The New York to Los Angeles Metafilter Goodwill Caravan 2008 May 24, 2008 9:58 AM Subscribe
Thin Lizzy and I are going to be in Los Angeles the first week of June, scouting for our upcoming move. Howsabout a meetup?
We're going to be apartment-hunting from the 2nd through the 7th, but we were thinking of making the meetup early in the week so we can grill y'all for L.A. tips. Let's say the 3rd? As for location, we're mainly going to be on the West side but are certainly open to suggestion.

Yeah, that'd be cool, especially the west side.
I have to say, though, that I was more excited when I thought that you were accompanying the band on tour or something.
At least give us a "The Boys are Back in Town" or something about the toughest street or jailbreaks…

The 3rd is a winning idea, especially on the west side.

I'll try to make it -- the 3rd/West side both appear to work for me. I don't know of any good places further west than Tom Bergin's, though, so I'll let others make the suggestion for where to hold this little jailbreak shindig.

Hey you.
Actually, don't believe a word of that. Los Angeles has a bad reputation for being a renegade town where you are encouraged to do anything you want to, some kind of silly, immature utopia for those who love to live. But I've got to give it up, that's probably why I'm fighting my way back and heading southbound after leaving town. Not that I can afford to move back right now, but Hell... it's only money.
Hope the meetup is a wild one. Can't make this one but maybe the next. Are you ready?
XOXOX.
With love, miss lynnster

Locations for the meetup? Well, we'll want to see the downtown sundown, though that's hard from the toughest street in town. It's no Opium Road, however. Perhaps, while dancing in the moonlight, we might meet an angel from the coast or a soldier of fortune. Dear Lord, I hope we don't find a killer without a cause. We'd have to get out of here, to fight or fall, like warriors. Once the police picked us up, our visitors Romeo and lonely girl would be waiting for an alibi. I told Bookhouse, that woman's gonna break your heart, she likes S&M, a real rock legend.
Anyway, JAILBREAK.

Well, there's a pretty great Indonesian restaurant across the street from the kareoke place, but I don't remember if they serve booze. They're also next door to a pretty great vegan place (The Vegan Joint, natch).
There's also a couple of Indian restaurants on Venice that I've been meaning to try, but I don't know if they serve booze either. There's Saints and Sinners for a good drink spot, but they've got no food. There's the Empanada Place, which also has no booze but has amazing empanadas (natch). There's Real Food Daily, off in Santa Monica or Hollywood, both of which have good grub and no booze. There's the Irish Times, which has pretty horrible food and good booze. There's Tacos La Flama, which has tasty Mexican food for dirt cheap and is right across the street from an awesome record store, but no booze. There's California Vegan, which has organic wine and decent food, though the wine's overpriced. There's the Overland Cafe, which has kinda over-priced vegetarian food but apparently really good meat food, and a bar.
There are a smattering of Japanese spots on Sawetelle, but I don't remember which ones are good for vegetarians, and most of them have sake.
So, really, what I'm saying is that if it's gonna be in my neighborhood (which the West Side sort of is), I'd like a little bit more information about what people are up for, so that I can give suggestions based on that.
There's also bowling and a night club called "Plan B" that I've never been to but that has a van that parks on my street.

I did not realize that, though from that link it's hard to tell whether there's actual nudity or if they just like the idea of having cognac served by women in lingerie.
Honestly, I only really know it because it shares its name with a contraceptive method and that makes it hilarious as a nightclub (that, and the van they park on my street is one of those full-wrap paint/screen jobs).
So… Plan B it is?

Plan B is a topless bar, owned by the same guy who owns "4play" down the street. A company I used to work for was a vendor to both places, which is the ONLY reason I know that :)
Also in your neighborhood is the Arsenal, which has food and drinks, Lares, which has both, and also the Air Conditioned Lounge, which may or may not have food.

It's on Pico, just past Bundy -- if it's not officially in Santa Monica, it's within spitting distance.
Not British-themed, just munitions-themed. Also, definitely NOT a vegetarian-friendly place for dinner (which is fine for me, but I know that doesn't work for everyone -- so if others want dinner, please chime in).

Yeah, yeah, I'm a vegetarian (as is my girlfriend), which is why my suggestions skew that way.
Oh, by the way—the last time everyone was going to the Edison, I shoulda just said that I'd be at The Smell next door, but I didn't know they were so close at the time.
Speaking of which, hey Bookhouse, is this gonna be a music tourism trip too, or just a house-huntin' one?

House-hunting is the key, but I'm hoping to meet with at least one editor while there, so color me curious. I'm woefully out-of-date on music, mostly writing about movies these days.
As far as the venue goes, I don't drink but I certainly don't mind a bar as the meeting place. Easy, it is.

Way to wrangle this one back on track, klangklangston. I appreciate that.
I like Mexican, Japanese, empanadas, vegetables (though I'm not a vegetarian), and booze if that narrows it down. Indian is bad because I have a food allergy that flares up if I eat cumin in large doses.
Also, I would happily go to any bar named "The Smell", or a topless bar, but not a topless bar named "The Smell".

I really gotta make a better effort to get out to this one, and I will chime in to say the Indo Cafe is REALLY good, but as a communal ordering type place, might be impractical depending on how many are showing up. Or posssibly actually totally practical, as they actually do the risjtafel smorgasbord-type thing for a large party. I actually like the Irish pub around the corner on Motor, which has pub grub of Irish and less Irish persuasions. The karoake place I usually find even more infuriating than most karoake places, and I like karoake, but I also begged out of karoake portion of the last LA meetup that featured it, so take that as you may. I have not eaten at the SF Saloon (more in the neighborhood of Plan B and Arsenal) in ages, but my recollection is that it was spacious and of the requisite quality, though not a destination.

That's the strongest words in favor of anyplace so far. In the interest of this not going on forever, let's say June 3rd after 7 at the SF Saloon.

I'd like to bring everyone's attention to the World on Wheels roller skating rink in beautiful, pastoral Culver City. They have a little event called Roller Disco. I have attended, and I can confirm that it is fucking awesome. They play a vast array of disco and funk until 2 am, and hold on, it gets better. Upstairs there's a bowling alley! Our troubles are over, dude. In the bowling alley there is, I shit you not, a karaoke bar.
Trifecta.
So roller disco isn't happening on the night this meetup is scheduled for, but I insist, nay, demand that we have a future meetup at roller disco. For reference, I will be wearing this.

Oh noes! The Anaheim meetup with Jessamyn et al is on June 28th!
Also, I don't know how to rollerskate.

That's ok, the non-skaters can fall back on the alternate activites: bowling, karaoke, and drinking.

I suppose this might be a problem. However, roller disco is a monthly event, so it doesn't have to be this particular date.
Of course we could try to kidnap Jessamyn and take her on a bowlingkaraokerollerdisco tour of debauchery. I think she'd fight it until the ether took hold, but then later on she'd thank us.

Good times people. I posted my group shot.
I learned that Paul Weller is not to be confused with Peter Weller.
I'm still trying to pawn off my 4 bags of comics to someone that reads them.

Don't worry, it's never a bad thing to confuse someone for ROBOCOP.

One unintended consequence of going to a meetup: trying harder not to appear like an ass online in case you go to the next one.
Or maybe it's not me.

uh, maybe it's JUST me. I appear to have failed in my attempt to appear less like an ass online. Oops.
