around LA

Just wanted to do a quick post about my Saturday.

Afternoon: Griffith Observatory

The Hollywood sign in the distance

Downtown LA in the distance

I like how the terrain looked here.

• Cold and shitty weather
• Quality time with Mom
• Organic dark roast coffee & dark chocolate brownie
• Must come back: 1) at night, 2) when the weather's nicer & warmer, and/or 3) with J

Night: V Lounge

Looked better than they tasted.

• Even colder and shittier weather
• Good company, including a wasted birthday boy
• LA Waters that tasted like grape medicine (Was that intentional? I guess the quality of its taste lives up to that of its namesake...)
• Not sure I'd recommend this venue. People didn't start showing up until 11pm or so, which meant it was literally empty for an hour after we got there.
