nope, but it could be! lol. It's downtown second thursday every month. A few blocks are set up with open galleries, and people have art on the street. Everyone walks around, checks out cool galleries and grabs drinks at all the bars in between the galleries.
Last months was awesome, just slipped my mind yesterday.
Yeah, I missed it a bunch cause I always planned for the first thursday haha.

With all the shit mounted on my walls I am shocked that nothing fell over.. That was a pretty strong bang here in Hollywood.

Shook pretty hard for a bit here in van nuys. Nothing broken but it woke me and my roommates up. Everyone else cool?

LACMA and the Getty if you like art.

Anything specific food wise? LA doesn't really have it's own type of food for the most part (tacos don't count).
As far as pretty stuff I'd recommend The Getty Villa, Griffith Observatory, Hammer Museum.

If you like Ramen go to Little Osaka and visit Tsujita Annex.

But LA's taco game is significantly ahead of most of the rest of the US.
Side note: on Venice and La Brea, there's a Taco Bell across the street from two really good taco trucks. I never could understand why the Taco Bell stayed in business there. Leo's Taco Truck (also has other locations) has a massive al pastor spit on weekends, or at least they used to.
Other food to recommend: Chego, Kogi, probably Roy Choi's other ventures too. I was eventually converted to chili-on-burgers-or-hot-dogs (Tommy's, Oki Dog, etc). And gaf's own Zyzyxxz runs Sticky Rice at Grand Central Market downtown.
For sushi, I'm sure there are a few great sushi places in LA but I think if you go to some random joint you're going to get pretty average sushi.
I'm always gonna recommend seeing improv comedy at UCB and/or IO West. Check their schedules online to see if there's anything you really want to see, bear in mind that rosters/casts change so unless they're in the name of the show, don't expect any given performer will be there, and worst case, you can sign up for waiting lists at UCB for sold-out shows, but ... you'd have to be a pretty devoted comedy nerd to do that.
As far as shopping goes, hit up Amoeba Records in Hollywood and The Last Bookstore in downtown LA, esp the upstairs bargain area. But both are places to browse and let serendipity work, more than places to find a specific thing you're looking for.

I went to LA for the Oscars and while I was there, won a ticket an event in Beverly Hills.
I want to give this ticket to someone on GAF because I'm definitely not flying out to LA in June to go to it.
The ticket is for Le Bal des Princesses in June.
Let me know if you want it. It looks like it should be a good time. Completely free

hey hey, coming over from Finland this summer for EVO and during this i'll be doing a small roadtrip along the west coast.
any tips for car rental in LA? Any company clearly cheaper than others? would need space for two people.
In other location tips, any arcades/barcades left?
I'll bug you guys for gaf-meet-beers when i have dates set!

There's an arcade here called "Family Arcade" that I believe was recommended to me in this thread. Went with my girlfriend a few times, and we really like it there. They have a great variety, and it's not too busy.

Is Pins and Needles still open? I've never been but I heard it was great. Like some underground pinball arcade that's only open at night.

Check out Redondo Beach Pier. They have a great fish market and would probably have what you are looking for. As a bonus their is a galley that will cook up the sea food you bought on the pier.
Thanks!
