[Zyzyxxz]

Well whenever you guys decide let me know so I'm ready!

 

[Hazaro]

let's do it. how does a week from tonight sound, 10/17?

I should be free. What time?

I want to go but I am going to be getting a research paper put together that week.

Oh shit, I can't go that night, I'm seeing Neil Young at the Hollywood Bowl.

To make this easier I can free myself for almost any evening.

Anyone else flexible? Don't want to leave out 2 if we can.

I am also pretty flexible. If it's Thursday night I may bring a couple more people...

 

[thirty]

i'm flexible too

 

[kevo_huevo]

Ah sorry to hear that, I'm often try to make sure they get seasoned well (so you drink more). I suppose I was a bit heavy handed with that batch.

no worries. it worked, i had to go to the bar twice while our group of 4 was eating the fries and lotus chips lol

it's been a few months since we went there, the food was excellent, but it seemed the bartenders couldnt handle the traffic/crowd and whoever was in charge of like wristbands/greeting guests that night was a total space cadet. seems like things have improved though.

even if you weren't on gaf, zyzyxxz, i would still be raving about the food. my compliments to the chef!

Yeah we've been thru a few bartender/staff since opening but we're getting into our groove now. Just hoping we can build up a good local customer base over time.

 

[thirty]

how about weds the 24th or thurs the 25th?

 

[Zyzyxxz]

Wednesdays are karaoke nights.

 

[Nekobo]

I went back to Spirit House two weeks ago...and yeah, the curry fries are great. The tacos are awesome, too. Ugh, now I wanna go back to get my grub on lol.

 

[Argyle]

Wednesdays are karaoke nights.

Haha, that could be fun too

 

[StopMakingSense]

Man Lincoln Heights got straight up FUCKED by the rating a little while ago. Never seen rain like that in LA before. Mission Rd. was completely flooded, curb to curb.

 

[Clipjoint]

Lincoln Heights didn't seem too bad to me, but I just got off the 110 on Fig so I didn't see much.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Much needed rain came in today. Too bad it gonna go back to being hot

 

[StopMakingSense]

Lincoln Heights didn't seem too bad to me, but I just got off the 110 on Fig so I didn't see much.

Around 4:00 it got crazy. Mission road was completely underwater, curb to curb. Full of debris. Craziest rain I had ever driven through.

Bump for a new week. We gonna do this this week or next? I heard 24th-25th as a possibility as well, what's better for you guys?

 

[Hazaro]

I'm not around next week so Wed/Thrus/Fri works for me unless I work late on Th/F.

 

[thirty]

this week may not be enough notice for a good turnout. I can do the 24th or another weds or thurs. Halloween is the following, I don't know. I am actually going to Granada in Alhambra for some salsa dancing this Saturday and depending on how early I get out of the house may try Spirit House.

 

[dyls]

Was there a LA-Gaf meetup planned for this weekend? I thought so, but I can't find it now.

I'd be down for Spirit Week next Wednesday. I'll be in Pasadena anyway.

 

[Argyle]

I'm totally in as long as it is this week or next. After that I won't really be around, so this is it for me

What happened to all the people who said they were coming this week but then couldn't make it? Not too many of them have said they are free next week...

 

[thirty]

a few said this week was bad so the 24/25 was offered. weds the 24th is perfect.

 

[Hazaro]

NP, have fun!

 

[Argyle]

Ugh, after saying I was mostly free any night, I discovered I have something to do on the 24th

25th works for me but if most people are free on the 24th then I'll just drop by on my own when I can...

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

I'm not here for Halloween (in Boston), so I vote next week.

 

[Zyzyxxz]

Well if you guys are coming down on the 24th for karaoke then I should let you know that if you sing once you get happy hour pricing for one drink, if you sing twice happy hour pricing all night for you.

That's a good deal.

Does anyone see a super bright flashing light near Orion?

Like about 4 "orions" away, if you take the area of him and move him away from the north star. Its in line with his belt.

Its flashing very fast, like blue, red, orange, pink. And flickering. Its weird..? I'm @ Labrea and the 10 freeway.

