Blair and Kylie are in LA too!

After a brief few facebook messages I had vaguely arranged to meet Blair and Kylie today at 2pm. Stephanie had to go on a camp thing for work at 5am and I couldn't really leave the flat because I didn't have any keys to get back in so I killed time by sleeping. Unfortunately Stephanie's flatmate came back early (she wasn't expected until 7pm or so) and was greeted by a very groggy sleepy kiwi on her couch. A bit embarrassing but she was pretty good about it. I got up and went to the supermarket (called "Vons" what kind of a name for a supermarket is that?) to get some supplies before getting back to the apartment to wait to be picked up at 2pm. Seeing Blair and Kylie pull up in their sweet ride was pretty crazy shit. Didn't expect to see them overseas! As Stephanie was away for the night they offered me a spot in their van for the night. It was pretty tight so lucky we know each other pretty well and they are such good people!

We then went in search of tasty beverages. The first place supposedly called "The Gentlemens and Scholars Club" unfortunately didn't exist any more. We failed on the second place too as it was opening at 5pm, another 1.5 hours away. By this time we were pretty bloody thirsty so we wandered down the road (Hollywood Boulevard as it happens) and found an Irish pub to whet our whistles. At 5pm we went back to the craft brew place and tasted some fantastic beers. It was a true craft pub with info up on the walls about the different types of beer and the menu was a projector screen (so that it could be changed easily). They had about 20 different beers on offer. Lots of great hoppy stuff and some nice spiced pumpkin ale too. After a few drinks we decided we needed to move the van to a permanent sleeping position. Luckily there was a parking warden in the pub that directed us to some free parking nearby. After we moved the van we went back to the Irish pub. At some stage someone had the terrible idea to do Jager bombs, it was a good night with many a great yarn had:

At about 1am we went back to the van for a cheeky rum before hitting the hay.
