    Hey LA dudes,

    I'll be in your town on Saturday to visit Meltdown and Span. Any other recommendations?

    Errr, come to my house.

    Apart from that, check out all the "lowbrow" galleries: Copronason and others at Bergamot Station, Gallery1988 etc.... Juxtapoz.com has sme decent listings. Johnson Motors in Pasadena for Tim Biskup stuff.

    Other toy stores, like Munky King on Melrose is worth a quick look if u r in the area, tho no Jp vinyl. Plenty of sneaker and apparel stores if thats yer bag. Little Tokyo and China Town are OK destinations.

    Culturewise, the Getty Villa is a whole day but worth a look. Its has some great antiquities in an amazing setting.

    yo chris,
    hit me up if you want to get food... there are plenty of tasty vegan destinations in the area if that is your bag.

    Nearly forgot, the Silverlake Sunset Junction Fest is on the entire weekend. I plan on going in the evening as Redd Kross and BRMC are on, plus plenty of other folk, as well as stalls, fairground rides etc..... Its a great weekend.

    if its still around, do yourself the favor and check out the Rauschenberg exhibit at the museum on contemporary art in downtown La.

    Are there any good ones near Meltdown? I'm so sick of eating at the 5 places I rotate eating at every day it's driving me crazy!

    Bummer I wasn't working there today, but if you come by another time, come by the Asian DVD section in Meltdown (that's my store, Drunken Master) and say hi!

    Yeah, we were there, but no Rick (or Gaston). Good times were had by all though!

    Cheebo - which is great, but nothing is great every day
    Abbots Habit - same
    Quizno's
    Ro Ro's Chicken
    New York Pizza & Pasta
    Sunset Thai, Toi, California Vegan
    Steak Depot (Philly place)

    There's maybe a place i'm not thinking of, but that's where I go the most. I'd like any recommendations, especially vegan places. I'm not a vegan, but try to eat as healthy as possible.

    Thanks!
