September 3

Getting sick of the crappiest internet available in the entire city that is "Global Gossip Network" from Base Backpacker. I decide to head into the city in the morning for some breakfast and some internet at a cafe. Strolling down the street I spot "Esquire Coffee buy something and get 1 hour wireless internet" ... sweet. I of course cant find the door as the entire store front is made out of glass and the panes all look like doors... doing this someone is waving at me... how random it is to find the two girls is beyond me but they point to the door and I walk in. I first order myself a nice chocolate chip muffin and get my internet yum to both.

Apparently they are staying at the hotel Katy was in its just the lady at the front counter is a complete moron. They also did not bother to get online for their first day and never told anyone they arrived or where they were staying. But found them chatted a bit and pointed them to a couple of different real estate places and they were on their way.

I headed down towards the Viaduct once more and checked out one of the plazas there. Lots of detail going on in this small space, seems to be a decent place to put on a concert or small play although it seemed strange to me that nobody is really using this space. It is a little out of the way of all the bars and cafes and more towards the expensive apartment buildings are. Maybe it isnt used because of that but any LA would see this as a great, very well designed, just maybe in the wrong place or bad pedestrian access to it. In either case the place was really neat with a big sculpture that I have no idea what it was but the wind swung it around and was quite cool looking. Also the boats in this area are big to point where Billy Fuccillo would pass out be their sheer size. These boats were all private yachts but they needed crews of about 20 to actually get them moving. Some had sails, some had other 30' boats hanging off the back like saying "yah this is my small boat what of it... not compensating for anything" and even some with helicopter pads on them so they can have family and friends over when they are 60 miles of shore.... yeah

That night went a bar called The Albion that had free sausage sizzles. Went over had myself a sizzle and a Lion Red and watched the most embarassing rugby game with the All Blacks versus Samoa..... score ended with something like 8 bajillion All Blacks to 3 Samoa... was like watching the New England Patriots take on CNYs Clay Panthers. Humiliating
