LOS ANGELES area 20 Feb 2016

I'm just enquiring if there is any interest in attending a GTG at short notice in mid February 2016?

Suggestions of dates and locations would be appreciated.

What city or cities are you planning to stay/visit?
The two places that come to mind would be Beverly Hills or South Coast Plaza area (Orange County) since GTGs have been held in both places.

Yeah, guys some awesome suggestions.
I just got confirmation that I will be staying in DownTown LA.
I'm thinking of buying a bicycle and I can ride anywhere, Hollywood, Santa Monica and even Colorado for a smoke for medicinal purposes (joking).

I don't trust myself to hire a car or a motorcycle as I'm used to driving on the left side of the road.

Lets do it!!!!

Can always take an uber

Best way to get around and not worry about the details, like not drinking too much whiskey.

Have you ever ridden a bike for any extended period of time in LA? I've been here almost my entire life; I wouldn't ride from DTLA to Santa Monica, BH, etc. Just my thoughts.

I'll be around for a GTG though.

Apparently there is an area called the "Jewelry District" of downtown LA.....anyway that's where I'm staying, I hope it is a good area.
Anyhow, now that I've got a base, I can go anywhere. So what is the preferred GTG neighbourhood??? BH? Santa Monia? Brentwood? Compton?

Jewelry District is a busy area in LA.

UBER is your best option to get around.

I rarely go to downtown due to traffic on weekdays. Hoping the GTG will be on a Saturday or Sunday 🍻

There's a cool spot by the jewelry district. Ace hotel rooftop. Walking distance from where you'll be staying at. Bar, pool, etc. Not as fancy as Bev Hills but just a cool place to hang out.

Thanks guys but the 13th is to busy for me to be in that area. The flights and hotel rooms are sold out due to the Grammys on Monday and valentines day. Have fun though

OC or LA.
If you happen to go to OC, make sure you don't uber when drunk. That didn't go over too well for a guy down here.
