Tick Tock, Tick Tock. Off To LA Thursday

I’m heading off to LA on Thursday at the crack of dawn (I wish I was being metaphoric!).

You’d think that at this stage I’d be that bit better organised, but of course I’m not. I’ve organised hotels, my pickup from LAX and all that stuff. I’ve even got myself a fistful of dollars, albeit a small one.

What I haven’t done, yet again, is even start to pack my bag.

I guess I could say that I’ve mentally packed it, but you can’t wear your thoughts !!

So it’s another evening of chaos tomorrow while I try desperately to ram a week’s worth of clean clothes into my poor unsuspecting suitcase!

I was looking into things to do in LA before DomainFest and I still haven’t made up my mind.

Wicked is still playing in Hollywood, but I’ve heard very mixed reviews.

The other thing that attracted my attention was, naturally enough, the cinema. But it’s January, so it’s not exactly the best time of the year to see films. There are a few upcoming releases that I’d like to see, but they’re all being released after I leave. Of course I’m sure there are plenty of films still showing that I wouldn’t mind seeing and if nothing else the cinemas are bigger and cheaper in Los Angeles than they are in Ireland.

Another attraction that caught my eye was the Star Trek Expo, which is starting its US tour this Friday. It looks like it could be great fun if you’re a Trekkie. If nothing else I’m sure there’d be plenty of characters to see outside. All I need to do is work out how to get myself from downtown Hollywood to Long Beach without spending a fortune…

Alternatively there’s always Warner Brothers.. I was hoping to make a pilgrimage there in November when I was over for the ICANN meeting, but I ended up going to Universal Studios instead.

At least I can safely say I’m truly spoilt for choice!