 

[Hazaro]

I see a very bright light (not flickering) about 3 belt stars from the belt, nearly inline with it.
Don't think I've seen it before. Also quite amazing how much more you can make out of the night sky if you stare at it for 5 minutes.

This thing was definitely flickering, and it was stationary..right? So fucking weird. Lets see if we see it tonight. I've never seen it. I just thought it was a plane, due to the flickering. But it wasn't moving.. yet had that flicker happening as if it was, when you see a plane fly. Where are u in LA?

I stopped, and looked at all the stars that were that bright... no flickering.. Orion, no flickering.. saw a few planes.. but they had timed flickering...

Wish my phone was working, coulda at least recorded it... It seemed like a fucking lightshow.

interesting that we both never saw that star/light though..


was such a lush night.

I saw a shooting star yesterday around 6am..

 

[Xal-Shoota]

I'm moving back to Los Angeles (permanently, hopefully) in about two weeks!
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

I got steady freelance work that I can do remotely, and I think I have a super high chance of landing a certain job once I'm there on top of that. LATER OHIO!

Please tell me if you know of any rooms/apartments for rent in Santa Monica/Culver/Mar Vista area for 700-900 a month. All I need is decent internet, a room, hot water, and hopefully washer/dryer/dishwasher. Let me know if places to look aside from craigslist/padmapper too if you have any tips!

Can't wait to come back!

If you care about internet check who serves what area first. I wouldn't want to be stuck with Time Warner.

 

[Xal-Shoota]

I've been stuck with them my whole life. What do you guys recommend? I hear Comcast gets a bad rap too, and AT&T. I feel like there is no such thing as a good ISP at this point :|

 

[PG2G]

I actually don't have any problems with Time Warner. Besides, its the only way to watch the Lakers for now

 

[CFMOORE!]

time warner for internet has always been amazing for me. and that is going on 7+ years.

 

[beat]

I have Time Warner. I live in Palms, and the tech who installed my stuff said this used to be a Comcast neighborhood. The service has been pretty good. A small number (under 10) of internet outages ranging between 30 min to a few hours over the last seven months. Otherwise, speed and connectivity has been fine.

 

[freshair]

If you're in Mar Vista you might be able to get Verizon Fios

 

[timetokill]

Time Warner is the only service that doesn't have third-world country quality internet in my area. AT&T and Verizon suck at it. I wish I could get FiOS.

Short of the few areas that have FIOS, what is "good internet" in LA? Bets I've had access to has been TW. (fuuuuuck AT&T)

 

[Zyzyxxz]

I'm actually fairly happy with Charter, I pay $40 a month and get close to 3 megabytes/sec download speed. Not megabits, megabytes.

 

[Xal-Shoota]

I would just be ok, not exactly happy, with more TW. If Verizon FiOS was in my area though, I might die happy and extremely young.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Man trying to find a job sucks.

 

[StopMakingSense]

And my power is out. Yay. (Lincoln Heights)

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

My power's been out every morning for the past few days.

 

[POWERSPHERE]

Im looking to rent a place in LA early next year with my GF for about $1300 a month. We want our own place, and i'm not adverse to living in the outer suburbs, as you have to drive everywhere anyway. Any recommendations? Maybe on the Silverlake side of LA, as that's where most of my interests will be around.

 

[Iceman]

So, no meetup this weekend?

 

[Sobriquet]

And my power is out. Yay. (Lincoln Heights)

Whoa, really? We had a brownout.



edit: pic put in quotes due to excessive large hugeness

 

[Iceman]

We must have had a brown/black out in east LA (where I work) as well.. our computers were off this morning. We were fine in Pasadena though.

 

[StopMakingSense]

Whoa, really? We had a brownout.

Yeah, was out for 5 hours, starting at 9. Was a pain in the ass. I'm on Mission Rd. just north of where Broadway ends.

 

[Argyle]

All right guys, are we doing Spirit House this week or what? I may not be able to make it Wednesday until late, if that day works the best for everyone. How late are people planning to stay out?

Holler if you're planning to go! thirty, dyls, anyone else?
