(basically it was super cheap to rent one with my lol corporate discount and it meant i didn't have to inconvenience friends who would otherwise pick me up)
happy to help. i've lived in studio city and north hollywood for the past 3-ish years.

re: that bar - the chimneysweep lounge on woodman
The Chimneysweep in Sherman Oaks, which was opened in 1960, isn't themed, but like the Firefox, it has gold-veined mirrors and lots of wood paneling. It also has ghosts, says bartender Millie Bunch, who has been serving up sweetness and double whiskeys to an adoring crowd for 20 years.
"They sit in the corner," Bunch told the Enabler over an amply poured glass of Glenlivet. "They have uniforms on. I don't know what war they were in, but they want to be here."

i'll have some time to kill tomorrow by the americana/glendale galleria. what's a good place for a cheap lunch or coffee? (i know about the in-n-out.)
― sriracha bishop (get bent), Sunday, 14 October 2012 01:52 (eleven years ago) link
Best coffee in Glendale is at the newly opened C+ (and it's 24hours too!): http://www.yelp.com/biz/c-plus-glendale

i ended up grabbing a pretty decent and surprisingly inexpensive caprese panini at deluca's in the americana. there's a korean snack bar there too; maybe i'll try it out next time.
― sriracha bishop (get bent), Monday, 15 October 2012 00:41 (eleven years ago) link
there's a korean snack bar there too;
Ahn-Joo. It's good, but they charge about a buck or two more than you feel like they should be charging. Price of convenience.

For those of us scared away by psych metal...
― nickn, Thursday, 18 October 2012 08:00 (eleven years ago) link
It's not psych metal! It's psych rock! Heavy psych, but the only remotely scary band on that lineup is Enslaved, and they are pretty proggy.
― Hamster of Legend (J3ff T.), Thursday, 18 October 2012 16:18 (eleven years ago) link
Stoners. Or something.
― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 18 October 2012 16:43 (eleven years ago) link
The site listed them all as metal! Not really scared, just probably not my thing.
― nickn, Friday, 19 October 2012 02:04 (eleven years ago) link
Huh. So it does. If you can't trust a music website run by a car company, what can you trust?

I know, right?!!!

"Trip the Light Fantastic: A Tribute to Robert Abel & Associates"November 10, 2012 - 7:30 pmBilly Wilder Theater, UCLA
Producer-director Robert Abel may not be a household name but his production company, Robert Abel & Associates (RA&A), helped to define the look of an era and to change the future of moving-imagemaking forever. A UCLA alumnus who started out working for computer graphics pioneer, John Whitney, Abel pioneered the application of CGI in commercials, broadcast television and film. In 1971, he co-founded RA&A with Con Pederson (Co-Visual Effects Supervisor, 2001: A Space Odyssey) and assembled a team of artists who combined an intuitive understanding of technology, from the optical to the digital, with an innovative—some might say hallucinogenic—sense of style. RA&A’s fusion of art and technology earned it 33 Clio Awards for its iconic work, including spots for 7UP, Levi Strauss, TRW, Benson & Hedges and the Canned Food Information Council. RA&A’s motion graphics for network television transformed the entire look of the medium. In the late 1970s, the company expanded into music videos and movies, contributing ground-breaking effects and animation work on Star Trek – The Motion Picture (1979), Tron (1982) and the video for The Jacksons' “Can You Feel It” (1980). The UCLA Film & Television Archive and the Visual Effects Society are pleased to celebrate RA&A’s work and legacy with an evening of clips and conversation with some of the company’s key artists and producers."
