Anyone been to LA?

I've been a couple of times, the stars homes tour is really good for giving you a sense of "old Hollywood" (Jimmy Stewart, Johnny Weismuller, Dean Martin, Elvis etc..), the modern stars have their homes behind 15ft stone walls, so you cant see fuck all.

For a night out, its a bit of an LA cliche but you still cant beat a crawl down Sunset strip, start at Miyagis chinese restaurant and work your way all the way down to the Rainbow Room, taking in the house of blues, the Redback Bar, The Whiskey Ago go, and The Viper Room on the way. As you walk down you'll go past loads of extremely expensive out doors restaurants, the first time that I went my mate was hammered and singing Manfield Town football songs as Meryl Streep was trying to eat her dinner (literally walked 2ft away from her).

For star spotting go to Rodeo Drive on a Sunday, on my honeymoon we saw Britney and Anthony Keidis of the Red Hot Chili Pepper shopping together ?!?!

Do a beach tour, Santa Monica is fantastic, amazing place.

Avoid downtown LA, nothing there but crack heads and people who want to kill you.

Try to get a hotel (if you dont already have one) in or near Hollywood, if you dont then you will need a taxi to get anywhere good.

Eat at the Farmers Market, great range of foods all frshly cooked, they have an amazing chili shop, which sells bottles of the worlds hottest chili sauces.

If you do theme parks, then Universal was the best, I say was because it has had a large firse since the last time I was there.

Enjoy, alot of people hate LA, but I thought it was great. A definate city of contrasts.

BTW a couple of days is nowhere near enough to do San Fran, but highlights have to be Alcatraz (amazing), Union Square, China Town, The Palace Of Fine Arts and the Golden Gate Bridge

Forgot to mention that the best hamburger in the world is the "double,double", available at the In 'n Out burger on Sunset. As featured in The Big Lebowski.

We went to White Castle in Detroit (in a realy scary neighbourhood), wasn't very nice, In 'n' Out is the best, Dairy Maid do a nice burger too.

i'm definitely going here when i get to LA this July .

i've never been, i'm going in july as part of a long trip around the states for 5 months.

I wont have a car...its going to be hell isn't it?

Although i'll be staying with a family friend in venice beach, thats nicer isn't it? and a bit more pedestrian friendly.

(no Bevely Hills Cop)

the family said they (or someone they know) is willing to drive us about a bit so we wont be stuck in venice beach which is cool.

as for underage drinking, i guess i need to sort myself out with fake i.d. a.s.a.p.

as i was a well behaved youngster so i have no knowledge of good places to get them.
silly question but, any younger fuks got reccomendations?

I know already to address them as sir and be polite etc.

but are they really going to taze me for having fake i.d.?

just googled some of the laws, they are pretty strict, basically i just need to be pretty careful.

They probably shot him for drinking Budweiser in Miller country.
