Today’s Stream of Consciousness
Posted by Caroline on Crack under Los Angeles, Nightlife, Dining, Recreation, Shopping & Sales -I need to find a new drinking hole since I’ve been ousted from my old one. Any suggestions? I’m looking for a place that makes some damn good cocktails. And don’t say the Griffin. As much as I love that’s place, it’s just too darn far from home base. And don’t say Father’s Office II as they only have five cocktails. Although that IS a good stand-by.
Anyone else on Brightkite.com? I love it cuz it takes Twittering to a different level, allowing me to tell people where I am to perhaps join me in my outings. Great for mobile parties or flash mobs. Hmm, maybe I should organize a crackhead bar hop! Anyone game?
For some reason I skipped over this tidbit of information when I saw it so didn’t mention it in my weekend roundup. But LF Stores is having a warehouse sale in Playa del rey today and tomorrow! 70-90% off all the rilly pretty jeans, tops, dresses, etc. They only take cash and credit cards but isn’t that all anyone has nowadays anyway? The address is 5333 McConnell Avenue. Happy bargain hunting!
During chick flick night last night, me and the girls put temporary tattoos on for fun. I now have an Ed Hardy Chinese dragon on my forearm and I kinda like it; the idea of the tat on my arm, not the Ed Hardy tat. So now I’m really considering getting one there but wonder if I’m too old for that now. dotsara keeps daring me to get one. Well, she says, “You’re never going to get one,” which we all know is as good as a dare. But I can’t seem to find a dragon design that I like anyway so maybe she’s right.
Next week is the anniversary that no one should celebrate: Spam’s 30th year of existence — the Internet annoyance, not the mystery meat (which is actually celebrating its 70th). All I can say is that I thank the creator of CoC every day for putting a spam filter on my comments. Thanks, Michael! Otherwise I’d have a bazillion penis enlargement and naked Paris links in my comments. So friggin’ irritating. They don’t even make sense most of the time.
For those who haven’t already heard, the Rustic Canyon Wine Bar in Santa Monica is now open for breakfast. The counter service breakfast is only on Saturday mornings (8am-12pm) and coincides with the farmers market in Santa Monica near 3rd and Arizona, so you can grab and stroll down to the market to kick off a nice relaxing morning.
And, for those who were wondering: I’m sorry to say that like Flavor Flav, Brett Michaels and Tila Tequila before him, Crazy Andy is still looking for that one special person.

“ousted from my old one”?
I think it’s cooler when older people get tats vs. kids. more individualistic than trying to be trendy.

Yup. I’ll tell you on chat.
Well, we’ll seeee. I might find a dragon that I like. Just takes research.

yea, ousted? I know what your old one was..but I guess I won’t mention it because you have obviously taken the care to do the same. Tell me over email?
I’ve never heard of brightkite..until now! can you send me an invite?

Bodhi,
Will do to both.

What did you do to get ousted?
April 26th, 2008 at 3:56 pm
Thanks for calling me with the scoop about the ousting. It’s fucking lame and I can’t believe how well you’re taking it. They don’t deserve your business, the business you’ve brought them, nor any of the free publicity you’ve given them.
Maybe I’m just an angry person, but I say fuck ‘em.

You should put a diagonal stripe across your page that says “BANNED!” in red or black.

OK, so I’m totally a lurker but am wondering about this ousting business. Any way you could share your tale, even in vague terms? I’ve had that place on my list of “to-visits” for a while and would love to know if I should cross it off…
April 28th, 2008 at 4:01 pm
what place is this? is the name a combination of two streets?
April 28th, 2008 at 4:03 pm
and regarding the tat, i thought you had one. you should have a tat across your belly that says “thug life” then you would really represent la to the fullest!
April 28th, 2008 at 5:14 pm
i am sooo curious about the ousting.
April 29th, 2008 at 5:16 pm
