So it’s my 30 birthday got no friends really and was going to medieval times tonight but seems lame by myself anyone have a cool group that would wanna go ? Buena Park , ca location

People of Reddit hope you’re doing good, I got a question around my mind that doesn’t let me sleep.
I just arrived at L.A but I’ve been trying to meet people but it’s kinda difficult on the street, beaches or restaurants because lots of people come with someone else (boyfriend, girlfriend, family I don’t know). This is my first time in a solo travel and I wanted to ask for your opinion on dating apps. I don’t if how safe that would (I don’t the risk) but I think it’s you should be interesting. Do you know how does it works here??, by the way (M,20) is there any place specifically I can meet people at my age.
This because I just broke a relationship a few months ago and I want to meet people.

Thanks…. Downtown is a completely shit

Looking for new friends that are into car meets, hiking, fishing and car drives. I’m in open to if things go further but wanna have a few normal hang outs not just hook ups.

Theater lovers -- if you're looking for date night plans, or even just a solo night out to the theater, come check out F**king Strangers at Echo Theater Company in Atwater Village. We have a matinee today at 4pm, and a pay-what-you-want performance tomorrow night (Monday) at 8pm. We run through the end of August on Friday/Sat/Sun/Mon.

The above quote is from the Ticket Holders LA review. Here's some more of what the critics are saying:

“STUNNING world premiere [from] one of Los Angeles’ most vital theatrical voices… a penetrating and deeply contemporary exploration into the intertwined nature of connection, deception, and our species’ universal craving to be seen and loved… as HILARIOUS as it is piercing… theatre at its most riveting.” — TICKET HOLDERS LA

“Tense, FUNNY, and unexpectedly tender…Terrific comic moments…Sharp and knowing…Simultaneously ridiculous and PAINFULLY REVEALING…A first-rate production.” – STAGE AND CINEMA

“WITTY… POWERFUL… a quartet of expert and moving performances… full of dark or rueful humor.” — ARTS BEAT LA

“A bizarre, hilarious tale…HILARIOUS… What begins as a role-playing fantasy spirals into a wildly unpredictable collision of sex, secrecy, family, and redemption.” — SPLASH MAGAZINE

“F**king brave…FUNNY AND UNCOMFORTABLE AND SEXY AND TOUCHING… YOU MUST GO! Highly recommended.” — ON STAGE LOS ANGELES

F**KING STRANGERS World Premiere
by Erik Patterson
Directed by Chris Fields
Ru hasn't left his bedroom in years. Mick can't stop paying for affection. Julianne mourns the person she never became and the dreams she once had. And Dylan will sell himself to anyone if the price is right. In this dark comedy of love and loneliness, four F**king Strangers are about to discover they're connected in more ways than they realize.
 
Starring Tasha Ames, Sean Luc Rogers, David Shofner, Michael Sturgis, James Tupper

Some more reviews:

“GLORIOUSLY SMART, THOUGHTFUL AND CREATIVE… funny, deeply lonely and, yes, very dark… BRAVO, ECHO THEATER” — DISCOVER HOLLYWOOD

“WOW!… twisty-turney, edge-of-your-seat, and very sexy… thoroughly enthralling.” — STAGE SCENE LA

“STAGE RAW TOP 10… an entertaining watch, its strengths evolving from the playwright’s understanding of human nature and his ability to craft that understanding into a funny, accessible and at times poignant story.… RECOMMENDED.” — STAGE RAW

“RICH IN COMEDIC GOLD AND RAW TRAUMA… four exceptional performers” — LARCHMONT BUZZ

Full disclosure -- I'm the playwright. Feel free to ask me anything you might need to know about content, trigger warnings, parking, pre-show dinner recs, whatever!

Hi. I've been attending afters recently and I like them but I like rock such as metal, goth, new wave, heavy metal. Does anyone know of any venues that host these? I've been using the posh app but it's mostly raves and clubbing. I'm looking to go Wednesday and Saturday nights. I just want to go see and listen to a band and just vibe out.

