Default Anyone been to LA?

I'm heading off to LA for a few days at the end of January.

Has anyone got any recommendations (or horror stories)?

Well, it depends. What are you into?
There's all the touristy stuff which is over pretty quickly. One tip... make sure you have a car. This is essential.

Take a drive up Rodeo Drive, that was the daytime highlight for me.

The nightlife is SUPERB but make sure you bring a big fat wallet (Full of cash). It's expensive. We club hopped and spent a fortune $280 for a bottle of Jack Daniels). Sky Bar on sunset (I think) is AMAZING at night. You can see all over LA.

Theres a little town called La Canada (La Can-yah-da) just outside Hollywood. If you get a chance, pay a visit. It's beautiful and a refreshing change from the city smog.

Oh, and don't expect your iTrip to work in LA. There's so many radio stations it's impossible.

I'm into cinema

I don't know if I'll be able to drive over there, as I still don't have a full license

I've seen that in a lot of night clubs - full bottle of $drink, glasses etc., and ice.. You can easily drop a few hundred without realising it

Yup. Sad but true. And when your in HollyWood, you throw caution to wind.


Another little tip here is visit the website of the nightclub you want to visit about a week beforehand and see if they have a "Guestlist". Many clubs let you sign up for the guestlist for free. You still have to pay, but you have a higher chance of getting in if its busy.

The Chinese Theatre is great. Johnny D's feet are huge! If you're into cinema, daytime is the time for you.

Default I'm there every week

LA - Beautiful Los Angeles.

My company is headquartered there, downtown.

We're putting on a domain conference early next year there, which I hope lines up with your travel plans Blacknight.

DomainFest: an exhibition and conference for domainers

Wink Owning up with a smile and a pint...

Yeah, I do know damn well you're coming to Hollywood for the DomainFest, and you know the first pint is on me!

I'll own up because I'd not want to insult anyone's intelligence on this board, but what kind of a self-promoting dork would I be if I did not take advantage of the opportunity to mention DomainFest: an exhibition and conference for domainers in the process of responding to your thread?
