Egads. I'm in Los Angeles.

[WilliamPitt]

Here for a truthout manager's meeting. The last time I was here, in 1996, the sky was pink. Today it's just nice and cloudy...and warm. :)

Hello LA DUers!! :hi:

[HEyHEY]

1. Egad indeed

Enjoy the City of Angels.

[DoctorBombay]

2. Hello!

And it is not warm here! It is only 63 here in Redondo Beach. At least it's not raining. Yesterday was grey and cruddy.

Welcome to LA! :toast:

[jonnyblitz]

7. LOL! that is funny you think 63 is cold!!

I used to live in downtown Long Beach when I was in the navy and stationed there in the late 80's. I know live in CT where 63 degrees would be considered a freakin heatwave right now!

3. Please go to the SAG awards tonight...

and get me Johnny Depp's autograph! :7

Have fun in LA, Will. :hi:

[AlFrankenFan]

5. Howdy!

Have fun! The few times I've actually been up to Los Angeles (I live in Orange County) it has been very plesant. Hopefully it isn't raining up there, cause it was down here earlier.

6. We Angelenos are NOT pleased with this weather

It's cold and it's damp.
That's why the lady is a tramp.

[DBoon]

12. Well I like it

My garden looks nicer after a rain, all the dirt and grime is washed off all the buildings, so everything looks clean and bright AND unlike other parts of the world, the weather will be warm and sunny once the rain stops.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

16. I loves it like a long lost dog.

[jonnyblitz]

8. the sky used to be all sorts of funky colors when I lived there

especially at sunset because of the SMOG. this was late 80's early 90's...

[NewYorkerfromMass]

Hope you enjoy your visit !

[Melsky]

13. I love LA after a rain

[ronnykmarshall]

26. The view is so beautiful after the rain.

Too bad it doesn't look like that all the time.

[proud patriot]

14. Oh sure come all the way out to California

I skip the Bay Area ;-)

It's rainning here and it's cold in the 50s brrrrrrrrr !

:hi:

[MaineDem]

15. How's life on the other coast?

Are you going to be in Maine next weekend? I read that somewhere.

[Lefty48197]

17. Stay off of I-91

even at midnight there's traffic jams. Do you own a helicopter?

[nini]

18. Hi Will

:hi:


if you see a psycho woman banging her head on the steering wheel on the 405 north tomorrow morning in a black maxima.. that'll be me :-)

Hopefully, you won't have to fight the traffic while you're here.

[VelmaD]

19. Oh oh oh...

would you get me a postcard of the La Brea Tar Pit? :-)

I've been to LA three times and not once were the people I went with willing to take a side trip to the Tar Pit. x(

Seriously though, have fun. Enjoy the warm. :-)

[lazarus]

20. coming down to San Diego?

Surf's up!

[progressivebydesign]

21. Remember Woody Allen in L.A. in Annie Hall?? N/T

[Snow]

22. Welcome, Will.....

I like the showers - but I just recently moved back here, afater leaving in 1959. Place has changed some since then. In the 50's when we'd go to downtown LA (I lived in Van Nuys) our eyes would water and burn from the smog. Now I live in Altadena, on the side of a mountain. I didn't know LA had mountains! If you want a pretty country-type drive, go north on the coast highway from Santa Monica till you pick Mulholland Highway, than follow that to Topanga Canyon Rd. Take a right, stop at the view place at the top for a look at the valley, then down through the canyon, a funky place indeed. You come out back on the coast highway north of Santa Monica....so you really didn't go anywhere, I guess - but it's pretty. Also, there's Joshua Tree, an amazing place. It's like, 2-3 hour drive eastward - and very, very beautiful.

23. WP call home!!!!

You little shit! On second thought don't call...I'm goin' to bed! :hi:

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

24. Have dinner at Four Oaks

2181 N. Beverly Glen Boulevard, if you have enough money to squander. Great unfussy French food, excellent wines, wonderful atmosphere...I had dinner with George Harrison there! (well, he was in the same room) Mmmm, Four Oaks... :D

[K8-EEE]

29. Or If You Want To Go Cheaper -- Authentic Cafe

Beverly & Fairfax....good and cheap and fun people watching.

Four Oaks has 2 ghosts....one without a head. According to legend, I've never seen them...pricey but nice!

[DBoon]

31. I'd vote for Authentic Cafe as well

Very nice place, tho parking is a female dog!

[ronnykmarshall]

25. Hey Will!

Welcome to the city of angels!

[LWolf]

27. Hello right back!

I'm 40 or 50 miles to your north.

:hi:

[K8-EEE]

28. Sorry For The Dreary Weather

Bad timing!! But welcome all the same.