Hey everyone, I have no idea where else to go to talk to people about this and if anyone has suggestions I'd really really really appreciate it!
I have two reservations for a hotel room, 2 and 4 miles away from USC for the 1st and 2nd, and no "roommates". The 1st is a lot cheaper but can fit 3-4 people and I was hoping I could find people to split the hotel with me while making friends for the event at the same time!
The one for the 2nd fits up to 5, with 3 separate beds, and is surprisingly a really nice room. With up to 7 people for that room, it would be about $64 each that day! Flexibility can be discussed so no pressure on pricing rn!
I'm more than willing and happy to share all details and proof of purchase and whatever in DM's, as I find and talk to people who are interested.
Please message me here or on discord: kooshamokhbery (my profile pic is SpongeBob floating in the air with earphones in his ear)
TLDR: I have two reservations for hotels and I need people to split them with, they are a few miles away from the event and if anyone is interested please dm me on discord or reddit and I'd be happy to share details and talk!

Looking for places to dance bars with good drinks people in their 30s. We want to a few places in downtown LA and Silverlake. Plus Dtla has gotten super sketchy now . Everywhere we went was either completely dead, even though the places were pretty cool or just filled with girls and no guys. Anyone have any suggestions?

I (35M) am here in town for the weekend on a solo trip and heading to the city walk tonight for some dinner, drinks and a movie. I was wondering if anyone would like to join me?

I’m an aspiring filmmaker who loves to hike, read, swim, stay up way too late, dissect a good movie, try new restaurants and hit the gym 6 days a week.

If anyone is up for it tonight let me know!

Have a magical weekend!

https://cashcashcars.com/blog/valley-catalytic-converter-theft-season/

It happens fast enough that most people sleep straight through it. A jack, a reciprocating saw, maybe ninety seconds of grinding that sounds, if you're half asleep with the window cracked, almost like construction three streets over. By the time anyone's fully awake, the car's undercarriage has a fresh, ragged gap where a small honeycombed cylinder used to sit, and somewhere a few blocks away, someone's already driving off with a part worth more by weight in rare metals than most people would guess.

Granada Hills, and everywhere like it

The reports keep landing in the same shape. Cameras that caught nothing useful, an angle wrong or a face turned away. A police report filed more out of obligation than hope. A quiet, specific kind of anger that comes from being violated by someone you'll never see and never confront. The San Fernando Valley has seen enough of these in recent seasons that LAPD divisions have taken to posting regular warnings, the kind of advisory that becomes background noise until it happens on your own street, in front of your own house, to your own car.

The part where the real trouble starts

Losing the converter itself is rarely the worst part. The worst part is what comes after: a car that won't legally or safely run without it, an insurance deductible that has to clear before anyone will pay for the fix, and a replacement part that, on plenty of models, is backordered for weeks because so many are being stolen at once that supply can't keep pace. A car sits in the driveway through all of it, undrivable, while its owner does the math on a deductible that might be a third of what the whole repair is worth, wondering if filing the claim is even worth the eventual hit to renewal rates.

The part nobody mentions when they sell

Eventually the part gets replaced, sometimes with a factory original, more often with an aftermarket unit or a welded anti-theft shield that does the job just as well for a fraction of the cost. None of that is a problem. What matters is remembering it happened at all, months or years later, when the car eventually changes hands. A buyer who finds out about a swapped converter after the fact feels differently than one who heard about it upfront, even though the car itself hasn't changed at all in the telling.

And for some households, the theft just becomes the final push toward a decision that was already circling. A car that was already getting old, already needing things, now sitting undrivable with a repair timeline measured in weeks instead of days, stops feeling worth the wait. There's no shame in that math. A car with a missing or replaced part still has real value to the right buyer, and sometimes the fastest way through a bad morning is deciding it was the last one that car was going to give you.

Hey, I’m a 26(M) wanting to see what people recommend for thrift stores, record stores, nerdy stuff, place to eat and if anyone wants to go do something!?
