I'm going to be taking a trip to LA in a couple of weeks, and I would love some suggestions on fun things to do. Anybody have a club or pub they can recommend? Good restaurants, a fun park, a neat theater? It's all good, I'm very open to suggestions!

About all I know is that Hollyweird is there. Actually, that's the only thing I need to know in order to decide that LA is not a place I want to visit. :)

To be perfectly honest, I don't particularly want to go to LA either. I went there once when I was much younger, and found it to be very smelly and unnecessarily loud (and I say this as somebody who has lived in major cities for their entire life). However, at the moment LA has something I cannot resist...my boytoy :).

I dislike LA. There are so many people there (25 million), everybody has to have some sort of a schtik in order to not just simply fall into obscurity. Everybody is fake, everybody has a line, everybody is trying to keep from disappearing into nothingness among the sea of other people milling around doing essentially the same thing.

When I was there last time, I had broken my glasses, and so I went to an optical shop to have them repaired. Well, in the line before me was a guy with a Rolex, who drove up in a big Lexus. He had to put his kid's new glasses over two (2) credit cards, because he didnt have enough credit left on either one to buy the glasses -- fake.

Go to the Observatory. It's cool and the road there is scarier than the Jurassic Park ride at Universal.

Groovy! That sounds like a cool kind of outing.

Beware of the blob.
"We were called back because there was a gooey substance, a tarry-type substance, coming out the underground electrical vaults, out of manhole covers in the street, through the sidewalks and possibly in one older apartment building," Myers said. A 120-foot stretch of Olive buckled 1 1/2 feet, he said. The pre-1933 unreinforced masonry apartment building shifted one foot from its foundation. Sidewalks were as hot as Jacuzzis.
