L.A. continued

OK So let me break down the Laugh Factory. Not nearly as big as we thought it would be and what was up with the MANDATORY 2 drinks, damn $45 isn't enough on tickets. It was aslo kind of ghetto but yet me still had fun. While we were upstairs waiting for the next show, there was this couple in front of us who smelled like a skunk had attacked them, and not matter where we went we couldn't get away from the smell, even as we were walking down the stairs to the show room. Luckily, they didn't sit near us or I dont think we could have made it. I tried to get my girl to sit in the front but she refused so we were in the second row. She thought we would get picked on if we sat up front but the comedians weren't that bad anyway so it wouldn't have matter, as far as I'm concerned.
So after the show we head up the street to the Hustler Store where of course my girl gets into with the stupid security guard there. There was this limo trying to do a 3-point turn in the dead-end road we had to go down to get to the Hustler Store's parking lot and my girl moves up to try and get out of the way and the security guard comes over and starts yelling at her, saying can't you see the guy is trying to get out. Then she gets into it with him saying she is trying to get out his way and dude should not have been trying to turn a limo in this small a$$ road. It was hilarious. Security guard dude had nothing to say back, he shut up and walked away.
We went in the store only for a hot second because by now it's after 1 which means for me it's like 4 in the morning. We head home and I knock right out, sweet.
Only to get up early again to do some more touring. Off we got to the Hollywood sign and it was a trip I'm sure watching us trying to get the sign in the background big enough for you to be able to tell what it says as well as me, without being actually close to it. It really didn't work out that well.
After that we were off to the street with all the stars on it and the place where the actors/actresses put the feet/hands in the cement. We took a couple of pictures with someone the starts I actually knew and off we went. By the way, we have yet to eat so we are all starving now and we choose this really good Greek Restaurant called Ulysses Voyage. The food was really good and I was stuffed when I left there. I had some zucchini patties fried, Tzatziki, hummus and a nice Greek salad and a Mimosa to top it off.
So after that we're off to Venice Beach and wonder around there. There we got o Malibu beach where we were going to have some crepes but it was impossible to find parking so we go to some ghetto want to be crepe place (definitely not worth the calories). after that we are off to Redondo Beach and that's where I see it, a real churro, what was so yummy and worth the calories, I should have had two of these instead of the crepe.
Now we are discussing dinner options, which considering we are all still full was silly but we do come to an agreement. I have never had Japanese so they have convinced me to try Tokyo Wako, but we're thinking way later.
We finally go there and have to wait until another couple arrives so that there are enough people at the table for the Chef to come out and cook in front of us. My girl ordered some cucumber/avocado sushi and it was delicious. And then I decided on the Filet Mignon and shrimp. All the food was very good.
So to wrap up the trip, Fri and Sat food was bad Sunday was filled with too much good food.
Over all the trip was a great success but too short.
