Adam, if you're still looking for a house, a pretty nice one popped up on LA.Curbed.com (look for baby blue bungalow). Just north of York near Ave 49.

Can anyone here show me an out of town day/overnight trip that is outside of all of the obvious Joshua Tree/San Diego/Santa Barbara - type places? Would prefer somewhere chill as I have been working flat out these last few months. We used to go up to Idyllwild and loved it up there, looking for something new. Camping is not really our thing but out of the way places are fine.

downtown Artwalk devolving into a cops vs Occupy L.A. near-riot right now at 5th and Spring, with Occupy deciding to step in after past Artwalks where people were busted for writing on the sidewalks in chalk. Which is stupid but this feels like an RIP artwalk event.

they're just working out
btw I was driving on like the 10W around like 4:45, and traffic on the 10E was stopped because 3 cup cars had blocked traffic. about 30 ft in front of the cop cars was an unmarked white van that was stopped. The cop cars had their doors open and like 5-6 cops were standing behind the doors like a barricade, all of them w/ their gun drawn, it was a p crazy thing for me to pass, I've seen some police shit but like, never a line of cops w/ guns out

my decidedly less exciting going-out-in-LA report tonight: there was an electrical outage near the crazy five-way intersection at sunset/hollywood/hillhurst/virgil earlier. i was gonna meet up with friends at el chavo but the power was out and they were only serving beer and shots because the freezer wasn't working (so no ice). power's back on now but the intersection's traffic lights are still just blinking red so it's a bit of a free-for-all around there atm

if you're anywhere near sherman oaks, freakbeat records is having a sale.
Hey, we're nine years old! It's hard to believe and we couldn't have done it without the support of all our great customers. As is tradition, we'll be having a huge anniversary sale beginning this Thursday, July 12th at 11am, and ending on Monday, July 16th at 8pm. Everything in the store, new and used, will be 20% to 50% off. Additionally, we will have a roomful of LPs, CDs and DVDs for just a quarter each. We hope to see you all here. Thanks again for all your support!

My current favorite NELA bar is the bar at Colombo's in Eagle Rock. Hardly anyone there under 50 besides me. Definitely my kind of place.

I like the Black Boar in Eagle Rock a lot. The DJ there every other Saturday is one of the best in town.

i have never gone drinking in eagle rock but i went to the oinkster and all-star lanes last weekend!
― moesha my reflection (donna rouge), Monday, 23 July 2012 20:33 (eleven years ago) link
Not a fan of the Black Boar. It was much nicer (and far, far quieter) when it was The Chalet. Oinkster also used to be much better before they put the flatscreens in. All-Star Lanes is great though.

La Cuevita (formerly the Little Cave) has a pretty decent mezcal selection and their happy hour is 7-10 7 days a week. The Hermosillo club is pretty decent (beer & wine only).
― Jean-Luc Poncey (lpz), Wednesday, 25 July 2012 18:18 (eleven years ago) link
Haha, my friend and I stood staring through the open window of Hermosillo for a few minutes debating whether to go in, the bartender staring hopelessly back at us from an empty room (it may have been "opening night" after the redesign), before deciding against it and walking off. I'm sure it's lovely though.
