I love to meet new people and its much easier to hook up when you are solo. When you are on your own you are more likely to go up to locals and enagage them in conversation. Dont go to LA and sit in your hotel room. Heres some great links from one of my favorite sights- LA Nightlife- http://www.virtualtourist.com/travel/North...les-TG-C-1.html LA Restauraunts- http://www.virtualtourist.com/travel/North...les-TG-C-1.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can imagine them overpricing drinks and gouging people at a nice hotel like that for $15.00 a pop, even though it was the most ludicrously expensive single drink I ever bought, but where the hell do they get off taking that extra friggin' quarter?!

Kelly the Dog Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 how much did you tip? 308140[/snapback] I didn't want to but i gave him 5.00. I had about ten different tabs during the night. The previous one was 42.00 at a different place for two vodka sodas and two cosmo's with Ketle One. But the hotel and the dinner was free so I didn't really care. It was me, two guys I had never met, and 12 women. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a ton of places around there within walking distance and great people watching. And you can even drink reasonably in a couple of them. Brentwood is going to be too many people with coolguyitis and women who never see the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, there's a cool pool bar there called "Gotham Hall." Not expensive...and a cool place to grab a beer after you're done cruising around the street.

sweet baboo Posted April 18, 2005 Author Share Posted April 18, 2005 actually, i just found out i'll be spending most of my time in the ucla harbor medical center, wherever that is, so i might hang out around there if there's anything good also downgrading my car rental from full size to compact so i don't have to deal with horrible gas mileage of driving from brentwood to wherever the harbor medical center is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
