Thanks for the link Mark, looks alright. Bit out of town but not too far.

Anyone go to the Area One gig in '01, out in Devore? Last time they were in LA. We stopped on Washington Boulevard, about 10 minutes walk from the Ocean. Thought, it can't be THAT far to the gig, took 2 hours in a taxi!. Still, they did New Dawn Fades with Moby, Fruschianti, Gillian and Kim Gilbert and Corgan was still hanging around, so worth it over all. Can't remember how we got a cab back from there.

I recommend stay close to greek theatre. So you don't have to worry about transportation.

Btw, no luck with tix. Screw this.

Vince! I completely forgot about that...my memory is shot sometimes Big Grin

We were very grateful for your help. Would be great to meet up again. I'm sure something will come your way, just keep an eye on the usual places. It's a pain in the ass, I'm in the same boat as you for Oakland. Just gotta be patient.

I'll defo buy you a beer for that ride, but you'll need to remind cos I'll forget again Wink

Was reading thru this thread... I couldn't believe that some of you have not been to the Greek, but then I finally realized the Vikings thing...

Anyway, Section B at the Greek is pretty close, though I know you all may want to be closer. I was just there for another show this Sunday, and was sitting in the middle of Section B. The Greek is a rather intimate venue.

One thing to keep in mind - New Order plays L.A. on a Sunday, and the Greek is in a residential neighborhood, which means the show will start and end on time (10:00 pm). There's a really strict curfew here, especially on Sundays. Shows at the Hollywood Bowl and Greek start earlier than what you may be used to on Sundays. I once missed half of Radiohead at the Bowl because I didn't realize this.

Hey JG, it's great to catch up!

Unfortunately, 7 days left to go and I have yet to score any tickets. Tempting to get them off brokers. We will see what happens.

Will keep a look out for Vikings.

Vince, I'm relying on you to recommend a pre-gig boozer?! Or is Ersatz able to assist here?

It's a Sunday so I was hoping folk can get down nice and early to enjoy a beer beforehand.

Any suggestions?

It's gonna be like 100 degrees this entire week in L.A. I recommend checking out this place called Mexico City, located on Hillhurst in Los Feliz. Great margaritas there.

As I posted earlier, the Greek is in a residential neighborhood going uphill... very scenic and pretty, but the bars and places best to go are below the hill in Los Feliz.

Thanks Ersatz, appreciated.

This looks more like a restaurant than a bar...is that right? I was thinking of somewhere where we could just like, well, drink!

Are there any regular bars around there?

There's a bar inside Mexico City, but it's mostly a restaurant altogether.

Hillhurst and Vermont, both leading up to the Greek have a few bars. Some famous ones too:

Dresden Room on Vermont: 1760 North Vermont Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 9002
1739 Public House on Vermont: 1739 N Vermont Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90027
Good Luck Bar on Hillhurst: 1514 Hillhurst Avenue, Los Angeles, CA
Vinoteca on Hillhurst (mostly wines): 1968 Hillhurst Avenue, Los Angeles, CA
Harvard & Stone on Hollywood Blvd.: 5221 Hollywood Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA - a little bit further off, but cool.

JG,

I think Ersatz nailed down some good places within walking distances. This weekend should cool down a bit. Still warm. :P

Let's shoot for 1739 Public House on Vermont: 1739 N Vermont Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90027?

What do you guys think?


* still scouting for tickets.
