Hi all
I'm going to L.A. for a Bukowski research trip quite soon (I know there's a few others who've done similar ones around). Will be landing at LAX on December 29 and staying around until the end of January (spending the final week up in Santa Barbara).
I'm also thinking quite a few of you may be from the city yourselves.
So, what are some insider suggestions for places to go, bars to have a drink at, small press events or readings to check out? These can be either Buk-fan oriented or not. I want to make the most of my trip, soak up L.A. . . . but have no particular desire to visit a film set.
Also, the eternal question . . . car or no car? I'm staying near each of the archives I'm working at (USC LA and The Huntington) but will lack of a car make it impossible for me to have any fun?
Appreciate any help.
