12/11   Hello I will be operating out of the westwood area this weekend.
        If you have some suggestions for bars/cafe/cheep restaurants/used
        book facilities or live music locations or other things to do,
        pls advice. ok tnx. --psb
        \_ There are lots of easy women hanging around Koreatown who like
           being picked up by strangers.  The only problem is most aren't
           Korean.
        \_ for entertainment: compute your water use while in socal,
           and figure out how much the american taxpayer spent to
           bring it to you in the middle of a fucking desert.
           \_ As if Hetch Hetchy were free, and not the destruction
              of part of Yosemite.
        \_ walk on Westwood and you'll see. Also drive on Santa Monica.
           Lots of restaurants and asian massage parlors. Westwood is a
           great place. I'm happier here than when I was at ucb -ucla ee guy
           \_ The PSB does not go to jack shacks.
              \_ "jack shacks" = asian massage parlors?  Never heard this
                 term but it's funny.  I love the motd.
        \_ Santa Monica is worth visiting. The 3rd St. Promonade area has
           a couple of interesting bookstores (one specializing in
           architecture/art books). The Main St. part of Santa Monica
           down by Venice also has a couple of good bars.
           And while you are in LA definately see the Museum of Jurassic
           Technology in Culver City: http://www.mjt.org There's great
           cheap Indian food by the MJT.
           \_ I heard about that museum on NPR. I hear it's a crock.
        \_ Didi reese in Westwood is good, cheap ice cream & cookies. there are
           two hookah joints right next to it. Forgot the street name, but
           it's very close to ucla off gayley. --ucla biomed guy
           \- ok tnx for the suggestions. keep them coming. does the art book
              location have photography books? also are they full price?
              these days unless something is truely rare you can find stuff
              online ... so things are price dominated rather than availability
              dominated. i am not interested in ho facilites. yes i appreciate
              there are a lot of restuarants but i was looking for suggestions.
              there are a lot of restuarants on shattuck between university and
              rose but what would you recommend for a fast cheep lunch other
              than cheeseboard and gregoire? ok tnx. --psb
              \_ Sushi Ishiin is one block north of Wilshire, (forget
                 the street name, I always walk) near Westwood intersection.
                 It is a darn decent sushi place.  It is across the street
                 from Palomino, if you ever get the craving for Skates-esque
                 food.  There are also a lot of good Persian restaurants
                 in the area, I think one of them is called "chelo kebab" but
                 once again, am not sure, since I'm usually walking, and
                 following someone else's lead. --chris
                 \- are the super-expensive sushi places? craving for skates-
                    esque ... ??? why would you go there for anything but the
                    view or unless someone else is paying? it's not awful
                    but there are pareto superior places all around --psb
