if you went to Torrance in the late morning, you could hit the Venice/SM area on your way back up
Most def this is easy to do. Frankly, there's not much out toward where the house and High School are (except a big mall with the aforementioned Chick Fil A inside) so it's not much to see (classes are in session at the school so you can't get in and the house is a private residence so you'd only be able to drive by). Not that Torrance isn't a lovely place to visit (they have one of the last vernal marshes left in So Cal) but I'd say if it's between Santa Monica and Torrance? Choose Santa Monica, Go Santa Monica.
EtA: Ohhhh I love the Getty! Choose that!!!!
Thanks for the suggestions.
Though, I'm not sure where you're staying but, if you went to Torrance in the late morning, you could hit the Venice/SM area on your way back up.
I'm staying in the Wilshire Grand - which was a bitch for getting to and from the expo. Tomorrow looks like a public transport day if I go to Venice/SM/Torrance. Public transport seems to be the one thing I dislike internationally.
Spammer.
Oh shush, it's not like I get a kickback. Unfortunately.
Oh, in Allyson's recap of the Expo, she forgot the part where we were compared to Trekkies.
I was in the ladies room, washing my hands, and some of the women (I assume they were also attending Tim's seminar) were talking about Firefly. One woman had never seen the show and the others were encouraging her to get the DVDs.
Woman A: "Plus you get to see the whole series. They only aired 4 or 5 on TV."
Me: "They aired nine."
Woman B: "Wow. This is like being at a Star Trek Convention!"
ETA: Have you been to Universal? You could easily hop on the red line from downtown and go up there. There's Universal Studios, CityWalk and the IMAX theater.
I was called a walking-talking-IMDB when I told the people behind me that Alex was Ivan Sergei and said Ben Edlund wrote "Jaynestown". I now wear the title of a walking-talking-IMDB proudly.
And no one had heard of The Inside.
ETA: I did the City Walk last year but did not have time to do the studio bit at Universal. That sounds like Wednesday planned.
That was that movie with Russell Crowe, right?
Or, wait, maybe that Spike Lee movie about the bank heist.
The Serenity mule is parked at Universal. I'm not sure where, they moved it a few times.

If you go on the tour, it is parked with the other movie cars. I went a few weeks ago with some people from work and I squeed when I saw it. I'm such a dweeb.
I have photos of somebody who works at Universal who dressed as Mal and went and got in it and got photos of themselves took. They win at dweeb ;oP
Yeah, yeah, Tim's all great and and smart and nice and everything, whatever! We already knew that. What about my smoker's report on the Marriott? Helloooo? I'm serious about buying you dinner!
Jeez, you act like this thread is all about Minear or something.
