I'm coming to Los Angeles from June 4th -12th. I know a lot of you perverts are out that way. If you have any 'must see/do' things (porn and non-porn alike), fire away. I will need a decent gym, I'm a shopaholic, and I love to eat (especially sushi). Keep those things in mind. Thank you for your time....

Take me with you.

no fuckin' way

Please, business class!

Please take him with you. Then leave him with some homeless crackwhores under an overpass.

Can you imagine the fucking plane ride?

Maybe we'll get lucky and he'll be arrested by the FBI for trying to enemize the stewardesses.

sounds like the premise of a good buddy movie...Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis style

Who's who? Seriously, L.A. niggaz. Hit me back with some info....

please...i think you can figure that out heheh

how's about a layover in cleveland, patty?

Love to! But sadly I'm routed through Chi-town. We're thinkin' of catching a Browns game, though, in the fall.

too bad

Yeah, i think so , too. I've been thinkin' on that Slim Jim Stew. So ANYWAY, is there a single poster out there from L to the A that would like to impart? Nobody?

I can tell you where a couple of swing parties are.

It might help if you say where you'll be.
This site has some good food info:

What can you get for $2,000 in LA?

A guy named Hector to dump your sorry ass in the LaBrea Tar Pits?

I'd head to the petting zoo next door to JM Productions. I hear it's very nice, and Malice said he sometimes sees cats raping each other in the parking lot. You might even see Nicole Brazzle selling hot dogs out on the street.

One half-serious post on this whole fuckin' thread.Thanks, 'blaster. Come on, y'all! Wait, Nicole Brazzle has a hot dog stand?

Go to porn star karaoke at Sardo's. Go to Jerry's famous deli to see porn stars, and buy some coke if you want to hang out with porn starts.

If you like the ocean and it's a nice day then:

For shopping go to Venice Beach. Between the boardwalk and the pier, you'll see every flavor of character California has to offer and find some fun shops to peruse.

While you're on PCH, drive up to Neptune's Net north of Malibu for lunch. Fresh seafood every day and a great view of the ocean. Stop by Zuma and Westward beaches where they filmed all the Baywatch shows.

For the evening head down to the Santa Monica pier and the clubs on Colorado & Santa Monica Blvd. There's a great Irish Pub on SM blvd but I forget the name.

Thanks blahhhh and BH. I could give two shits about 'stars' mostly, but I like Karaoke.I had a fucking awesome lunch at a place on the beach in Malibu last time I was there. Gary Busey was smoking a cigar and staring at me like he was going to slit my throat. Anybody else got a suggestion?A nice sushi joint? A decent club to hit? Keep 'em coming...

If you like amusement parks then:

For pure fantasy, nothing beats Disnyland in Anaheim.

For Nostalgia and wild rides go to Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park.

For the most world class roller coasters in a single park, go to Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia.

For the Hollywood flair try Universal Studios (with the added bonus of shopping at the Universal City Walk).

If it is culture you are in search of, then:

The Aquarium of the Pacific and the Queen Mary Museum in Long Beach are a fun day.

The Los Angeles Museum of Science and History in Downtown is really cool to visit.

The Getty Museum in West LA is definitely worth while.

The LA Arboretum in Arcadia is beautiful.

And a concert (any concert) at the Hollywood Bowl is a must do!

And even though it's passe', Hollywood Blvd has some great shopping and it looks really good since they completed all of the restoration projects.

this is all good stuff! The disney thing is funny , because exactly a decade ago this past weekend, my ex and her sister dropped me off in Fullerton on their way to Walt's so I could get tattooed by this gent:
http://www.ericmaaskesclassictattoo.com/artists.html
Eric has since passed, but I phoned the shop and Frank Ball is gonna do a piece on me when I'm down there.

Good boogie boarding in Laguna Beach if you're down that way.

i just don't know yet. now that i've lived here for 3 yrs, it's hard to backtrack and think. avoid universal city and all those fat american tourist traps you can see anywhere usa.

best sight seeing for hot chicks and gelatto is cafe primo. it's in the posh, trendy strip near the sunset strip called sunset plaza. it's indoor/outdoor and has the best coffee and gelatto ever. and the chicks are amazing.

where are u staying? that will help a lot.

oh, for healthy mexican fast food on the cheap, you must go to a poquito mas. amazing. and there's one nearly across from cafe primo.

hit up h+m in the beverly center for cheap mens' clothes. hit up any of the buffalo exchanges for stylish used clothes.

be verrrry l.a. and hit up a pink berry. 50 calorie yogurt with fresh fruit toppings. see all the l.a. douches and their dogs abound. despite the douche factor, it's very tasty.

