re:I will be there as well, trying to figure out what to do in LA before the show.
Amoeba Music isn't that far away. You can come by and say hello to me. There probably isn't enough time but you can eat at
Palms Thai for cheep and see Thai Elvis perform there. I also recommend possibly checking out
Family Bookstore (eat at canter's deli across the street).
Ooga Booga (in chinatown) isnt' bad although I've never actually found anything there I wanted. If you like museums i recommend the
BROAD at LACMA. Or
Paul McCarthy just opened a show in venice with a great sculpture of an animatronic George Bush fucking a pig.
