Loch Tahoe
Hey everyone! My dispatches will be minimalist as we are in Tahoe and have limited wireless capability. Any time I go wardriving for a signal, I'll post my latest impressions of this wonderland. Arrived last night after a 11 hour drive to find a significant backup on the 50...one lane...10 miles..two additional hours.
Spent some time just across the state line in Nevada doing what else, eating and gambling. Two of my many fine vices I won't list for you here. We ate at Cabo Wavo, the sister restaurant to Sammy Hagar's joint down in Mexico and my qualified opinion is this should be the last. Stiff drinks offset by mediocre food, and the decor was more like a casino buffet than an approximation of tropical Mexico. Except the bad attempt at imitating the Hooter's girls by dressing them in bikinis. This is a ski resort, so you'll be hard pressed to find chicks a) willing and b) with physiques that get the most out of a bare thread of fabric.
When I say cheesy, I refer to everything. From the same, constant three videos of Sammy playing on projection TVs, to the bastardized Mexican fondue. The food was painfully mediocre. I choked a few bites of my cheeseburger before giving up.
Sammy isn't all that huge of a rock star, so to make himself the centerpiece and ignore Van Halen in its entirety is dumb. He has a Solomon's choice. Acknowledge his career with Van Halen and churn up all true resentment from real fans who hated him as a replacement for David Lee Roth, or ignore Van Halen and the thought is still lingering in the back of someone's mind, only now you've relegated the customers to hearing the only solo hit he ever had, I Can't Drive 55, which also shares the honor of Worst Song in Rock History.
Among the kitchy chain restaraunts, go to Hard Rock Cafe, if you have to have crazy crap on the walls and mediocre, non-referential food like Chuck Berry Lasagna.

Steve -
with all the coffee houses in LA, where do you recommend for a good shot of espresso?
