Hey guys looking fwd to the weekend! I'm beat from work boo shit
There's a nice little Coffee Bean inside the Ralphs on 9th and Hope, which is pretty much right diagonally across from FIDM. We can meet there if y'all would like.

 

[Purplereign]

Here's the address for FIDM. 919 S Grand Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90015-1421

It's on Grand between Olympic and 9th. 9th is one way going East-ish. Olympic is a two way street.

The Coffee Bean that Vasthy is talking about is on Ninth. There's also a fancy-schmancy Ralphs there.

I think maybe we should think about staying in the parking over at FIDM since the Emmy's are at the Nokia on Sunday, I don't know what the impact on parking over there will be. The temps are supposed to drop like 20 degrees so it shouldn't be too warm.

PS Jeff, I like the new Avi. No nightmares.

 

[Lila64]

If the Emmy's are at Nokia, there could be rehearsals going on, and thus more traffic. Just something to think about

Now, to just Google for the best directions

 

[dsmith2904]

I just called to double-check and parking is free tomorrow at FIDM because the school is closed. Does 10:30 meet-up at the school still work for everyone?

For those driving and parking at the school, the parking lot is on the right-hand side of 9th St., just before Grand. It comes up pretty quick but there is a huge "Project Runway" billboard pointing at the school that's a good landmark.

There would be no nightmares locked in with all the guitars. Just hours of strummy goodness.

Ruh Roh... Lila-san might be right....

 

[dsmith2904]

I've been to Staples Center before the Grammys and traffic wasn't any worse, there's just more restrictions on where you can and can't go (like around the Nokia Theater) and, like Diana said, parking may be a problem at LA Live, but we can park at FIDM for a while and, if need be, there's other cheap lots in the area.

And maybe Maddy and I will have our dream come true and we'll run into Mark Salling tomorrow.

 

[trojanchick99]

I love me some Puck.

I'll bet Alexander Skarsgard will be around too.

 

[lauramullen]

Have fun peeps!

 

[Purplereign]

this thread seems to be morphing into the hawtest dudes thread

I like it

 

[Lila64]

 

[dsmith2904]

And if we can't see the guys, at least we can see their costumes.

[dsmith2904]

[redkat]

Thanks Dev! I kept getting directions for the one on Western.

 

[Lila64]

I hope I can just park once & walk. Or repark and shuttle people & share the costs of moving the car.

I guess so Romi
