Go Big or Go Home!

It's Kerri again. Our last day in L.A. was pretty eventful. We began the day with a drive to the Santa Monica Pier where we enjoyed some of the most beautiful scenery California has to offer. We strolled around for a while. "Excuse me sir? Would you mind taking a picture of us?" Rachel asks. He actually did a pretty good job considering he had only one eye. We then hit up Mariosol, the restuarant on the pier, for some drinks, lunch and complimentary postcards with our picture on them.

We then continue down the coastline to Venice Beach. It looks just like it did in Lost Boys. At first I think I love this place. It is completely filled with hippies and rastafari selling their homemade crafts. We see Muscle Beach and all the tennis, basketball and volleyball courts. By this time it starts getting extremely cold, so we decide we need to buy souvenir sweatshirts. Corrine and I get Venice Beach Lifeguard hoodies and Rachel chooses a LAPD one. At this point we have been walking around for about three hours. We are freezing and exhausted and start to realize that all these cool people in Venice are actully completely fucked up on drugs. We smell the strongest stench of marijauna but it was the meth addicts that were really frightening. Everyone seemed homeless as well. The spot where they sold their goods was actually their home. After an altrication with one CRAZY screaming obscenities and following us, we decide it is time to head for the car.

On the agenda for the evening was dinner with Corrine's old friend, Ronald. He was running a tad late so we head back to Saddle Ranch to have a drink and wait. A complimentary shot and a double red bull vodka later, Ronnie shows up. We head to a mexican place on Hollywood Boulevard, Loteria. The food was absolutely amazing.

We are right next to Ashton Kutcher's restaurant, Geisha House so decide to stop in there for a drink and to check out the joint. Ronnie fills us in on the fact that the upstairs bar is the hotspot. We head up there and quickly realize that it is some sort of rappers birthday party. They had their dinner table in the middle of the dance floor with several hot chicks dancing around them, including us. They were wearing white robes. One was embroidered with the acronyms LMFAO. We post up right next to them and take our signature drink, Sake bombs. After the rappers finished up their meals they put on a performance. It was pretty good but apparently not good enough because I seriously could not tell you who the hell they were. We leave to go meet Tyler at the House of Blues when it was spotted. Our first celebrity sighting, Frankie DelGado of The Hills! Well some might not consider him a celebrity but whatevs.

So we head to House of Blues but couldn't go in bacause Tyler informed us that a punk band, GWAR, had played there that night.  Apparently the entire crowd was drenched in kool aid.  We decide to head back to old trusty, Saddle Ranch.  Rachel buys some booty shorts and again wows the crowd with her bull riding skills.  For those of you dying to see this spectacle...it was videotaped and will be posted later.  I took those shorts from Rachel and put them on in the middle of the bar.  I chicken out at the last second.  

Corrine decides to take a snooze at this point, while Rachel and I make some friends and head to one final destination.  I will leave that to your imagination but keep in mind that it is about 2 am at this point and there is not much open...
