LA Santa Con ’12

So the day started like any other and… no not really. I was on my way to the first stop in Culver City Taking the Expo Line over in order to meet with the santas at two very near by locations just down the street and have breakfast. One Location was the The Culver Hotel and the other was the Rush Street Cafe. I found a near by Chipotle and ate there, and some other santas did the same thing. So after about maybe an hour and a half we gathered up and jumped on the Expo Line to head to our next location. Expo Park. The main place of Interest was the Science Center where the santas would get to see the Space Shuttle that I saw going up Crenshaw 2 months before. While many were looking at the shuttle others where either in the front taking part of the group shoot or in back playing around the Fountain in the Rose Garden.

After we were done with Expo Park we started heading off to our next place of interest in Downtown at the Westin Bonaventure were we partied it out more on the outdoor patio area and had a Punk Band play Christmas songs for us. Mosh Pit in all. After the Bonaventure we headed towards Hollywood and took the Red Line to Hollywood and Vine and walked over to 3 different spots, Velvet Margarita, District 13, and where I was around most during that time, St. Felix and we hung around other places in between. After that it was my time to head home. Hopped on the subway and made my way.

and as they say, nothing better then hanging with Santa all day

Alright, here they are, finally. So the day started off with me running a little later then I wanted to be, but I was determined to make it. Once I got to North Hollywood I hopped on the red line and quickly come to find some santas. They were dropping off on Hollywood but I was going to go to Downtown first to see if I can find anyone else there. What ended up happening was I helped this one girl I met heading over to take the train back to her town in San Bernardino County. Took some time of my plan but I can’t let her be totally lost on what to do. And with my help she ended up saving some money to so go me.

So I got off the subway to go look for some santas again and head back in to downtown with no luck. Went back to the subway again about found two more santas and we decided to head to Hollywood. Got off on Highland and found more santas and then walked over to Dillion’s on Vine. As we were walking over I saw a scientology stress test table and told them Hubbard died on psych drugs, hehehe, I’m so mean. So we got to Dillion’s and found lots of santas and all went crazy, it was great.

Next up was jump on the subway again and we all headed to union, again, and hung around Olvera St. Next trip was to the Angel City Brewing where so many other santas come to converge. Later on after it was time for me to head back home. It was a great day, hung with all kinds of great people and had all kinds of great laughs, I would totally do that again. lets just hope next timing will be better for me.

Where my Ho, ho, ho’s at?
