Wait until you go to Bardot-A-Go-Go.
I just googled and that looks amazing. Since I probably owe my name (most popular name of the decade in France) to 60s French pop, I suppose it's my duty to attend.

That's this weekend, right?
It runs from 5pm today until 5am Saturday morning, I think.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Isn't it way easier to find an apartment than a garage?
Shrift, does that translate into no Looptopia?
I've been mostly nocturnal all week, so that won't be an issue for me, but I'm afraid the wind is gonna freeze me.

I don't know! I need a nap and a clothing change, at least. I dressed expecting it to be 80 today, not 50.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah. For some reason. Maybe because there are too many cars in the city. Also, most garages I've looked at are actually too small for the Lincoln, which is an inch shy of 19 feet long....

Probably true in SF as well, although, of course, the garage would have way more room.

If you do go, give me a call. I'll be down there somewhere.
There's a secret rooftop party, too. [link]

Seriously? Dude, that's a bus.

Yep. There were a few cars in the '70s that were a few inches longer, but my car is the largest mass-produced convertible evah!
And it gets about the same gas mileage as a big SUV.

tommyrot, I used to have a self-storage unit that would've been perfect for you. It was an old Studebaker factory (the freight elevators were huge). Of course that was in Detroit...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've been made. The woman in the caf downstairs rang up my order without checking to see what the guy was getting for me. "I'm predictable, huh?" "That's a good thing. Means you are part of my family."
Great. Now I can never make her mad.
The elevator told me that the breakup (divorce and separation) rate in the US is now 40 to 45%. Does anyone know how those numbers are calculated?
It also told me that there's an emergency $50M plan to start fixing Griffith Park. Now I need to go look up the Catalina fire. I mean, after I get back to work, naturally.
