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.

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.

Huh. So it does. If you can't trust a music website run by a car company, what can you trust?

"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."

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.
