HAY GUISE,

Per Los Feliz Slim:

"Friday the 14th, 8PM, the Cat & Fiddle at 6530 W Sunset Blvd. There is a movement afoot to involve cards at some point, be it locally or somewhere more robusto."

More importantly, Mat Sklansky and his girlfriend Kiera are coming down from Vegas to join us!!! Pretty huge news IMO.

I will PM a link to the confirmed participants to the previous thread to get them excited, but Mat for some reason doesn't think he's a big deal and I disagree!

More proof that LA happy hour >>>>>>>> ATL happy hour. Nothing personal LDO.

I'll come if at all possible. If that doesn't qualify me for the PM list I'll just stowaway with the Sizzler.

WOW way to not even include the D.C. Happy Hour in that...I think you meant
D.C. Happy Hour >> LA happy hour >>>>>>>>> ATL HH.

but seriously with this new update NLS says he might be down but the thing is I would have to drive because he gets really angry in traffic and then he doesn't talk to me and i get sad that he doesn't like me anymore. BUT i love traffic because then i dance in my car.

Can any locals give me some hotel suggestions? I really don't care what the place is like.

I'll "probably" make the trip, if I get out of work early enough. Here's to hoping it won't be so bad on the 5, at least the start of the trip, with Del Mar now closed.

Iggy it didn't occur to me that we might have to get a hotel//will definitely have to get a hotel. That was a good question on your part.

ok so GUYS i had a brilliant idea we will probably go to universal studios beforehand since we're gonna be driving all the way up there anyways. if anyone wants to join us u r welcome if u r cool. if ur dorky then no to the wayz

Cool. I'll also see if I can get Yugo to come up and demonstrate how to put some neg hits on aladare.

i'm in for friday

A real life PUA and a Sklansky? LA Happy Hour is pwning all others.

re: hotels I would suggest The Grafton on Sunset or, slightly east of there, the Standard (also on Sunset). Both are relatively reasonable & often have specials. Also both are hip and fun and if you ended up having a party back in your room it likely wouldn't be a prob.

BTW, still waiting on my super special PM from Tuq re this shindig

are you helping iggy break out of a slump?

Iggy send me an update. I miss San Diego


..............

fyc

I was going to PM you to see if you were up for this.

What the hell are you doing on the wrong coast?!?!

long story.

How is the job and stuff? I will not be able to attend which means this will not be an A+ event. (Maybe an A-)

I'm in NY/NJ until October 10th.

hope all is well.....

fyc

$240 a night isn't what I consider reasonable.

split it w/Tuq

Just have him pay for it. 2+2 pays him like 6 figs or some bs to be a mod....

fyc

I've said it before, I'll say it again.

Least... balla... 2p2 get-together... ever.

I'll check my Entertainment Book to see if I have some kind of 2-1 special at Cat & Fiddle. That thing is a Godsend.

Will I be the only one wearing a name tag?
"Hi my name is Snowball"

I'm in.

i'll wear one that says "poor taste in rea$onable"

This development has exciting implications! I'm still in.

RE: Hotels, I linked to a couple of options in the last thread. If it's in this area and reasonably priced, it's going to be somewhere between kinda sketchy and a place where hookers bring their johns. Anybody coming in from out of town, if you find a hotel and are wondering about it, post here or PM me and I'll tell you what I think.

Fluff, the hotels at Universal are pretty nice and I don't think are insanely expensive. The cab ride to the bar we're going to won't be THAT bad, but it's not exactly around the corner.

oh man i'm sad that i left LA i definitely wish i could go to this

Suzzer,

At least none of us are going to drop 40g's in a stripclub and not get laid on Friday.

Los,

Your links in the other thread didn't work. Please list the names when you get a chance.

I do have a bunch of trip rewards that I can use for a free room. I may just get that Ramada in West Hollywood, any info on that?

-----------------

I'm so not going to know who people are. I have like no clue what people look like, and only remember people online from their avatar. I think everyone should be required to wear a sticker with their avatar so I know who you are.

WHOA fluffpop I think you must be forgetting that DC Happy Hour was so great because I was there obv, and I will also be at ATL HH, therefore it's more like DC = ATL >>>>>>>>>>> LA.

Hotels:

The Hollywood Downtowner - Orbitz has is at $109/night. Most assuredly very sketchy, but looks amusingly strange.

Saharan Motor Hotel - One of my business partner's cousins died at at this hotel. Also a burnout I went to high school with lived here for like three months. Extremely close to the bar we're going to. Orbitz says $113/night.

Ramada West Hollywood - I don't know anything specific about it, but it's certainly better than the above two places. Orbitz says $169.

Holiday Inn Walk of Fame - Looks OK @ $179/night.

Hyatt West Hollywood - $255/night. Right on Sunset Strip if you plan on doing some clubbing, etc.

Kinda looks like if you spend less than $150/night you should be prepared for anything. It doesn't look like there are rooms at the "cool" hotels I would've recommended, like the Chateau Marmont, Hollywood Standard, Hollywood Roosevelt, etc. But they might be worth checking, and will also be expensive.
