    Whats up everyone,
    Wife and I are in Ca Beverly Hills staying at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel right off Rodeo Drive on Wilshire. Is there any cool Audio video stores out here? I'm sure there are I just don't know where.

    silˇiˇcon /ˈsɪlɪkən, -ˌkɒn/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[sil-i-kuhn, -kon] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
    –noun Chemistry. a nonmetallic element, having amorphous and crystalline forms, occurring in a combined state in minerals and rocks and constituting more than one fourth of the earth's crust: used in steelmaking, alloys, etc.

    silˇiˇcone /ˈsɪlɪˌkoʊn/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[sil-i-kohn] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
    –noun Chemistry. any of a number of polymers containing alternate silicon and oxygen atoms, as (–Si–O–Si–O–)n, whose properties are determined by the organic groups attached to the silicon atoms, and that are fluid, resinous, rubbery, extremely stable in high temperatures, and water-repellent: used as adhesives, lubricants, and hydraulic oils and in electrical insulation, cosmetics, etc.



    I hope you don't find silicon in breasts....probably wouldn't be healthy. Unless of course a husband is trying to keep GPS tracking on his wife. :D

    My favorite place in LA is the 3rd street Promenade in Santa Monica (completely unrelated to music stores and guitar stuff). I think Tower Record stores in LA are kind of a fun place to music shop.

    Lastly, don't forget to pick yourself up an IN-n-Out T-shirt and enjoy the best burger in the country!

    Get out in the streets and start taking pictures of pretty ladys so you can post them in the tastefull babes thread. I'm sure if you tell them why you are taking thier pictures they would not mind. Enjoy your trip, I will probably be shovelling snow tomorrow morning.

    We came out here to see Dancing with the Stars Final at ABC studios. It was a cool show live. We went shopping on Rodeo Drive, walked and drove all over the place. We did Sunset Strip , Hollywood , Beverly Hills to check out all the killer houses.
    Funny LA was not what I expected. It was calm and cool. People around here are nice , friendly and I didn't find any rudeness like back in Phila or New York. I like it alot out here and wouldn't mind moving out here. It's really cool.

    I snapped some cool pic's. Once we get back home, I will post some.

    See the Dancing With the Stars finale?

    You actually admitted that in PUBLIC? Dan, jeeze, man...I'd have to kick my own ass.

    Hope you are having a good time!

    I ALWAYS use an ass-gasket. Never hover because of splash down and back splatter. I also float landing pad made from TP for a soft landing to avoid the above. One can never be too cautious when dealing with the general public. - RonP

    Glad you can take home and refute one of those urban myth of LA being the ghetto gang-infested barrio...

    One of the HI-FI store that you might be interested to visit is Sound Factor, they have a location in Santa Monica, so it shouldn't be too far from your campground.

    Enjoy LA!

    Sorry I was out of town at the time (just got back), it would have been nice to meet my first real live Polkie! I hope you enjoyed your stay. Did you grab a walk on the beach yet? They're less crowded this time of year. If you need a good restaurant at a reasonable price, try Café Bisou in Pasadena (bring your own great wines from BevMo for a $2 cork fee). Have a walk around trendy West Hollywood: lots of sidewalk cafés there with mega-dollar cars parked out front.
