What's up LA?
Hey everyone, I'm coming out to LA in a few days to check it out. If I like it I will be moving.
I was curious what the scene is like out there. Here in NYC we have alot of parties that go late. I usually avoid trancy parties and opt for Tech house and techno. Just want to know what to expect when I get out there.
wuddup... lots of good people here on the west coast (SF, LA, Seattle). Hope you enjoy while down here.

ohh ok. that makes sense bc my friends do KK and avalon some weekends.
Put your hands up for LA, I love this city!!!!!
There are many parties, don't worry about that. Worry about our laid back attitudes. If you are the aggressive NY type, you won't wanna live here and neither do we want you living here.

I just moved from Atlanta to LA recently, so here's a newbie's perspective on the city:
The Good:
1. Weather. It's always nice. "Hot" isn't hot, and "Cold" isn't cold.
2. Healthy food is everywhere, it makes it easy to eat right.
3. An abundance of beautiful women.
4. Proximity to San Diego, Vegas, and San Fran makes for awesome travel options.
5. Hollywood. If you want to work in film or TV, this is the place to be.
6. The beach.
7. Short distance to any outdoor activity you could possibly want.
8. Huge EDM scene. More trance-heavy than NYC I think, but there's lots of house, too.
9. If you love cars, this is a cool place, even if the state doesn't want it to be.
10. The homeless people aren't aggressive here. They're not crackheads, they're just mentally off. Most of the time they leave you alone, and if they do ask you for something, it's usually just food.
The Bad:
1. Last call is at 1:30am. (wtf, right?)
2. The traffic. Everybody knows that, though.
3. Parking is a pain in the ass, but you -need- a car to get around. Go figure.
4. Neighborhoods are divided by race more than most cities I've been to. White people live in one place, hispanic people in another, black people in another, etc. It's odd for a place that bills itself as being so progressive.
5. Infrastructure. Most of the city was built in the 50s, 60s and 70s, and it shows. It's not aging well. A lot of LA is very ugly. Charming in a weird way, but ugly. Lots of cool old neon signs, though.
6. There are more whiners and complainers here than most other places, but they can be ignored.
7. People drive WAY too slow. Part of that is because there are a lot of old people.
8. They care about the NBA here. The rest of the country knows it's a joke, but they haven't quite gotten the message yet. :-P
All in all, I love it here. It's VERY different from New York, though. In fact, it's damn near the opposite.
In a few days...? What dates will you be here? Next Friday is Incognito @ King King, for tech house. Here is the event thread for that: http://www.tranceaddict.com/forums/...&forumid=107&s=
Then there is some Varsity All Star techno party at The Custom Hotel on Sunday afternoon. Some TA's from SF are driving all the way out here for it, so I'm assuming it's going to be good.

Ugly is in the eyes of the beholder. There are many beautiful things here, you just have to open your eyes, heart & mind to see & feel it. Lots of cool people no matter where they come from.
Welcome to the west coast even though you're not here yet.
LA is awesome, you'll fall in love quick. It doesn't smell like hot garbage like NYC does, so that'll be a shock for you I'm sure

To make it here, you just need to learn one phrase- Go Lakers!
But you'll love it here, I wouldn't live anywhere outside Southern California. Unlike NY, you don't have to be a high roller to have fun at clubs. And believe it or not we have a subway-just one- but it gets you all over downtown and hollywood

Our subway is pretty much useless if you live outside of Hollywood/Downtown. The Gold Line is the longest one (I believe? It was extended right?) and it doesn't go anywhere useful.

LA is great. We moved back to SF for 10 months and just had to come back. Once your here, you love it.
And you don't have to be a Lakers fan

OC is whats up =)
Cool, thanks for the help and advice, I come down the 20th and I'm really excited for the whole thing. These last few weeks in NY for me have been out of control and I don't see me slowing down when I get to Cali!
