Los Angeles, California

oh that's pretty much my dream lineup, lacma, koreatown and ginger rogers. that black american portraits exhibit was at the top of our list for the trip we didn't take last december. la is the best city in the us it's true. keep dreaming of going back for a vacay but skint lately, maybe it'll happen soon though.

i do The Punk Rock Graveyard Tour at Hollywood Forever! It's less Renee Adoré and more Rozz Willams (you won't see any music people that made music after 1944 on the other tour)

I took a spectacular hike a couple weeks ago in Los Leones Canyon.

biking around in general, the main streets are a little terrifying but cutting through all these residential streets LA is fucking beautiful tbh

oh yeah, this time of year is probably perfect weather. i skated residential streets from echo park to amoeba and parts of it are like not even being in the middle of LA.
I had a super Bibimbap in K-town once, too. Forget the name, but was a VERY large restaurant

damn I didn't even schedule LACMA but maybe I'll go after the Academy Museum depending on how tired I am/if there's tix available

academy museum is such bullshit but the terrace is nice

maybe but I wanna see the Miyazaki exhibit

The Miyazaki exhibit is interesting / worth the price of admission if you're into his stuff. I agree the museum itself is... not good. The whole thing needs to be reconceptualized or something.

it’s hit or miss and tbh i was underwhelmed by the Miyazaki exhibit. the sci-fi montage rotunda room was my favorite part

So I have a ticket into the former Bob Hope airport and am sposed to be there for a week one month from now…but I am of course wondering if I should cancel in light of BA2… I guess if someone would care to talk about their recent experiences traveling to LA and whether the mask compliance is good there, whether you felt OK about outside vs. inside socializing …it seems like a lot of ILxors went there recently, according to this thread…

Cases are indeed rising a bit, but not as high as (say) SF at the moment (or especially parts of the East Coast, as I understand). Of course who knows what things will look like in a month.

Mask "compliance," as in wearing? (they're not required most places indoors in LA County anymore), is moderate to low I guess, depending on the area/neighborhood. If cases increased significantly, I have no doubt the county would quickly re-impose the ordinance, as that's how they roll.
