There is tons to do in LA.  I like LA, it's a city full of rich culture and lots of shit to do.  It's not like SF, but it is a sweet city.  Go down to Universal and check out the studios, film is a crazy cool industry.  Go to Disneyland, go to the beach, go to downtown LA, it is a sweet place, my dad used to work in the AON building, check out the Staples center, go wherever the fuck you want, go to the Oakley headquarters, there are tons of other brands right by there.  The Oakley headquarters is sweet, definitely go down there.  Just look through a travel guide, there is SO much stuff to do in LA.

check out ameoba records. pretty legit place. also go get you stress test at the scientology headquarters. but halfway in tell them you nee to go outside to snort a xanex and see how they feel about that. outside of that LA is a pretty awesome place to skate and shop. but outside of that not to much going on.

Ya bro, "hella" is soooo not gnar. If one of my bros says "hella" when we're at the waves, I'm like bro, that word isn't even in my vocabulary, man. You guys wanna go buy some mad gnar tanks?

Hang out in WeHo. The guys are hot.

Seriously, go to the beach, base yourself in Hermosa Beach and you'll instantly fall in love with L.A.

Then go to downtown L.A., walk Broadway, and soak up the urban grit.

Then drive any of the crosstown boulevards, Sunset Blvd. is a fantastic drive. And keep your eye out for the number of ethnic businesses and neighborhoods you pass through.

It's an awesome city, btw, you just need to scratch beneath the drab, ugly surface, and there is an incredible amount of life that you'll observe. My favorite place in the world.

did you even read sierra steeze's post? he said that there was a ton to do in la, but then followed by telling him to go downtown, to fucking disneyland, to an oakley store, and to the goddamn staples center. Thats like going to paris, asking someone where the best place to eat is, and getting mcdonalds as a response.
