Anybody live near LA?!

No -- Pittsburgh. But to be honest, I'm seriously considering taking a flight to LA and spending the weekend. My fiancee gave me the "OK," and I can get a round-trip ticket for $280. It would be a great get-away weekend, and what better reason to go than to see Ray B. give a reading? I have a little money saved up, and it sounds darn tempting.

What do you think...Should I do it?

Best,
Greg

Yes, definitely. And don't think about it too much, just do it. It will be a blast!!

Thanks to my lovely wife-to-be, I'm officially going! She got me a round-trip ticket for my birthday.

I think this will be quite an adventure, and I'm really looking forward to it. I've never been to LA before, but more than that, I can't wait to see Mr. Bradbury!

Thanks very much! What a beautiful area. I was amazed to learn that the reading is less than six miles from LAX (Airport), so getting there will be a breeze once I arrive. I didn't know Venice was so close to the heart of things!

I'll let you know how it goes and be sure to take some pictures.

Well, Greg, how did it go?
