Heading to California in a month, need tourist advice.
 

I've been through Cali before but the whole point of me posting this is I want people that work in adult to give me their opinions on the best places to be to the full superficial feel of Cali. What do I mean?

Places to see beautiful people, money, good hangout spots... Recommended areas. I will be staying with a producer friend of mine and with a former drug dealer friend of mine, fun times. LOL

Tips, advice, angry comments? Let me here them...

ummm... fairly large state... might want to narrow it down a bit... where in Cali? There is plenty to do/see/experience etc. that is not necessarily superficial or just plain "touristy".

If you are in the LA area then maybe your drug dealer friend can take you to Venice to see how VC13 gets the job done clocking dollars on Brooks Ave* before enjoying a nice chi chi meal with the wealthy bohemians shmoozing it up at a cafe on Abbott Kinney. Where else can you rub elbows with the true OG or hobnob with famous actors all in a few blocks of a place that has kept the wild in wild wild west?

Be sure to stay frosty though... legend has it that to get in the gang you have to kill a stranger so you don't want to be there on kill a stranger day...:winkwink:


* When I lived on Brooks someone cleverly whited out parts of the street sign to read "Rock Ave"

I was joking around about my drug dealer friend, he got in trouble for possession of a controlled substance in chicago, big trouble.

Thanks for the advice above.

I'll hit up some other boards to for advice.

I hear Death Valley is nice this time of year.

Hope you won't experience any quakes :)

California is really 4 states in 1...

Very North might as well be Canada.
Mid-North is very iSmug
Middle wine, country, lazy beaches
Southern is fast paced with no central theme other than speed.

So what part are you going to?

San Diego and around porn Valley and then San Francisco where the former druggy (not really) is getting his PhD at Stanford.

Stanford is about 45 minutes from SF. My dad was faculty and my bro went to school there. Not much going on there though unless you like taking tours on VC row or seeing what a particle accelerator pipeline looks like. The campus is beautiful though and maybe there is a good show going on at Frost Amphitheatre...

In San Diego, there is of course the world famous Homegrown Video building... but hit La Jolla if you want upscale drinks/food overlooking the water or Mission Beach if you want a younger rowdier crowd.

SLO to SB, LA to SD. Skip SF IMO lol

Beach if your shooting content

I'll be sure to bring my Canon 50d along for the ride.

I'll start a little thread on here on what I did during my trip. First will be Def Con and then everything in California.

The Gaslamp district in downtown San Diego. Lots of superficial people there on a Saturday night.

Tip : Don't make any plans just to go to Hollywood Blvd and don't plan on spending
more than 2 hours there.

Ain't nothing there except an old fantasy.

And homeless people and runaways.

I've lived in the Bay Area outside of San Fran for many years, and I love it here. I hate SoCal with their traffic and smog and crap. But after many many years of living here... Just last year I discovered a little section of town that no one has ever heard of, all residential, right on the beach. Just a great place to hang out really.

aint shit here especially in LA besides traffic lol

Beware of racist flesh eating zombies in large parts of the state!

Why bump a year old thread. Obviously he was already there a year ago. :upsidedow:pimp

Not to keep this bumped up, but it always baffles me how this happens... :helpme:upsidedow

Still waiting for vacation photos:winkwink:
