hi guys, i have a conference in beautiful long beach convention center in january. having seen pretty much all it has to offer in 2008, is there anywhere i can stay that (1) isn't the convention center/queen mary bit of long beach (2) i can reach the convention center from in ~30m on public transport.

hello, rainy angelenos. how are you staying dry today?

a. and i tried to go hiking in fryman canyon, but the light drizzle turned into a downpour.

also: nbd, just enjoying the walnut & fig butter cookies i made.

Whoops, didn't say anything to caek there a few days ago! Let's see, location based on your description -- well my neck of the woods is sadly out, otherwise I'd happily host. Can ask a friend of mine from Pedro for suggestions -- anyone else?

you're reminding me that I keep wanting to go hiking on that trail but never do.

two orders of business:

one, i have a couple of shows coming up with my choral group, both free:

New thead, btw.
