Big night out
Living in an RV for a month was great but the night life was poor, actually make that non-existent! So when Simon arrived and we said goodbye to our RV, Rhod and I had to remind ourselves that we were not retired 70 year olds and LA's Sunset Boulevard was the perfect place to do that. Simon had done his homework before he came out to join us and knew of a club called Whisky a Go Go where rock bands who are just starting out play. Guns n Roses, Oasis and The Doors are just a few of the famous bands to have graced the stage. It's a tiny venue and they had a line up of about 7 bands that night. But that wasn't rock n roll enough for us so we headed across the road to Johnny Depp's club The Viper Room. Unfortunately the camp pirate was not there that night, in fact I doubt he has even been there since it was opened. The Viper Room is also infamous for being the place where River Phoenix collapsed and died from a drug overdose. We considered a re-enactment on leaving but decided that would be inappropriate. It had a similar setup to Whisky a Go Go but the bands we saw in The Viper Room were much better. Maybe we saw the future Oasis! So we spent the evening switching between clubs flashing our stamped wrists at the doormen and generally feeling pretty damn cool!# posted by Rhodri @ 6:43 pm
