The expo was good - apart from having to pay a bunch of people who then spent an hour and a half plugging their books.
Tim gives good interview. Just finished transcribing it.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Was it nervous-making having a small (occassionally heckling) audience for the interview?

The small occasionally heckling audience, primitive voice recorder and the unexpected news from earlier that caught me off guard was all nerve-making. Was it very obvious?

Your hands were shaking. It was adorable, though. Plus! You got a great parting gift. I wish I had one of those.

You realize you're supposed to say "no, not at all, you were the very picture of calm and collected."
Anywho... I'm here for two more days and have done Downtown, Hollywood, Sunset, the Mojave... Any suggestions for where else to go?

Have you been to the beach, Jackal? There's Third Street Promenade and the Pier in Santa Monica. Or you could have lunch at the Sidewalk Cafe in Venice. You can get a table on the patio and people watch, which is always fun.

Venice Beach is a lot of fun if you're into people-watching.
I would be remiss if I didn't pimp eating at Dar Maghreb on Sunset, though it is a bit pricey.

Could be beach bound tomorrow. I also have a nagging inner voice telling me to go to Torrance and do the Buffy thing. But everyone else's nagging voice tells me there's nothing else there.

Oh wow. Hm. Farmer's Market is great. You could see a movie at the Arclight Cineramamadomathingy on Sunset. If you haven't been to Santa Monica yet, the Pier is lovely.
LAistas? Suggestions?
