depends a lot where you're going to be... saying you'll be in LA is like saying you'll be in rhode island. ;)
shopping... you might as well hit Melrose. there are several (questionable) record stores along with a lot of shopping. actually it will probably remind you some of uptown, only better. i'm talking about melrose roughly between fairfax and la brea. there's a solid record store in los feliz called vinyl fetish. it's at 1750 N Vermont ave. if you get out that far east, there's also some interesting shopping in silver lake. if you're closer to the west side, there's a decent record store in west LA called higher source. it's at 1544 Purdue ave, just off santa monica blvd, just west of the 405. around the corner is West LA Music, a very nice equipment store. and if you've never been to the 3rd St. Promenade in santa monica that's worth doing, just for general shopping. as far as clubs on those nights of the week the only thing i can comfortably recommend is Sugar in santa monica on tuesday night. http://www.clubsugar.com/. tuesday is the moontribe night, so you get something like house and desert breaks, whatever the hell that is. but actually it's a very reliably fun night, the crowd is unpretentious and just there to have fun, the music often isn't bad, and it's $2 to get in. it's actually a very nice club as well... small, well done. garrett ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, February 05, 2003 10:56 AM Subject: (313) what's on in L.A. ? > I'll be in L.A. starting Monday and maybe leaving Wednesday or Thursday - > was wondering if there is anything/place worth visiting.
