Ha, well, at least I can say I saw one show there.

the venue had its problems beyond the management (punishingly uncomfortable pews) but it was a good space.
― christmas candy bar (al leong), Tuesday, 20 May 2014 00:14 (ten years ago) link
Yeah I liked it, and there weren't any pews for Loop, just open floor. Only thing I would have done if possible is more a/c but that's pretty much ANY venue except the Echoplex.

also I'm willing to stay in a no-frills Hollywood dump again, but do you think i'd be bored downtown? (obv need to be near bus/train)

also I guess I should get my friend in the Valley to drive me to the Getty Villa one morning? Only got to Santa Monica and Venice at dusk last time, Malibu not at all.

can't say for sure, but this midnight horror at Cinefamily on the 11th might be appealing:
http://www.cinefamily.org/films/friday-night-frights/#friday-night-frights-the-changeling
What is the capacity of that place?
Also, I should go to both Getty branches, right?
― son of a lewd monk (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 1 July 2014 17:43 (ten years ago) link
cinefamily holds a couple hundred or so i think?
― christmas candy bar (al leong), Tuesday, 1 July 2014 17:51 (ten years ago) link
i haven't been to the getty villa, but the getty on the 405 is lovely.
― Neil Patrick Haggerty (get bent), Tuesday, 1 July 2014 19:37 (ten years ago) link
The Villa is also nice, but visit before Europe reclaims all its plundered antiquities.
― nickn, Tuesday, 1 July 2014 22:52 (ten years ago) link
both nice, but if you have time for only one, see the 405.

also am i sposed to get only a martini at Musso & Franks, or a steak as well?
― son of a lewd monk (Dr Morbius), Saturday, 5 July 2014 02:46 (ten years ago) link
both iirc
and Cinefamily definitely holds a few hundred - if you get there early enough, though, you can get a sofa in the front, not just a regular seat
(a couple of times last year I was non-early enough to end up on a folding stool in the aisle)

I didn’t go to Groundlings (or IO West) on my passes through Hollywood last year (saw big queues outside the Groundlings though), but looking at stuff this week: there’s Paul F Tompkins’ monthly Varietopia show at Largo on Saturday night, Reid Scott off of Veep appearing at a current-affairs-comedy-quiz-show at Meltdown, Wil Anderson & Dan Harmon & Sam Simmons & Moshe Kasher at a Prompter show at UCB, Marc Maron doing both rooms at the Store, and I would have gone to The Smartest Man In The World free at Bar Lubitsch on Tuesday night.
― boney tassel (sic), Friday, 11 July 2014 02:53 (ten years ago) link
xpost -- Damn, if I weren't getting ready to head north for a week on Saturday morning I would be there, but I gotta use Friday night to pack, clean, etc. Best to everyone! Another time!
