knock knock...where'd everyone go?
i just moved (back) to echo park. doing midnight ridazz bike ride tomorrow. there is a new dyke night at akbar on tuesdays for those interested. also, cinespia is doing cemetery screenings again at hollywood forever! they are super fun, you can bring a picnic and wine and lounge in the cemetery and watch old movies while sitting on their stars' graves.

yeah I'd like to go to the show sonik! Hi ophelia!

sonic - I have to agree with mouse on the walk, and shitty public transportation. the only public transportation I feel comfortable recommending is the subway - the red line connects North Hollywood, Hollywood, and Downtown. That said, you need to find a place closeby a subway station. because like mouse said, a long walk in LA is a LOOOOONG walk. And that walk could be through some not-so-desirable neighborhoods if you don't know where you're going.

If you do find a place to stay downtown, I would suggest taking a cab to hangar 1018. It shouldn't cost too much from Downtown. Hangar 1018 is a great space, but it's in a kind of crappy neighborhood. I dunno if I would even take a bus there at night, because it would involve walking into parts of the neighborhood not very populated to get there. the street it's on is ok, and there will be a lot of people down there for the opening, so it's no big deal. Still, I would want to be driven right up to the door. I've parked my car on the street there and had no problems, but that was on nights there was an opening or a party there.

yeah LA bustie meet up would be fun!

I wish I knew more about hostels. Hotels yes, hostels no.
