    Default what is there to do in LA???!!!

    Hi everyone,

    I live on the East Coast, and I'm visiting my family in Los Angeles for a month and a half. I haven't even been here a week yet but I'm already SO BORED!
    Most of my closer friends from high school have either grown distant, or moved away for college. I really want to go out or meet new people but I'm not sure about going to a bar or club... especially not by myself.

    What fun things can i do, especially at night?
    How can I meet interesting people, and not just suburbian homebodies? I'm up for parties or shows, but i'd like meeting weird artsy folks or scientists too, whatever. Making new friends is so much easier on the East Coast!

    I can't just hang out on the internet or at museums/libraries forever (until February)!

    Help!!!



    Thanks,
    Lily-pad

    Your right... sitting on the internet wont make you have a good time... If I may suggest... go to cafes in the noon and strike up conversation. If you have family that is around your age connect and then go to bars or clubs if you so wish.

    LA has a lot of prime places considering one of my friends is a promoter there. I get all kinds of stories. Everything is mental when talking to people. Not difficult if you block everything and just try having some fun. -- Truth

    what area in LA? narrow it down.. do you have a car and willing to drive? is like a must to do anything in LA.

    you can look on goldstar.com for various discounted events. there is a paper at most coffee shops LAweekly or OCweekly that has stuff to do. can also look on metromix.com, yelp.com, of course citysearch.com

    it IS very hard to meet people here though... usually ends up being people that are from east coast as well lol.

    I have a friend that lives near LA. She has very limited funds, for things to do, so I'm always looking to help her find things to do. However, I live in midwest

    Go to Hollywood or Venice Beach during the day. Aside from parking, it is free to just wander around. Wear something a bit unusual (I like to wear fun hats) and people will start chatting you up right away. As for unusual people, there are plenty! It is a veritable side show at either.

    I went down to SeaWorld last February and the drive is a bit daunting from LA, but if you leave early in the am, it isn't quite as bad (and you'll make it in to the park early before the crowds).

    There is the usual touristy stuff: Disney, Universal Studios, Knotts Berry Farm, etc. Have you been down Wilshire blvd? I missed it on my last trip. Then there is the shopping in the LA fashion district, if shopping is your thing.


    Promote yourself and earn more money! This is a business that is owned by strippers for strippers. Let's make that money!

    OK Lilly contact me if you want to go to some industry parties, We are all heading to Las Vegas for the AVN show The 7th through the 12th.. But when I get back, we have plenty of things scheduled every night. More so in Hollywood though, don't do much in Los Angeles party wise.

    I don't know you at all but I will be happy to add you to the VIP list of whatever is going on,... It's what we do for a living

    We usually travel with a camera crew so safety is never an issue except from yourself.. (Don't even ask about past invites)

    So I hear from you, then you can experience the industry parties that you should while here.

    I live in Santa Monica, close to the beach and very close to Wilshire Blvd.

    Come down to Santa Monica pier and the 3rd street promandade. Tons of people, shopping , but out doors, not in a mall and lots of street performers. There are random clubs around here to party too.
