Tommy's World Famous Hamburgers on rampart.


I love this place and it always hits the spot.


Many would agree

Chili Cheese

Fuck that looks good. I live like 4 minutes walking distance from one (is it even a chain?), but I can't eat there because of food allergy's.

i think it's a chain but the one on rampart is the original first one, Little shack is still in use.

 

[Vox-Pop]

This heat. :'(

 

[killertofu]

Anyone going?

 

[Typographenia]

No joke. Walking down Figueroa today was awful.

Anyone going?

Oh snap, MBV. I need to see if I can!

 

[Quadrophenic]

Anyone going?

Most likely...yes

 

[BuggyDClown]

Anyone ever go to Alibi room? Looks awesome.

 

[Linkhero1]

Going to LA in a few weeks. I'm excited!!!

 

[Illithid Dude]

Anyone going to E3?

 

[beat]

Almost definitely.

 

[Hazaro]

If someone will get me in.

Although I'm honestly more excited to go to PAX's for the indie stuff, I'd like to see the spectacle before it dies down again (plus console reveals!)

 

[Fatal Futanari]

Finally home from university after being in Texas for four years. Feels great to be back! Somebody sneak me into E3! lol

Any cool hangouts or conferences for tech geeks?

 

[TheKaeptain]

Anyone going to E3?

Is this an invite?

 

[Rorschach]

If you were taking someone to LA for a weekend, where would you stay and what would you do? If you didn't have a place there, that is.

Interests? You can do basically anything.

I'd check events that appeal to that person.

 

[Argyle]

Anyone going to E3?

I will be there and I don't even live in Los Angeles anymore!

 

[Verano]

Is this an invite?

I hope so. get me in this bitch, LA-GAF. I'll worship you as a god.

 

[Zyzyxxz]

Oh god it's actually happening... I'm nervous now. Gotta prepare 800 tacos, and I'm familiar with many of those who are going to be there and they have some serious tacos. I just hope I don't make a fool out of myself.

I'm representing The Spirit House Bar

Will work for free too.

You'll do great man.

I want to try Mexikosher.
Seriously you'll do great.

 

[Cousteau]

Will be going out to LA soon, where can a fella find some cute latina girls for fun?

 

[beat]

Arrested Development fans: the staircar is touring LA for the next few days. The Grove today, and I'm told Hollywood and Highland tomorrow and Santa Monica on Sunday. The banana stand should be up this coming Tuesday.

Not LA, or California, gotta go to Texas, specifically Houston.

 

[timetokill]

Wait, what? Are you saying somehow that LA has no latinas, or that they're all ugly here?

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Anyone going to E3?

I'm invited to the EA Presser.

Other than that:

If someone will get me in.

I completely blew it on registration. Stuff came in too late.

it's vox, he has uh, exquisite tastes.

me too.

 

[StopMakingSense]

Anybody here catch the totally obvious shot of Upper Grand on Bunker Hill in Star Trek? Was so fucking funny to me and my wife.

I lol'd in real life when I saw the Natural History Museum on Parenthood.

 

[ClassyPenguin]

All the times that Dexter films at the Port of LA is always obvious. Also, any time the Vincent Thomas bridge appears.

 

[Illithid Dude]

The worst is car commercials. I can always tell not only when a car commercial is shot in DTLA, but what street it is on. Fig. seems to be very popular.

 

[Booshka]

Palos Verdes is Malibu and Laguna in most TV Shows and Movies as well.

We should at least plan an LA-GAF meet.

Also, just saying, E3 tickets seem pretty easy to come buy on Craigslist.

Half price! Meaning only $500 instead of $1k!

Buy me one if it is that easy.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

You got an extra $300-$400 laying around?

Those are the cheapest I can find. Besides the $1 + SDCC Badge one.

 

[ClassyPenguin]

No. I'm broke.

 

[StopMakingSense]

So glad I won't be getting any more calls from Wendy Gruell.

I found a couple for $150 each.

 

[Hazaro]

I'd bite for $150. How legit though?

 

[Illithid Dude]

The guy said he would accompany you to the registration area to buy them, which seems pretty legit to me. He also said he had passes to some of the conferences.

I posted this in MetalGAF, and I'm not LA-GAF, but if you guys like metal at all, this might be of interest to you. Just thought I'd let ya know.

Hydra Head Records LA HQ Blowout-Yard Sale-Goodbye Party (This is (the frontman of Isis) Aaron Turner's label.)

The time has come for Hydra Head to shut down our LA HQ. It's been a long time coming, but that doesn't make the process any less of a heart breaker. In order to ease our pain a bit, we're opening our doors to the public for the first and last time on Saturday May 25th so we celebrate our disintegration with a Hydra Head Super-Power-Yard-Sale™. James O'Mara and Aaron Turner will be on hand to help serve you, and if you're nice, give you treats (sadly Sugar Bear aka Andrew Cox will be spending his last official paycheck in Mexico and won't be able to join us). We'll have tables set up with goodies in the office for your perusal, and snacks and refreshments available at random intervals. There will be some give away surprises to random customers and a free test pressing for the first five arrivals.

Some of what we'll have on had that day will include (but is not limited to) the following: $1 CDs, $5 t-shirts, office furniture (anyone need a desk? - we'll be giving away some of our office stuff as well), discounted copies of recent vinyl titles, Hydra Head Super-Rarities™ (original pressings of Cave In "Beyond Hypothermia" LP, Converge/Agoraphobic Nosebleed LP, Discordance Axis "Inalienable Dreamless" LP, Cave In "Jupiter" LP, Botch "We Are the Romans" 2xLP, Neurosis "Sovereign" LP, Pelican "The Fire in Our Throats..." 2xLP, etc), AND some other related treasures (ISIS test pressings and box sets, screen printed tour posters, random black metal t-shirts, and whatever other gems we can dig up). Our aim is to get rid of as much as is possible in our office, so if you see something you like hanging on a wall or sitting on a desk make us an offer and see what happens!

Here are the specifics:

Hydra Head Power-Blow-Out-Yard-Sale-Extravaganza™
Saturday, May 25th, Noon - 7 pm
4222 Santa Monica Blvd #104
Los Angeles, CA 90029

Thanks to everyone who made our Los Angeles dreams come true. We'll miss you! Come on by to say bye, and take some treasures home - from our horde to yours!

xoxo,
Team Hydra
(Aaron, James, Andrew)

I saw that on their facebook page. I might be able to make it up there.

Now I'm here trying to get into E3.

It seems like you get a badge with someone else's name on it? Do they ever check your ID or what?

I've gone to E3 the past two years, and never once did they check my ID. I was even underage the first year (16), and got in fine.

 

[Hazaro]

The $150 person is acting legitimate and can type correctly, so if anyone (HP) wants to jump on that, might be a good idea.

 

[Typographenia]

Family arcade on vermont. Pretty cool place.

Just now got around to visiting this place today with my girlfriend, and we had a great time! Thanks for the suggestion, Henry Gale. : )

Gonna try out the Japan Arcade next time.
