You know, LA does have a subway system. It's not as popular as the one in NY, even with locals. Hell, I've met some locals who don't even know it exists, but it's there. I relied on LA public transpo (buses and trains) when I attended college in the area. People look at you like you're crazy when you tell them that you ride buses and trains to get around town, and actually walk from stops to stations to your destination. Honestly, it's really not that bad. At that time, I was reveling in the fact that I can go anywhere within LA County and even a little further with just a day-pass worth $3.00, when you can only get a gallon (sometimes even less) of gas for the same price. That was between 2001 and 2005 when gas prices skyrocketed.

And then, there are those who avoid it for stupid elitist reasons. Give me an effin break… That's how you truly get to know the city and its people, but that's a whole other discussion…

Anyway, they recently reopened Angel's Flight if any of you are interested. It's said to be the shortest railway anywhere. I've never tried it (though I've always wanted to-it was still closed when I was in the area), but it looks like fun. That is, also, if you can squeeze it into the fun, busy itinerary planned.

I wish I could join… But whatever mode of transportation you all choose, enjoy the city, each other's company, and have fun! Admin's plan sounds great.   Especially that tour of the shooting locations…

I finally booked my flight and hotel!

 

It turns out I was able to fly down Friday night after all, so I will be there for the Saturday tour.

(Can you tell I'm happy about that?)

And as I said, I'll have a car so if peeps need a ride for the tour I'll have 3 seats free.

 

I would still like to know if anyone is hanging around after the weekend? I am considering getting tickets to watch a taping or a talk show, and would like to know if anyone wants to come along? Let me know.

I live in the ara, so it just depends on what you want to go and see!

I'm around until Tuesday night, trying to figure out what else I'm going to do while I'm there…

I checked the shows, but it's too early to see who the guests are.  Ellen is on hiatus until August, but both Jimmy Kimmel and Craig Ferguson will be taping.  I have a friend who works on Kimmel so I might end up going there either way, but I think I'd prefer to see CraigyFerg.  Anyone interested in either of those?  I will request tickets, but I'd need to know how many people would like to come, as well as which night would be better.  Another two weeks until we know the guests.

 

Does anyone have any other suggesstions?

I would totally go see Craig Ferguson! Just let me know the day! I'm sure my hubby would want to come too, as long as we can get a sitter!

Monday is probably better for me, but if people have conflicts I can probably do Tuesday (my flight doesn't leave until late). Either place is fine with me.

I can bring an extra GPS if needed.
