Sunshine, movie stars, ned, arthur, Vic, chris, chaki, spencer, more movie stars...

LA has it's share of HARD RAWK/METAL clubs, get a leather jacket - and the rock chicks will be yours Gareth.

― DJ Martian (djmartian), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 13:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes, leather jacket is urgent and key and also sunglasses. And when you are in Texas, a cowboy outfit. I got bored and drew a picture of what this would look like, and will scan it in and post it when I am at home.

― Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 13:39 (twenty-two years ago)

A leather jacket and tight Bon Jovi-stylee stonewashed jeans. That sounds LA.

― Nicole (Nicole), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 13:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Also hair-rock hairdo!!!

― Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 13:44 (twenty-two years ago)

don't forget the switchblade/comb.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 13:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes, Gareth needs a poodle perm. He could look like Tico Torres.

― Nicole (Nicole), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 13:47 (twenty-two years ago)

I inadvertantly drew a picture of this too! Not with Gareth in mind but it works. I captioned it "Infidel or DISCO?" which makes no sense but had me laughing to myself so hard last night that I had to excuse myself from class. I shall post all of these pictures as demonstrations of how Gareth should look whilst in America.

― Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 13:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Ally and Nicole are scaring me -- and scarring me -- duly.

Major megaFAP on the 31st, but we'll figure out other things for ya that week, fret not.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 13:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Gareth in Leather Jacket = looking like a BRMC clone !

― DJ Martian (djmartian), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 13:53 (twenty-two years ago)

Gareth: INFIDEL OR DISCO?? Are you frightened NOW, Ned?

― Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 13:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Gareth: Scientologist or YAFfer? would scare me more, and be perfectly appropriate for LA.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 13:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Major megaFAP on the 31st

My birthday! Have a Caipirinha for me!

― Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 13:56 (twenty-two years ago)

An LA FAP would be one I would really love to go to. Enjoy, Gareth!

― Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 13:56 (twenty-two years ago)

My dear Nordicskillz, when you come out here, we shall have both SF FAPs for you and LA FAPs for when you come and visit. And you WILL come and visit.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 14:01 (twenty-two years ago)

For serious? *blushes* shucks!

― Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 14:02 (twenty-two years ago)

If Gareth isn't passed out in the gutter in front of the Viper Room while wearing a leather jacket I will be VERY dissapointed!

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 14:03 (twenty-two years ago)

I have relatives in LA. My cousin is Cher's interior designer! (namedropping alert) He was on US Faking It.

― Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 14:04 (twenty-two years ago)

Aaron, I don't know if we're going to treat him that well, but we shall see.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 14:08 (twenty-two years ago)

Gareth, is there any part of the USA you are not planning to visit sometime in the next six months?

― Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 14:17 (twenty-two years ago)

you will find our ILX crew welcoming you!!! silly question.

and lots of fake breasts.

― Vic, Tuesday, 29 April 2003 14:19 (twenty-two years ago)

Gareth in L.A.

― Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 14:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Have fun, gareth. Are you going in May? How will you get around? If you have a car I would make certain suggestions but if not then I would suggest others. You might like downtown. Venice and Pasadena are nice and decrepit.

If you go to Commerce you would find a poker hall.

I know you did not ask my advice but if you did I would say go with the "English" thing. LA is so eclectic it's impossible not to fit in.

― felicity (felicity), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 15:33 (twenty-two years ago)

I think Spencer will drive Gareth around in his Williams chick magnet convertible.

― Mary (Mary), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 15:37 (twenty-two years ago)

your jetset lifestyle is impressive gareth, BUT HOW LONG CAN IT LAST

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 15:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Until the omnipotent baby sings.

― Nicole (Nicole), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 15:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Spencer, don't forget to take gareth to "our" gas station.

― felicity (felicity), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 15:43 (twenty-two years ago)

So cryptic, to ask would surely be to spoil.

― Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 16:02 (twenty-two years ago)

That was where they all lezzed up, obviously.

― Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 16:52 (twenty-two years ago)

I've already volunteered to take Gareth on a proper scenic driving tour that will involve said mysterious gas station, Sunset, Santa Monica, The Kings Road Cafe (saw that Topher guy there from That 70s Show on Sunday), The Bradbury Building, The new Standard, and maybe even the "decrepit" areas of Pasadena and Venice.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 17:05 (twenty-two years ago)

No love for tinsel town, Spencer?

