Last-minute L.A. meetup?

May 11, 2009 11:41 AM

-t and I are headed to L.A. on the 15th! Any interest in a last-minute meetup?

The 15th, 16th, 17th, or 18th would all work for us. We're staying in the Silver Lake neighborhood. Or - since this trip is going to be my Korean food fix for a while - how about noodles or barbeque in K-town? Food, drink, and all other suggestions, meetup-related and not, are welcome (public transit-accessible, please, for bonus points)!

I'd be up for dinner anywhere in K-Town. Maybe at Soowon Galbi? It's only a couple of blocks from the Wilshire / Vermont Red Line Station, so it's about as accessible to public transportation as anywhere in Los Angeles.

This is probably doable.

Friday night is good for me. This is going to be a swimsuit-optional meetup, right?

Out of curiosity, are you going in -t's awesome Saab wagon?

hellojed - tragically, no; it's a short trip, so we'll be flying (shudder).

Okay! So Friday, down in Koreatown - Soowon Galbi looks great! Hwe naeng myun, here I come.

Any more takers?

They got vegetarian food?

klangklangston - they should have delicious vegetable pancake things (pajun!) and noodles and tons of vegetable banchan and maybe even veggie barbecue.

speicus and I are up for it. If you are interested in a ride, we can pick you up on our way through Silver Lake. For that matter--carsonb, wanna carpool?

Do we have a proposed time for this meetup?

Also, perhaps drinks at the HMS Bounty afterwards?

Oh man, from right here a few hours into my second consecutive ridiculously long workday it's not looking like I'm gonna make it tonight. Sorry to back out. =\

Wonderful to meet everyone. I'll put the photos up soon. . .or maybe I'll put up DaShiv's and say they're mine.
