Los Angeles was definitely a weekend treat. Leaving the Arizona rain behind for some sun on the beach was absolutely lovely. Also spending time with a good friend + new friends + a few old friends was a heck of a good time :-D
My childhood memories of LA were smoldered by friends' complaints of traffic, smog, and exhausting hustle and bustle. But after 2.5 days in the city of angels, I am now considering LA to be "live-able" in a yuppie sort of way.
First, the weather is beautiful (most of the time). How can you beat 60 degrees in May, when it's still 45 on the east coast and 100 in Phoenix? Second, access to the beach is fantastic. I think I was a beach bum in another life. Third, there is more diversity (in pretty much every sense of the word) in LA than in Arizona. [Also, the Hollywood cineplex shows movies in the coolest dome theater. Star Trek was 100x more awesome here.]
Random note from this weekend: I got to meet and hang out with a singer/songwriter by the name Robert (Bob) Morris [this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_(Bob)_Morris]. He has an album coming out this June/July. Seriously, look out for it -- my favorite is the Haircut song :)
