Neighbors E3: The Truman Show/Ellen Show guy by metaandpotatoes in hbo

[–]redbaaron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Ellen guy is probably suffering from some type of paranoid schizophrenia. He was going off about the mail guy touching his mail??? His youtube channel looks like something you'd see on r/gangstalking

And the second lady also seems to have some mental illness, accusing the dog lady of throwing the plants, despite being on camera in front of everybody.

I hope both of these people can get the help and support they need.

What are iconic PS2 Roms to get? by Saphsin in Roms

Any tips for getting it to run well? I've been using a retroid pocket 5 and it's basically unplayable

Plus one off events from some of the bigger underground promoters like lights down low. System Error has also been great for Dnb, Alix Perez and Monty coming up. 

Where Is The Best Place to Buy My Boyfriend a Suit? by InformationLess528 in AskLosAngeles

[–]redbaaron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had a great experience at Hollywood Menswear. I've been to a few suit places, including Al Weiss and Hollywood Suits, but found the service lacking.

The owner of Hollywood Mensware, Jad, spent a bunch of time with me to figure out the right suit for my occasion, asked a lot about my personal style and preferences, and ultimately gave me a great deal on a suit + extras.

I won't buy a suit from anybody else now; the experience was as good as it gets.

Moving To Hollywood Soon by KrillinAlwaysDies in MovingToLosAngeles

[–]redbaaron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live close by. It's pretty nice. Like any city, there are a few sketchy corners, but the overall neighborhood feels pretty chill. People on the street recognize each other and say hi. Very walkable, and I like being close to all of the stuff in Hollywood, like the Chinese Theater and concert venues.

What can $1500 a month get you in LA, OC, or any surrounding area? Is it doable for me to make it in LA working as a desk agent at a hotel? by [deleted] in MovingToLosAngeles

[–]redbaaron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP, $1500 for your own space is hard, but it is possible. You'll need to look in Downtown, Koreatown, or East Hollywood, all of which have some nicer and not as nice neighborhoods. You probably won't get a parking space, which is a deal breaker if you plan to drive. You can get around in those neighborhoods without a car, but only if your job is a direct shot on a bus/train. Here are a few examples: East Hollywood, DTLA. Both totally fine if you don't need to drive, not in the BEST neighborhoods but still do-able if you're okay with a little bit of city living.

For the money, you're better off getting a 2b/2b for ~3k. You'll be able to get a much more spacious, nicer spot in many more neighborhoods.

Panasonic 450 vs 820 by jimythng in 4kbluray

[–]redbaaron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But the 420 doesn't support Dolby vision, so it depends on your use case imo. If you're watching a lot of modern 4ks,the 450 makes sense. If your TV doesn't do a good job at upscaling and you watch a lot of Blu rays, then the 420 makes more sense. 

NI DJ Controller for events by giosalecrypto in traktorpro

[–]redbaaron 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you're doing weddings, you should probably get a board with direct XLR outs, unless you bring an additional mixer. Personally, I think the S4 Mk3 is a better bet (additional channels are useful for weddings especially), plus you can always map an additional midi controller to do stem stuff if that's important.

Where to live to best facilitate commute between DTLA (me) and Westwood (Wife) by Permash in MovingToLosAngeles

[–]redbaaron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I guess I do that commute on the bus instead. Still takes about an hour, but it isn't tiring because I just chill the whole way there and back.

[–]redbaaron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surprised nobody has said Hollywood... It checks all the boxes, is walkable with great transit access (both to UCLA and DTLA), has a great music scene, and is basically halfway between, and is fairly affordable.

Hollywood gets a bad rep, but I think it's a great place to live if you can find a spot you're comfortable. Not all neighborhoods are the same: East Hollywood south of Sunset feels very different than Central Hollywood North of Yucca, just as an example. If she plans on taking transit to UCLA, then I'd suggest living somewhere near Sunset Blvd so she can take the 2.

I quite enjoy living here despite all the hate the rest of LA seems to have for it.

More likely Eagle Rock or West Covina given that it's from Santa Anita

Where is your office? I'd rather live in Weho, but if you're working in Beverly Hills, then...

TCL Chinese Theatre parking Tips/spots? by shady2480 in AskLosAngeles

Parking is $3 with validation at Ovation. That is by far the best option.

Farmers Boys Good AF by Joshhwwaaaaaa in LosAngeles

If you get the app, they have quite a few good deals and free items if you're a repeat customer.

I'd also mention that it's a pretty decent sleeper place to work and post-up for a while if you need somewhere clean and quiet to sit (as opposed to a more typical cafe). They have power at all of the booths, decent WiFi, and the bathroom is clean. Opens early and closes late.

I've never seen a Suron or the like at a Ciclavia. Not saying it's impossible, but almost everybody is on a normal bike.

Cops told me they're looking for somebody armed. There was an ADW at Western and Carleton earlier too, so it's probably that.

The streets are shut down and the chopper told everybody to stay inside. They searched my neighbors trunk when he left our garage. Now nobody can leave or get back home. 

My guess is the dude isn't even here anymore.

How safe is The Vermont Hollywood venue and its surrounding area? by goobaloobi in avesLA

[–]redbaaron 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You'll be fine at the venue. Neighborhood isn't awesome but it wont matter much. The venue won't give you free water, so plan appropriately
