Title: I'm coming to America in May
Post by: Andy Harwoos on January 11, 2010, 06:59:21 PM
I bought tickets for Max Fun Con and I've decided to stay in USA for the rest of the week. Where should I go? What should I do? (I'm open to flying to other parts of the country)

I was just in that den of iniquity.  Is that the city we want as our international ambassador?

Well, the convention he's going to is in CA. I was going to tell him SeaWorld but I figured he'd enjoy the bright lights better. And it does have some history. Women could get quickie divorces out there in the olden days.

But I guess you're right. Especially since he jumped at the pinball museum idea. I guess I don't know Andy from Bath as well as I thought I did. I need to meditate on this.

Maybe this seems too obvious but... on the rare occasions when I get to LA I make a point of setting aside an evening or two for whatever's going on at the Upright Citizens Brigade and/or Largo. Especially the Jon Brion friday night gigs at Largo, though I'm not certain if he's still doing those.

The standard America visit is pretty much Grand Canyon, Niagara Falls, Mount Rushmore, Empire State Building, and maybe a stop off at the Space Needle or the Everglades.  Most of us yanks make the rounds the summer after high school, sort of like a rite of passage. Enjoy!
