L.A. sucks, but there is a happy ending ...

Did the woman in the white "look" homeless?

This whole Himbo lingo and sandwiches conversation has me wanting to watch the Dan Cortese episode of Seinfeld.

Where was the wedding venue?

It was at the Westin Bonaventure. Nice hotel, other than the occasional thief wandering through the lobby.

Did not. .... in fact afterwards, Jenn and I agreed that something about her set off our spidey sense (not enough, apparently). ... She was dressed maybe in what looked like a running outfit, and Jenn thought, "oh - someone who went for a pre-dawn run," but she bought a pre-made footlong Italian sub and a soda.

There's a takeout place called "Sammiches" right across the bridge from me in stupid Maryland.

Always ashumed it was a colloquialism because I never heard it until I moved here.

I've heard elementary school kids say "sammiches" and it really doesn't bug me.

Adding the "ie" or "y" sound, while cutting off the word, always gets me. "sammies"; "footy" for football. They used to say "groundies" for groundstrokes in tennis. yuck.

Oh, downtown? I used to work at that Union Bank building across the street, a million years ago.

Yeah, dude. You are in downtown LA. Head on a swivel at all times.

That is for the lesson learned here for me. I was naïve and wayyyyyyyyyy too complacent in my actions.

"We're inside the hotel. What could possibly go wrong?????"

Also: The Girl in White must have had six-pound rocks between her legs, because I feel like it takes a lot of balls to roll off with a suitcase, four feet away from the owners, not in a crowded space. What's her move if we happen to turn around? Drop it and start sprinting?

Don't talk ship about L.A.

And I'd watch that movie with Vince Vaughn playing Justin.

Sorry, I see you wrote downtown LA and Westin Bonaventure in the opening post. I kinda tl/dr'd the beginning.

It has the oddest structure to get around the hotel. Open "paths" and it's hard to get from A to B easily.
