Observations from LA

Well after a good nights sleep (only interrupted by Richard, Peter and Helen skyping me around 1am my time which will teach me for leaving my laptop going) I had a brief outing to get some breakfast. For starters, the hotel here is having a "mad screaming loony idiot" convention which upon further investigation is a convention for Hot Topic. Everyone is either emo or covered in metal and tattoos (like the Blink 182 guys). So I wandered down to Dennys where the place is full of nerds in their forties all wearing various Die Cast collectors shirts. Turns out the Annual Hot Wheels Collectors Convention is on nearby also. It's quite scary seeing so many grown men who love toy cars, all in one place. Anyway apart from that excitement, I had a skillet with eggs, bacon, sausage, hash brown, spicy onion/pepper mix, salsa, tortilla, and bottomless lemonade for $10. There's no financial crisis here that I can see, all the working class are worried about is the size of their breakfast. I was full and I had the smallest meal in the house. God bless America!
