How do they position and build an outdoor music venue - mere blocks from the heart of Hollywood - that so completely protects the audience from outside sound? Even during the quietest piano concerto, only cricket chirps made it over the walls. For our Colorado friends, imagine dropping Red Rocks Amphitheatre next to Union Station and losing none of the acoustic wonder.

Next outing should be to the Greek - though maybe not for Disco Inferno. - AVN
also try the john anson ford. once saw the pogues there -- yeah, many years ago, so sue me -- and is still my favorite concert venue ever.
I've gone to the Bowl so many times this summer - Garrison Keillor, Belle & Sebastian, Flaming Lips and I've still got James Brown and Willie Nelson. I really believe it's one of LA's best assets.
The Cheese Store in Silverlake offers $20 little pre-packed food & cheese boxes. I've been meaning to give that a try.
To be perfectly honest, I just love being able to drink and not have to pay up the nose for it. You haul your own booze!