― Vic, Tuesday, 29 April 2003 17:08 (twenty-two years ago)

That is tinsel town!

― felicity (felicity), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 17:10 (twenty-two years ago)

Sunset and The Kings Road are both in Tinselton!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 17:52 (twenty-two years ago)

We should all have dinner at Bahooka in Rosemead. Hawaiian detritus! Nautical themes! Not too expensive!

― Arthur (Arthur), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 20:37 (twenty-two years ago)

summer 03

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 20:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Nothing beats the Polynesian mayhem at Tiki Ti though - plus it's closer to Tinseltown.

― Chris Barrus (Chris Barrus), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 20:50 (twenty-two years ago)

They don't serve food, though, do they? Can't remember. And they have the weirdest hours. I think they just open whenever they feel like it. But yes, let's go there, too.

― Arthur (Arthur), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 20:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Gareth hovering over Los Angeles

― stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 21:02 (twenty-two years ago)

(finally i did something productive today...)

― stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 21:04 (twenty-two years ago)

That's fucking hysterical. Die Sonne ist Gareth! Ach!

― Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 00:09 (twenty-two years ago)

I'd like to remind the residents of Los Angeles to not fire their guns into the air as this may in fact anger Gareth.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 00:16 (twenty-two years ago)

also, that's actually Century City... which makes it even cooler since Gareth is terrifying a rather posh and fashionable neighborhood.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 00:43 (twenty-two years ago)

also, the tall building on the right is the "Nakatomi Tower" from Die Hard.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 00:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Who says he is terrifying them?

― Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 01:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Sorry, scaring the bejesus out of them?

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 01:04 (twenty-two years ago)

Maybe they like it.

― Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 01:05 (twenty-two years ago)

But he's looking at them like they stole his egg mcmuffin!

― Nicole (Nicole), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 01:07 (twenty-two years ago)

maybe you're right. here are some images from the ground:

Photoshop totally makes me horny.

― Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 4 June 2003 22:04 (twenty-two years ago)

Great photos, Spencer! Aw, how nice to see the famous 76 (It is a 76, isn't it?)

― felicity (felicity), Wednesday, 4 June 2003 22:13 (twenty-two years ago)

Ally, that makes two of us. I'll get to work on your bear plug-in right away.

And yes Felicity, that's the 76 where your 'incident' took place.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 4 June 2003 23:01 (twenty-two years ago)

haha bear plug-in.

― teeny (teeny), Wednesday, 4 June 2003 23:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Spencer, that photo is more perfect than I could have ever imagined! Thank you!

― Arthur (Arthur), Thursday, 5 June 2003 00:09 (twenty-two years ago)

it's kind of freaking me out now.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 5 June 2003 00:21 (twenty-two years ago)

I expect to meet Burl Ives when I go to LA now, I say as if I'm ever actually going to go to the west coast ever again.

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 5 June 2003 00:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Actually, we were talking about how to lure everyone to an LA maxiFAP; I suggested we all chip in and buy you a plane ticket.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 5 June 2003 00:41 (twenty-two years ago)

STFU, you totally made that up just now!

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 5 June 2003 00:43 (twenty-two years ago)

nuh-uh, it's true! We were totally plotting.

here's another one with the West Hollywood-Adjacent Krew:

http://www.rotovibe.com/images/gareth/dudes.jpg

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 5 June 2003 00:48 (twenty-two years ago)

I just noticed it looks like Arthur, I mean Burl, is gonna hurl back there!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 5 June 2003 00:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Spencer looks like a Sheen there.

― That Girl (thatgirl), Thursday, 5 June 2003 00:55 (twenty-two years ago)

NED'S SHIRT IS TRANSFIXING ME!

You guys were totally NOT plotting, you big liar, but now I'm totally intrigued. I'm like the world's easiest person to convince, I really need to curb my mania, jesus.

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 5 June 2003 00:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Wow, I don't look so bad. I should pretend to hurl every time I get my picture taken. I prefer the Burl photo, though.

Ally, if you come out for the LA Maxifap I will grow an off-white goatee just for you.

― Barfur (Arthur), Thursday, 5 June 2003 01:13 (twenty-two years ago)

NED'S SHIRT IS TRANSFIXING ME!

Good, good. It worked as planned. Ask me nice and I'll say what it is, otherwise the mystery will remain. Come to LA, come to LA...

