I'm a big fan of movies and live music, so LA is the perfect city for me, but I still need to venture out every so often. I'll sometimes travel for music festivals. These trips also usually involve museum visits, lengthy browsing sessions in record stores, meeting new people by joining random bar trivia teams (I'm really good at trivia), and getting a taste of some local restaurants. I'm a pescatarian, so I can't offer any meat recommendations, but I'm a pretty adventurous eater within my diet.

In LA, my nights usually involve movies and concerts. I can probably get you into some free screenings, and will offer any advice I can, particularly parking tips, about LA music venues. I like to go hiking, but there are definitely more knowledgeable people to consult about that.

I don't have any pets, but I love dogs, and they almost always love me. And I always at least try to win over cats.
