Where can I find good breakcore nights in Southern California?|102773

I am living in San Diego and was spoiled by all the great breakcore emerging in the Northeast. Does the same thing exist in LA or Southern California or is it just bland mashups and trance out here? I know I can find some in San Fran, but I am DESPERATE to find some closer, HELP!

  • The Vanguard in Hollyood has a good dj scene. Everything from jungle to deep house. The Avalon is also a good place, although they do host some cheesy trance nights, so make sure to check out their website.
    King King has a very postive, chill dj vibe along with Zanzibar. The Echo also has some good nights.
    For breakcore, your best bet is the Vanguard or maybe the Larchmont on thursday nights although it can get a bit ghetto there.
    Enjoy!

  • i remember reading that they had some groups around the Clairmont area.
  • What is a Good place to take My family on vacation?|100682

    hi i am 26 my wife 22 and my son is 3. I live in Tennessee and 2 times a year i go on vacation, Usually to Myrtle Beach in the summer. Any way im planning a trip for my family to go somewhere in the month of march, for my anniversary. So where should i go? I also would not mind flying to the bahamas or some place warm. We will spend 7 days where ever we go.

  • The Grand Canyon, Utah and Las Vegas. You can see incredibly beautiful scenery and then have some great fun. Las Vegas has really changed and is now catering to families much more than it used to. Utah has 5 incredible national parks. If you do Utah then go to the north rim of the Grand Canyon. It_s much better than the tourist infested South Rim. This way you can at least see Bryce Canyon and Zion national parks in Utah. From there to Las Vegas is a pretty short drive. From Bryce National Park to Las Vegas is about 4 hours.
    Have fun!!

  • :Las Vegas I live here but was a visitor for several years.
    This is the greatest place on earth and the kid will love it

  • Australia. Aussie Aussie Aussie Ooi Ooi Ooi. Best place on the planet. Queensland in March...More than I can Afford and I_m an Aussie

  • It really depend on what type of place you want to spend your vacation, whether you_re looking at the beach, or something different like in the woods, a good place to shop or whatever. If you really want something different, try the Langkawi Island in Malaysia. It_s a free duty island, have nice beaches, warm and hot weather, you can go island hopping, rent a car at reasonable price and drive around the island as you pleased
  • What is the difference between CharlieCard and CharlieTicket?|125785

    For the subway in Massachusetts (the _T_), the new system is with a card or a ticket.

  • A CharlieCard is a plastic reusable card that stores money on it for the T. A CharlieTicket is paper and cannot have more value added to it. With the Card you get a lower fare of $1.70 per ride. The Ticket is a higher fare of $2.00 per ride.

    If you_re just visiting the area, then the Ticket will be your best bet. If you_re moving to the area and will be using the T frequently, I highly recommend using the Card so you get the lower fare.

  • You get the Charlie Ticket if you are going to just ride the T once or not that often, etc. The Charlie Card you can keep, and add more money too. The ticket is swiped, while the card has information coded into it.

  • The Charlie ticket is a paper ticket with a magnetic strip that you slide into a machine. The Charlie Card is a plastic card that you wave in front of a sensor. Both are stored value cards, meaning you can put an amount of card and use it each time you ride the T, but the Charlie Ticket charges a surcharge, while the Charlie card only charges the regular T rates (and also allows free transfers from Subway to bus and vice versa). Charlie card is also going to allow for online account management (they might already)

  • Ok-
    Charlie Ticket:
    A paper ticket with a magnetic strip that is read on Buses and trains by slipping into the machine, much like a snack machine, and then it is given back to you with the remaining balance. You can get a Charlie Ticket by going up to one of the ATM-looking machines and begin your purchase. at the end of your transaction, a Paper Charlie Ticket and a receipt will print out. The receipt can be thrown away, it_s not goos for anythign but a souveiner. The Charlie Ticket rates are as follows:
    Subway-$2.00
    Bus-$1.50
    Commuter Rail-$1.70-7.75 depending on distance traveled
    Boat-$$1.70-Inner harbor ferry
    $6.00-Commuter boat
    $12.00-Quincy/Hull - Logan
    --------------------------------------��
    Charlie Card
    A charlie card is a free plastic card that provides a discount on MBTA services. In stead of feeding it into a machine, you scan it like a key card to get into a building, but the machine that reads it will deduct the fare and you will have the remaining balance left on your card. You can get a Charlie Card by asking any MBTA official, they usually have them in stock and they_ll hand one right over. Then you can go over to the ATM- looking machines where you would purchase a Charlie Ticket, and scan your Charlie Card to put balance on it. The machines are very self explanitory, and there are always helpful MBTA officials right there who are always more than willing to walk you through the entire process. Chalir Card Rates are as follows:
    Subway: $1.70-plus free subway and local bus transfers
    Bus: $1.25-plus free bus transfer
    $2.80 Inner Express
    $4.00 Outer Express
    Commuter Rail-comming soon
    Boat-comming soon
    --------------------------------------��

    So the cahrlie card gives u a s,all discount that could amount to something if you use the T a lot.
  • What are the benefits to living in Boston? How do you like it?|174396

    I_m from a smaller city on the west coast of approximately 600,000 people and am considering moving to Boston for college. Would the change be reasonable? Advice please!

  • It depends on what you_re looking for. Boston is a heavily college town. The streets can be difficult to navigate (since it_s a MUCH older city and isn_t as grid-like as other cities), and I know people who don_t care for it. It_s a great historical city if you_re into American history and there_s a lot of things a big city offers--museums, concerts, classes you can take, etc. I_d argue it_s not as diverse, but if you come from a smaller town that might not bother you as much (I guess depending on the demographics of your town.)

    It_s a big place, but there are tons of college students out there. Good luck!

  • I_m from California and went to college in Boston. I had a great time. Of course, it did take some time getting used to living in the city. I rode the subway, walked around, and just explored everything the city had to offer.

    The MFA offers free admission to local students. You can watch street acts in Harvard Square. The shopping is superb.

    I love that the East Coast has four seasons. But, be warned, the weather can get a little wild. So be prepared for some pretty cold and windy days, it can literally knock your breath away.

    Boston_s location also makes it easy to take trips into New York, D.C. and Canada.

    If you_re still having trouble making up your mind about Boston, do what I did--visit. I took a tour of the college and the city. I strongly recommend taking a bus tour of the city. I booked one from tours4fun.com. Here_s the link:

    Good luck, whatever you decide.
