Blockheads is not even ice cream.
Salt & Straw in LA is decent but inferior to the original Portland locations.
Handel's = San Pedro = too far to give a crap
Scoops sucks dick.

Looks like you will be working with The House of Blues on Sunset too. Welcome to LA
Congrats and welcome. Portland is a crummy town, this is an upgrade.

LA Auto Show starts next week.
My condolences.
I loved Portland and would personally leap at an opportunity to go there for a job. But I'm 21, an English major and I suck.
You taking it?

I'm near the intersection of Santa Monica Blvd and N La Brea... I know that's probably a bit touristy due to the proximity of Hollywood Blvd but figured I could walk to work from there. Does anyone have comments on that area? It seems relatively close to Sunset Strip. Hop on the bus and be to Santa Monica beach within an hour. Not bad? I don't know much about the area honestly other than driving through it a couple of times...
Portland definitely a cool area.The neighborhood feel is awesome which I've heard is pretty rare in most cities. Plus it's relatively cheap and public transportation is amazing if you are in a good spot. The downsides are the weather (which isn't THAT bad, but I'm a Minnesotan) and the extreme number of people who have no amibition (this isn't just a Portlandia joke, it's real).

Nope.
If I moved to Portland I would probably live with my friend in her huge house.
I've been there a few times I understand the no ambition thing.
Cool. So we can still grab drinks in LA one day?

I think the no ambition thing just depends on what you want out of life. I know I could easily become complacent there which is why I love LA, its such a hustle and I know I'm always trying to get on top of the game in my own relative industry.

For the short term future, I'm out of town next week until the 30th and after that I'll be running the place until our ramen concept opens hopefully before the end of the year/January.
Definitely. I live a decent amount away so after the semester is perfect.
So I posted in this thread a few months ago when I was planning to come here, but now I've actually arrived and spent a couple weeks!
Any GAFers interested in going out for a drink/some food with a 21 year old Londoner? I'm staying in Hollywood but can easily get downtown on the Metro red line.

Afters! definitely Afters!
they make the milky bun, which is ice cream inside of a glazed donut, then they heat the donut back up so it's warm on the outside and ice cream on the inside!!
in terms of LA, I used to really like Cool Haus! when I lived / worked in Pasadena, the truck would come thru every week. Now they have an actual store in Pas and Culver too!
isnt there a real popular place in Chinatown too right by Chego?

I visited LA a couple of weeks ago and Scoops was about to open there. Maybe that's what you mean?
Scoops! Scopps Haagen Dazs! So pringles where yo culeh mustache at? Fuck the Knicks!!
yes, a google search confirmed the place is Scoops! I've heard it's a real good!
although a personal experience search tells me the place has been open as of months ago when I was in the area, not about to open a few weeks ago =P

I really wish someone can organize another la GAF meetup but I'm terrible at those things. I go out so much but it's usually to go swing dancing

We should go to a cheap Hockey game.
Whatever the committee decides, I would be in.
Scoops is very good ice cream
I'm going to help open a restaurant in Chinatown soon.

I saw a article about that. Hope it goes over great. I'm going to try and swoop by during the grand opening.
Nice. Wouldn't happen to be the structure under construction on Broadway would it?

I will have to look into it.
I drank at Surly Goat in West Hollywood last night, definitely cool place, got really packed by 11 PM too. Cheap enough drinks during happy hour.
Is there a reason the OP has no food/restaurant recommendations?
LA gaf. I have 5 moving boxes of gaming swag I'm giving away today in west hills(sfv). It goes out on my curb later today. Literally hundreds of dollars worth of stuff. Mostly activision stuff, but there a bunch of other stuff there feom other pubs. Tons of t shirts, CE contents, E3 swag and more. PM me for address.

I'm a black card holder. It's the best place.
If I lived closer I would consider it. They hyped up some great sounding events.
Yo, lets get an LA meetup thread or something. NYC GAF is doing it!
Haha I have too much of my own, contemplating what to do with it.
