here the more I want to take my chances and just move before my loan repayment kicks in! :/

You should move in with me. We can be broke together.

Was it this bad last summer? I can't remember it being this bad....

Anyways, I'm here in Bellflower, CA (Next door to Cerritos!) contemplating if I should go grab a mop bucket to avoid making anyone clean up the mess that is my melted body.

Yeah last summer was quite mild but the winter was hot for some strange reason, we even had a full day of rain last year IIRC.

Does anyone know of good places to get falafels and shawerma?

Joe's Falafel in Studio City.

I've always loved Al Hamra Halal Café in Redondo Beach. I work in the area so I'm there at least once a week for lunch. Combining their hot and garlic sauces is pure heaven

[BootlegSnackz]

aww hell is it raining this morning? so odd...

[TheKaeptain]

Man fucking rain...

It's happening, I'm moving to Los Angeles in October. I will stay for 3-4 months first, company will review budgets and decide to keep me there for a full year. I need to be close to all the major broadcast networks. I'm thinking of staying here: 5600 wilshire. anyone heard of this place?

I'm pretty hard for that place.

I'm assuming you meant heard? It could be a pricey place to live, that's basically Miracle Mile/Mid Whilshire area. If you are lucky you can find a rent controlled apartment but I'd doubt it.

I think I worked with someone who lived there when I worked in the Variety building.

Personally I couldn't live in that area, it takes like 40 minutes to drive 5 miles to the free way, no thanks.
