ateolfokay, i'm gonna talk about the me portions of the la trip now, i'll prob'ly post the rock aspects of this very very rockin' trip in the ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
artpunk community so stay tuned in there for that, it'll prob'ly be more interesting than what i have to say here...
so thursday night, before we left, i got called in to work...i had forgotten about it as i was going out to David's, from where we were leaving the next morning and didn't bring a work shirt...but i had my Camy's jacket w/ me to cover up my Atari shirt even though it was pretty warm...but after an hour and a half i got an extra $20 for the trip...
after 2 hrs of sleep we left for the airport...a stop in Dallas/Ft. Worth then it was L fuckin' A...we wandered around for a little while trying to find the shuttle company the hostel uses, first waiting at all the wrong places...but then we found where we were supposed to be and made it out there...taking a nice "scenic" route...(we also circled the airport once, i guess he was looking for more ppl going to Hollywood, but no one else joined aside from the lady who got on a few stops after us...we spent a half hour in the bus before we left the fucking airport...) we checked in and walked around a little while, in the direction we thought was towards UCLA...we ate at this cool restaurant (russian/greek/romanian or something...) then we got on the bus...when we end up downtown we realized we got on going in the wrong direction...i didn't remember the map as well as i thought...so we got on LA's very limited subway and made it back to right about where we started from in the area of the hostel (as it doesn't go further in the direction we need) and took the bus again the right way...we missed the first act, but it was just Quix*o*tic...they've opened for SY before and are OKAY...Unwound was the best show of that night...as it turns out, it was their third to last show...:( they will be sorely missed...Asheton, Mascis, and Watt was a nice surprise...i was expecting Mascis and Watt to over-wankify the Stooges songs (as it was a Stooges "tribute") and i knew it was gonna have Ron Asheton, but Scott Asheton was on the drums as well...and it was REALLY good...they just did songs from the first two albums...more on that when i do my artpunk rökk post...okay, saturday is now gonna get its own post...
