Labor day weekend: LA or SD? You decide.

hey, me and a buddy are around south california around labor day weekend in sept (fri 31st aug to say tue 4th sept).

having never been to EITHER city before, i'm trying to guage where most people would rather be - LA or San Diego.

that is, in general, and also where you'd rather be in relation to any nights/events/djs that are planned on the clubs' calendars.



....go...

I think you might have more fun in San Diego for such a short period of time. Weather will be better, better beaches. Might be better clubs in LA but it depends really on what you want to do while you are here.

how about vegas???? a short 4 hour drive from LA and a bunch of parites going on that weekend.

Mauro Picotto will be in San Diego on Friday night of that weekend, and Los Angeles on Saturday night.

if you like to party, go to vegas that weekend, if you like to chill go to San diego and hang out on the beaches

clubs are better in LA, but if you're in SD you can go to Tijuana. I'd check to see if there's anything big happening that weekend in either city that you feel like you can't miss. If there's nothing like that, I'd make my decision based on other things.

San Diego beaches are gorgeous, and the water's warm enough to swim in. Dunno if it's like that in LA, since I've never been to the beach there. Again, depends what you want to do with the weekend.

VEGAS!!!!

cheers guys. ha yeah, well i'm flyin in and out of vegas so i'm hopin to get enough of there with those visits. (if it's poss to get enough!?). are there any decent clubs in vegas btw? i've looked, and all i can find are the ones in the hotels which to be fair all look a bit....pretentious!? i like to drown myself, then go a bit mental.

made a note of picotto - that's what i like to hear. i've got the websites of a few of the bigger clubs, but none seem to have a calendar that 'far' into the future. the giant one isn't posting any new events past tiesto in concert on 11th aug.

thing is, it's a bit of a fleeting visit: only 3 days in each city. which will be fri/sat/sun and then mon/tue/wed. hence, the fri/sat/sun i want to be wherever it's goin off. then i can sit/vegetate/lie comotose on a beach on the mon/tue/wed.

haha.

Ok, if I were you, I'd party in LA on fri/sat/sun... then chill out, relax and recooperate on the beach in SD on mon/tue/wed.

I'm not sure what's going on or what DJ's will be in LA that Fri night yet (Basic, Compression and Incognito are usually good on Fridays but not sure what djs are playing yet).

But like I mentioned, Picotto will be @ Vangaurd (Giant) in Hollywood on Saturday night. If you're visiting SoCal, I think Vangaurd is the best club to visit.

Avalon is good on Saturday nights too, but I'm not sure what DJ will be playing there that weekend.

Sundays afternoons in LA are good too... there is always some good music @ The Standard rooftop (Standard Hotel in Downtown LA).

definetly party in LA and then go relax in SD

Spundae @ Avalon on Saturday!

lovin it, lovin it. looks like it will be LA then SD. on sat, picotto sounds like a plan, but i'll watch the spundae calendar - it's only up to 28th july at the moment i think.

oh and i'm there on that rooftop on the sunday afternoon.

anyone know any 'pre-party' bars in LA (if such things exist out there!?).

Well, duh! But that doesn't help. Who is playing @ Avalon that weekend??? I'm sure you know or can find out!

Hopefully it's someone shitty (no offense) cuz I want to go see Picotto.

There are a lot of bars in that area, but they usually don't open till 10pm. The guest lists for Vangaurd and Avalon close at 11pm, so you wouldn't have time to go to a bar, unless you're willing to pay full price to get in.

But there are a lot of nice resturaunts around there that you can go eat dinner and have a couple drinks.

Do you know what hotel you guys are staying in yet??

on the sat/sun: no. we were holding back booking anywhere because we weren't sure on the LA vs SD argument. we're staying at some bargain motel on the fri night at around 7000-odd w. sunset blvd.

obviously now we'll look at booking places, but there's also the issue that we reckon it will be hell cheaper if we turn up and find a hotel while we're out there....the cheapest hotels we can find on the net, ie going through an agent, are �60 (ie $120)..!!! okay, i've never been before, but surely we could pay half that just showin up somewhere.

is sunset blvd a reasonable location? (for the sights and sounds of LA in general and the clubs?) i have no idea. the city looks the size of england.

I think it would be wayyy cheaper if you book it in advanced, since it's a holiday weekend. If you just show up, the prices might be higher or there might not even be any rooms available!

Hotels/motels on Sunset Blvd. are the best location since it's close to everything, but I also think they are the most expensive. Try looking on www.hotels.com or www.motels.com

I've never stayed at a hotel in LA, since I live in Hollywood and i'm 2 minutes away from everything, but try those websites and see what you can find near Hollywood. Hopefully you can find some good deals!

I know a great CAR-BAR spot...

its called Toyota Tacoma...

or another spot called: Ford Explorer!!!!

the drinks are cheaper and the only tip is the tip of the water bottle full of vodka!

LMFAOOOOOO!!! I think he meant drinking in your car, which everyone does in the parking lot before going to a club. Drinks are expensive as hell in LA. Average is like $11 for one drink. Might as well buy a bottle of vodka and drink in your car.

Well, keep us posted about what hotel/motel you are staying in!

yeah thanks, i got it just a few seconds before typing "Toyota Tacoma" into google.....


"...WAIT A GODDAMN MINUTE!!!"


hahaha


will do.
