I hate to admit it cause really, it's so easy to love LA it's almost like saying you love ice cream. What's not to love about that weather! I indulged my inner serpent each day by toasting myself on a rock (or a chair on the patio at the LA Convention Center, which ever was closer).
And the taco truck run with Eric Stone, Ben and Allison from Bleak House was more fun than I've had in quite some time. I truly understand what Californians drive around so much...it's a hoot!
Between looking at the pig mural in Vernon, CA, and the Aimee Semple McPhearson temple in Echo Park, I am now officially a gape-mouthed tourist. T-shirts to come.
More tomorrow after I recover what few wits I did not leave on the show room floor.
Here's some other blog posts elsewhere about BEA:

I'm amused that anyone wants to drive in CA-- lately we've all been complaining about gas prices, and LA has never been without its complaints re: traffic!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you had so much fun out here though.
Mi tacos es su tacos, baby. Anytime.
ReplyDeleteI love LA too.
ReplyDeleteMaybe someday on your way to L.A. you can stop by Chicago. (That's on the way, right?) We should have our boys in blue cleaned up by the 2016 Olympics.
ReplyDeleteMmmm... Tacos...
ReplyDeleteNow you're just making me nostalgic for my taco trucks in San Diego. Not many of those in Montana... {sigh}
ReplyDeleteEric, next time I go to L.A. you'll have to give me tips on the best ones.
Happy to do so. In spite of a new onerous law that attempts to get them to move every hour, they are mostly staying put.
ReplyDelete'Twas a grand time. Still looking for at least one of my wits though. I think it got lost in checked baggage.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back.
ReplyDeleteSounds like everyone had a great time. Glad you're back, though.
ReplyDeleteJanet loves LA? Say it ain't so!
ReplyDeleteThen again, so does Jay, though I wouldn't want to live there permanently...