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 5 June 2003 01:16 (twenty-two years ago)

Why are we calling this a Maxifap, again? This sounds filthy, I like it. I'm in, do you reckon it'll cost less than $50? I think that's all I have right now.

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 5 June 2003 01:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Direct flight from a NYC airport to an LA one, $50, hrm. Check on priceline, I guess.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 5 June 2003 01:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh, like William Shatner's going to help me. Fuck him.

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 5 June 2003 01:38 (twenty-two years ago)

But as long as we have your attention, Ally, you really need to read this thread and check the link. Yup.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 5 June 2003 01:39 (twenty-two years ago)

ATA has $300 nonstop RT from LGA to LA (not sure if it's LAX though)

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Thursday, 5 June 2003 01:41 (twenty-two years ago)

Ned, frightening girls is not the way to make them come visit you.

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 5 June 2003 01:47 (twenty-two years ago)

I did not wish to frighten, but inform.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 5 June 2003 01:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, thanks for nothing, Dan Rather.

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 5 June 2003 01:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Courage.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 5 June 2003 03:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Why are we calling this a Maxifap, again?

Some people were using the term "MegaFAP", which I thought sounded too cool. The 'maxi-' prefix calls to mind things like reggae bands and hygeine products.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 5 June 2003 16:16 (twenty-two years ago)

The FAP with a fresh daisy scent.

― Nicole (Nicole), Thursday, 5 June 2003 16:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Please don't tempt me to wear my Farrah hair and call it a MaxiFAP with wings. You don't want to see the result of that.

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 5 June 2003 16:24 (twenty-two years ago)

MegaFAP suggests Megaweapon, therefore it's better.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 5 June 2003 16:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Spencer, that Burl Ives photoshop is one of the most slick and disturbing jobs I've ever seen.

That said, I do plan to fly down to LA one of these weekends this summer... late July at the earliest, mainly because it's U&K that I see my mom, my grandmother, and the new litter of Great Dane puppies at their house before they get sold off.

Would LOVE to finally do a proper LA FAP witchoo guise if at all possible!

― donut bitch (donut), Thursday, 5 June 2003 16:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Mega Maxi Shmega Shmaxi.

MackroFAP.

― donut bitch (donut), Thursday, 5 June 2003 16:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh you'd LIKE that, wouldn't you?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 5 June 2003 16:58 (twenty-two years ago)

jesus christ, you photograph well spencer

― chaki (chaki), Thursday, 5 June 2003 17:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Does this mean he looks like Gollum in person?

― Nicole (Nicole), Thursday, 5 June 2003 17:24 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, that's bloody disappointing.

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 5 June 2003 17:27 (twenty-two years ago)

no he looks great in person too! i dint mean it like that.

― chaki (chaki), Thursday, 5 June 2003 17:32 (twenty-two years ago)

Spencer in person is the Mang. And when you hear him talk, Ally will be enthralled.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 5 June 2003 17:34 (twenty-two years ago)

So he sounds like Richey Manic?

― Nicole (Nicole), Thursday, 5 June 2003 17:35 (twenty-two years ago)

In that he does not sound Welsh, no he does not. (Seriously, he has one of those 'are you an announcer?' voices that I'm alleged to have. The two of us on the air would be too cool for school. "More DNTEL, Mr. Chow?" "Yes, Mr. Raggett.")

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 5 June 2003 17:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Why me? Why is it always me? See also the thread about Toronto. Are you all obsessed with me? It's because of my spread in Playboy, isn't it?

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 5 June 2003 17:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh do go on.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 5 June 2003 18:03 (twenty-two years ago)

PERVERT!

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 5 June 2003 18:06 (twenty-two years ago)

three months pass...

I'm in LA. I'm meeting loads of interesting folks - I'm hesitant to say this but...

Who from ILM is in LA?

― Calzer (Calzer), Sunday, 7 September 2003 22:26 (twenty-one years ago)

three years pass...

Me.

― humansuit, Friday, 1 June 2007 01:15 (eighteen years ago)

who is?

Humansuit, the mystery man.

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 1 June 2007 01:50 (eighteen years ago)

Um, me.

Do you want to meet up at a strip club later? Bathroom stall? No?

― humansuit, Friday, 1 June 2007 01:50 (eighteen years ago)

No, coke.
