culver city art walk is saturday too

Ur show?

dunno how many ppl here regularly use the metro but: have they been really stepping up security/ticket enforcement lately or is it just me?

They said they were going to start doing that here so I'm not surprised...

it's def not you, it seems like those dudes are at every station now

its like a fuckin $200 ticket too

so maybe dont rip off the system, eh

Ur show?

just now checking. my show ended friday but i am in their group show for the artwalk, which is up until friday or saturday of this week. art walk was fun, very packed.

dunno how many ppl here regularly use the metro but: have they been really stepping up security/ticket enforcement lately or is it just me?

i always expect to see them around the major stations. i have very very rarely stiffed metro; it's so much more worthwhile to scrounge up the $1.50 than to have to pay a $250 fine. if you're gonna get hassled by the fuzz, at least let it be for something *cool*.

so donna, the Spotlight Bar on Cahuenga is still open, right?

so ian liked the Getty Center, i should go?

respectively: as far as i know, and yes

just got tipped off to an $11 sunday brunch vegan buffet on pico near la cienega. anyone want to give it a go?

where do u guys take Raggett for Arcade Fire karaoke?

am thinking of flying to Long Beach from SF, as it's only $84 and everything else is too slow.

going to the pruitt-igoe documentary at the l.a. film fest on saturday. it's downtown at l.a. live.

where do u guys take Raggett for Arcade Fire karaoke?

This is a vision. To avoid.

Where did we go last time. Nice room, a little loud though. We all still on for that mid-July Saturday meetup?

the place in koreatown? i liked it, but the english-language song selections were limited.

yeah, i would vote for max karaoke instead (there's 2 locations, one downtown and one on the westside - haven't been to the DT one but presumably it is close by a subway)

I'm not ready to commit to a specific night yet, I have ppl to talk to.

also not really a karaoke nut.

= K

however: Sarah Silverman "& Friends" at Largo on July 14? (thurs)

We all still on for that mid-July Saturday meetup?

Tailgating the 405 shutdown, please

yellow magic orchestra and cibo matto this sunday at the hollywood bowl, you guys. special guest yoko ono!

Is Morbius coming for Outfest

Not FOR it, but I may go see something (any ideas?). Weekend, donna?

yeah! i would see that. there's a couple of things i'm interested in seeing

ok, when I'm able, why don't I buy 2 tix for that one on the 13th?

Pizzeria Mozza: sans res, can I go in and eat at the bar?

Do you guys want to drink in Hollywood, Silver Lake?

In my case (assuming we're still talking Saturday the 16th for a FAP) it'll have to be afternoon drinking, both Hollywood and Silver Lake are feasible. Will need to be back at Union Station by around 4:30 for the regular dinner with friends I do each month down here.

the 13th sounds good! and i can probably drink the whole livelong day on the 16th so that's ok by me

very decadent option. I'm OK w/ doing a diff night (Friday?) if matinee drinking not good for others, but really I need to finalize my other plans soon so I know.

Friday night would be out for me due to other plans, then again I am but one voice. I was talking with Cunga the other day about this and he's v. much down for Sat. afternoon as well.

It should be noted that that is the weekend of Carmageddon, but considering as I seem to be the only person on here that a) lives on the west side and b) has a car, I guess that really only affects me.

Ha, doom. (Actually wouldn't you just be able to get on the 10 and sneak over?)

i think I will hit the beach towns (S.M. and Venice, really) by myself on a weekday, unless any of you are gung ho about that.

I live on Sepulveda, Ned. A.k.a. the only real alternative to the 405. I'm not convinced I'll even be able to get out of my apartment complex.

OK dr, I got the Weekend tix. (DGA theatre)

I also have a library book, Secret Stairs, with maps / directions for LA staircase walks. 42 of them.

xpost -- mobilize your attack hamster metal squadron. The rest will follow.

so psyched about can't stop the music at the hammer.
