Hi Gang,

I am going to be in LA for a week in late Sept on business and was wondering what car type things there are to do?
Any shows, meets, Cars-and-Coffee type events happening? I will be in town through the weekend, staying within close proximity of LAX. If anyone wants to meet, let me know!

Thanks,
Dan

<span style="font-family: 'Georgia'"><span style="font-size: 14pt">Dan,

If you are into music, check out <span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-weight: bold">Amoeba Music </span></span>on Sunset. Huge and way cool. New &amp; Vintage music in all forms - neat old posters too. Just around the corner from there is <span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-weight: bold">Roscoe's Chicken &amp; Waffles</span></span> - oh my goodness is it yummy <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/drool.gif (who'd ever thunk those two foods would go together so well <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif! Was just there last week with the family and had a ball.</span> http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v697/mockingbird812/image-74.jpg </span>

Dan-

When we where there picking up the 409 we were able to make it to the Peterson Museum - not too far from LAX.

Peterson Museum (http://petersen.org/)

We only had the afternoon so did not do much else - but did make it up to Santa Monica pier for dinner which was pretty nice too.

Bob's Big Boy in Toluca Lake (Burbank) for the Friday night cruise night. Leno shows up from time to time. Great venue. Maybe check out a few hot rod shops: SoCal Speed Shop does a nice tour, Chip Foose etc

Take a look at this

SoCal Car Culture (http://www.socalcarculture.com/)

Click on the events tab and take a look. Maybe you'll see something that'll fit your schedule.
If I was going to be home, I'd bust the Caprice out for ya.

Dan, you may not want to come back. I love it out there. We have a 25 year old friend who is out there in the southern LA area just having fun and finding himself. Its a great area to have some fun.

Has anyone mentioned &quot;Cruisin for a Cure 2012?&quot; September 22 at The OC Fairgrounds in Costa Mesa off the 55 freeway.
Last year there was a great turnout, about 20 Camaros. This event raises money for Prostrate Cancer and has on site PSA testing for free. Gates open early, 4:30 am, but 6am is probably OK.
Flyer is at http://www.cruisinforacure.com/participant_entry.htm. (http://www.cruisinforacure.com/participant_entry.htm) If you would like to ride with me in my '69 SS, drop me a PM, and I will reserve us a spot beforehand.
