Beverly 1 #28 April 8, 2010 Thanks for all the suggestions, I will check them out. I would prefer to buy something though, renting feels like a waste of money. I think true friendship is under-rated Twitter: @Dreamskygirlsa Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You know you live in OB when: The cops ask you for your ID daily! You are wearing your Levi Jacket and long jeans in July because of the fog bank even though it's 110* on the other side of the hill!! You hear the sound of waves crashing on the cliff out your bedroom window. The cops ask you for your ID daily!! There's more sand in your livingroom than on the beach. Did I say, the cops ask you for your ID daily??SCR-2034, SCS-680 III%, Deli-out Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I first moved to OB the fog thing got me big time, I was in my winter Levis, hopped in my Jeep to head out to work which was in El Cajon...where it was 98 degrees! Spent the whole day at work sweatin' like Brittney Spears at a spelling bee! ...I worked nights so I'd always be coming back to OB about the time the bars closed, there was almost always a drunk check right there at the end of hwy 8. I got to kidding around with a female officer 3rd or 4th time she checked me for booze at the stop...we ended up dating for a few months and I never got hassled again! ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GARYC24 3 #31 April 8, 2010 Check out Camarillo, Ca. Close to quite a few smaller venues as well. Lots of places for sale around here. It would be worth a look. Off topic here, I plan on getting tix to see Mick Taylor/David Knoefler (spelling ?) at the Canyon Club I was thinking of getting 2 tickets and taking someone, include dinner (my treat) May 14 (friday) If anyone is interested pm me! Just thought I'd add this here while I'm typing. Gary Calhoun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nightingale 0 #32 April 8, 2010 QuoteI am wanting to get a yank opinion on nice places to stay (live) in California. Needs to be close to a live music scene. Fullerton's nice. Lots of live music in the bars and coffeehouses, and some good bands have come out of OC (No Doubt, Lit, Offspring, Rage Against the Machine, Social Distortion, Sugar Ray), and of course, the Fender guitar was created in Fullerton. Jeremy from Lit can be seen regularly at the SlideBar Cafe downtown. If you want to be close to downtown LA for more indie music type concerts as well as the Hollywood Bowl, there's Silver Lake, Santa Monica, Westchester, Manhattan Beach, Culver City, Redondo Beach. La Mirada is a decent suburb and about in the middle between LA and Fullerton, drive-time wise. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

airtwardo 7 #34 April 8, 2010 Ocean Beach, CA. 92107 The last 'small town feeling, hippie beach town in Ca.' When driving cross country, ya take rt.80...'till ya pick up rt.8 and follow it to the left end of the country, THAT's Ocean Beach! ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StangMan90 0 #35 April 8, 2010 Sacramento is nice and affordable. Lots of live music, SF Bay Area is 90 miles away with lots more live music. Reno and Tahoe are a couple of hours away and there are a bunch of DZs within reasonable distance. I've lived down south and Norcal is way better in my opinion (but that's just me). Socal is okay if you don't mind smoggy air, horrible traffic, asshole drivers, plastic surgery freaks and inflated egos. Joesimplify Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
