sonia's flingo on lists
So apparently I'm the only one who can remember to blog every day. Oh well. So my list today is the top 5 people-watching spots in Los Angeles.
1. The L.A. opera. If you thought you'd seen it all, I promise you that you haven't. This is a great place to see what people used to dress like 50 years ago, furs and pearls included. I recommend buying a pair of opera glasses to check people out during the show.
2. Santa Monica beach and pier. The great thing about the Pier is that it is not only a date destination, but kids go there to hang out, and bums go there to get some quick cash. Plus you will probably catch a fair amount of tourists, bermuda shorts and hawaiian shirts.
3. The Asscat comedy show at the Upright citizens brigade. It's a bunch of young hipsters and emo kids drinking and doing drugs before and sometimes DURING the show. They promise a good time, especially when they do a whip-it on stage.
4. Hollywood and Highlands. Thanks to the high tourist population, there is always someone dressed up as Darth Vader or Jack Sparrow, but there are also alot of Angelenos wandering the racks at BCBG or grabbing a bite at Beard Papa's. So classy.
5. Last but not least, I tend to have fun people watching at the midnight shows or opening nights at the Arclight movie theater. Movie geeks, film students, and celebrities alike swarm to this place for drinks and a movie. The best yet was seeing Sin City with a bunch of hardcore fans. Plus, on various occasions, I've seen Jason Lee, Giovanni Ribisi, and Lucy Liu drop by for a flick.
That's all I have for now...more tomorrow!