hit up thai restaurants in thai town- that's hollywood blvd way east of all the walk of stars, etc.

amazing mens' clothes shopping on la brea between melrose and 3rd. many cool indie/skate brands and cool wall murals as you walk by. there's a decent kosher pizza place there with no name on it, and a hassidic man took my order and yelled at me when i took too long. weird. jewish guys are usually hot for me. liberation yoga has cheap yoga classes, esp their sunday night at 7pm outdoor yoga.

walk down fairfax. cool skate shops/record shops and home to Canters. fuck jerry's deli. this place kicks ass. 24/7 jewish denny's, basically with great saurkraut.

drink across the street at the dime. great pizza and every international beer ever next door at dominico's or something with a d and also great food at that sci-fi looking cafe with the green day-glo furniture.

real men don't shop melrose avenue, but it's a nice walk if you wanna see hot chicks. stop by platinumx motorsports to see where tmfr gets them spinners and dubs. holla!

sushi...pretty much anywhere that doesn't look abyssmal is good. if you want hip atmosphere and pricey drinks, do katsuya or geisha house on hollywood blvd.

hollywood blvd is a mess. you will get an std just walking down the street. the l ron hubbard santa village at christmas is comedy gold, however. great stripper stores. you're more likely to spot porn stars shopping for scene clothes at bizzy b or playmates than psk.

the paps (paparazzi) stalk robertson. it's the street between w hollywood and bev hills where you always see paris, lindsey, and that crazy phoebe price lady shopping in kitson. food at the ivy is overrated, and you're more likely for a celeb sighting eating sensibly priced organic chicken at the newsroom across the street. bonus pts for the skinny, homeless guy in the drum major suit on roller skates.

head way east and visit areas like los feliz (pronounced las feel-iz...incorrect, i know) and silverlake for that emo hipster skinny pant scene. head further east and walk around the lake at echo park. hipsters moving in/gentrification has made it safe now, but there are still some chulos around. get your sharpees.

Thanks so far, y'all. What about getting around? I don't drive.The last time I was with somebody who could. Am I in for a nightmare?

No kidding. As a native New Yorker, currently without a valid license and not interested enough to stand in line again with the 16 year olds, I assure you that you are F.U.C.K.E.D.

I'd suggest staying Downtown, unless you want to hire a limo, take cabs or...ride the bus.

I'm a cab junkie, but I recall L.A. not being so shit-hot in that department. Say what you want about NY, but their public transportation system is pretty fucking good for a city that size. Even if I get dumped for the day in a certain part of the city i could probably handle it. We'll see. I'm bringing a decent amount of loot so maybe I'll convince Jen to rent a car for the week. Is L.A. still real creepy after dark? We were staying near the USC campus last time and it was kinda weird after like 11 pm. I never felt like moving around much after that. You know how NY is real chill and there's tons of people on the streets at night? L.A. was kind of the opposite...

There's a guy named "Bob" who posts at ADT. He lives in LA and I read where he offers to pick up and drive around posters who visit there quite frequently. Maybe you should post over there and ask for a lift?

You might want to change your avatar to something more in line with the prevailing sentiment over there:

Ok. The 'hood I'm gonna be in (for starters at least) is echo park. Any clue? And Can I hire a driving service as opposed to cabs? They were about 1/3 the price of taxis in NY and the drivers actually fucking knew where they were going....

Isn't Echo Park very mexican and full of gangs, not sure I met someoneone on a forum and thats what she said. I;ve never been to Cali, so I dont know.
And yes the MTA inNYC rocks, you can get anywhere for 2.00

All I know of "Echo Park" is that Partridge Family babe Susan Dey was a MILF stripper ...

I'm not super-paranoid anyways. The only bad thing that happened last time is that my gf's sister cut off a blue Impala and the black guy (dressed all in blue) pulled up beside me and started flashing gang signals. He seemed to be mouthing the words "motherfucker" as well. I didn't say shit to either gal because they would have panicked. Good times...

i suppose check out the diy gallery, the echo park film center, and bars like spaceland or the red lion. Or try this link for echo park/silverlake. Or head 2 miles west to the 4100 bar in silverlake. 4100 is the thing over there.

Echo Park is fine. It used to be pretty gangsta in the 80s.(the movie Colors was set there)
Now it's much more gentrified and has trendy boutiques and art spaces. Good eats around there. Brite Spot, Millies, Netty's, Siete Mares, Masa, etc.

It's hotter here in Ottawa. I was real worried about the dewpoint. Thanks...

The best thing about L.A. is the usually PERFECT dewpoint.
