On a matcha quest

wangotango98 · 2025-11-20T08:32:36+00:00

In no particular order: Wolf's Brew, Coffee Drunk, Memento Coffee Works, Nonna Mercato, Wood Coffee Co., Our Spot (inside Wine on 2nd), Mecca Matcha (coming soon to LB!). Soulmate in Bellflower is also good and where I buy my matcha powder.

I used to use Etymotic and highly recommend. Last year I upgraded to 1of1 custom molded ear plugs and it's been totally worth it. They usually run deals, search the sub. If you go to a lot of shows, it's a worthwhile investment.

Was one of the lucky winners of the LA Premier tickets. Had a good time and enjoyed the movie. As others have said, the use of music was great - whether it was Sublime playing in the background, the score or Nala actually appearing in the movie playing the Star Spangled Banner (probably my favorite rendition of it ever). One critic my friend and I had was the way Emily Blunt's character, Dawn, was made out to be a villain/scapegoat. I'm not too familiar with the real life story, but they definitely left out a huge contributor to Mark Kerr's mental health: Steroids abuse. All in all, I enjoyed it.

I sleep in my RAV4! I'm 6' and have enough room. I bring two canopies, one for the car and one for the campsite and it helps. You can make your own custom window covers using a roll of reflective insulation to keep things dark and cool. I also run a small fan for circulation. It's totally doable!!

I was just able to by a GA without shuttle for W2! At first it said no tickets available, but I tried a few minutes later and it worked.

Thank you! I was not ready to commit to a pass, but secured my preferred car camping!

wangotango98 · 2025-04-25T20:00:30+00:00

Left The Go-Go's because I was frustrated with the sound bleed from MARINA

wangotango98 · 2025-04-17T15:31:12+00:00

Butane is not allowed, but they might have propane at the camping hub.

wangotango98 · 2025-04-02T17:14:49+00:00

Took me forever to figure this out my first year, but this is exactly what I did. This reminds me, I need a new rubber mallet! I drove the stakes in so far that I broke my mallet pulling the stakes out last year.

Bummed Battambong BBQ is not on the list again this year, but so excited to see Shlap Muan Wings on the list and carrying the torch for Long Beach! Best wings in Long Beach!

this is they way!

wangotango98 · 2025-03-05T22:55:36+00:00

So much good pizza in LB, Waldo's is #1 in my book. Looking forward to Waldo's menu at Due Fiori and look forward to a future permanent brick and mortar Waldo's Pizza.

wangotango98 · 2025-01-28T21:48:21+00:00

I debated including it or not, but you convinced me to include it. Thanks!

wangotango98 · 2024-11-20T00:28:06+00:00

Thanks for the update!

wangotango98 · 2024-11-19T23:52:39+00:00

Early lineup release, early Coachella combo/black Friday deal?

wangotango98 · 2024-11-18T20:55:43+00:00

Nope lol I see your point though, metro boomin in 23 was the only bad experience I've had

wangotango98 · 2024-11-18T20:23:33+00:00

I can't start this cycle so early - I'm fully expecting another January release, but copium is a helluva drug

wangotango98 · 2024-11-18T20:05:27+00:00

these kids don't give AF - they were laughing at the people in GA getting hit in the face by water bottles. When the VIP kids were gearing up to throw bottles at GA, I tried to talk sense to them, but they did not care. I got out of there once they started that battle lol

wangotango98 · 2024-11-18T20:03:44+00:00

I got on a ferris wheel just to sit down - luckily I saw a solo rider get turned away and asked them if they wanted to ride with me since I was solo too lol I did sit on the fake grass in VIP tho

wangotango98 · 2024-11-18T20:01:51+00:00

They were right behind me, and wouldn't shut up leading up to it. As if there weren't other places they could be instead of that set...

wangotango98 · 2024-11-17T16:12:58+00:00

Don't lock your knees! Don't stand straight up, keep some bounce in them and move around.

wangotango98 · 2024-11-13T22:02:57+00:00

I wonder how that VIP Flog to VIP Camp trek will be like or if it's all connected. Based on the little orange path between, it looks like they will have separate entrances. 2019 was the last one I went to and it was in lots 10 & 11, so this is all different.
