Default Maybe not

Well, after looking at the metrolink site and getting thoroughly confused, then calling and talking to a metro-link person and getting even more confused, I have decided to drive.

Metrolink doesn't run on the weekends so you have to take Amrack and you go here, then there, then over here, then back over there <whew>

I'll just brave traffic and drive.

What??? I ride this thing all the time on weekends. It runs from 5am to 12:30am Here's a good resource. http://metro.net/riding_metro/metro_rail/mr_facts.htm

You would need the Pico stop on the blue line. http://metro.net/riding_metro/metro_...system_map.htm
After Jason dropped his car at HIN on Friday, I made him take the train back!! He was pretty impressed with how great it all works. Even if you don't ride it tonight, you need to check it out some weekend.

Smile Well that was fun

That was fun..

We left early... Saw Jason and Jeff - Jason's Car looked good.

BBBT was hard to see with the lighting down low. The under hood lighting was trippy.

The big attraction were the Booth Babes. Mass quantities of people.

Cheers Amy -

Jada Toy's had a very tall Japanese model in red. Wow..

I was at the convention all weekend for the LA Marathon and saw them setting up the cars at the entrance. Mr. B's ride is one CLEAN looking Z!

After tearing down on Saturday night I decided I would go check out HIN until I saw the 2-mile line for tickets!!!

Lots of eye candy...though the average age looked to be between 16-22.

I was told by the convention center mgr. (think is name was Rasky or something like that) that they exepct 15,000 people for HIN...at $22 a pop.

I think I'm in the wrong business.

Thanks!

Btw, they were going for 25 bucks per person unless it was prepaid tickets that were 22 bucks. They made way too much money. From 5-7, the lines to get into the hall wrapped around my car and was friggin nuts looking. The crazy part was that the lines for tickets were still like 2 miles long and wrapped around the convention center! The line for parking went back all the way to the 110 freeway I heard. Parking was 10 bucks a pop too. Talk about scoring big if you were the owner of HIN...

Default Organization

Yeah, Juli and I got there around 4:30 and waited in line for over an hour only to find out that the line we were in was to buy tickets. We had already purchased them online so we had to wait in another line (only about 7 or 8 minutes) to get our tickets, then we had to go back outside and wait in a 3rd line for about 25 more minutes to actually get inside. They definitely did not have anything organized whatsoever. Once we were inside it was pretty cool, but it would have been nice if the lights were on so that we could see the cars better. Almost needed a flashlight to see some cars.

Mr. Twisted's was well lit though

Got on the train in No Hollywood at 3:49 and was in the Convention Center and had tickets purchased by 4:30...no traffic or parking hassels I will definitely use the train to get to Kings games from now on and anything else at the Center

I agree..too dark and too loud..but then I'm old

Eye candy was very much appreciated
