Take in a tour:



Go for a hike:





Drive up the coast to beaches and nature or down the coast to beaches and marinas.




And of course watch the Gophers play UCLA.

Rent a convertible and recreate the Entourage opening scene on Sunset Blvd.

Was just in LA recently. Love it there. So many things to do. If you extend your trip a few days you can add in things like San Diego, going up the coast, or Sequoia National Park.
 








You driving from Washington? If so where in WA are you from? I lived in Seattle for a year and love the PNW!
We live in Everett. Moved here over 30 years ago and love it! When the Gophers played at USC in 2011 we drove down. Not yet sure what we’ll do this time.
 



Anyone ever ... gone to the Rose Bowl and have suggestions about places to stay?
Are you looking to stay super close to the stadium? Stadium is not really close to a ton of other LA attractions. I would stay somewhere near the other attractions you might do and just drive out to the game.
 



It's our road game. Looking forward to it. I will say, when I used to travel there for business, something strange always seemed to happen.
 

My cousin is a department chair at UCLA. Will likely stay with her family and go to the game. Should be fun!
 


Liked the LA Coliseum in 2011, but next year:, come hell or high water I'll be there..................

C. Hynde is 72 two years ago and can sing without auto- tune and vocal tracks!!!! Sorry for poor Taylor Swift!
A few years ago we saw Chrissie Hynde warm
up Stevie Nicks and thought she was the better performer that night. For whatever reason Stevie wanted to sing mostly lesser known songs.
 

Don't choose lodging only because it's near one of the attractions you plan to visit. Look at the bigger picture of value cost and the attractions you plan to see. Everyone drives to their destinations, in LA. Visiting LA means traveling to different sites sprawled across the metro region.

You need to rent a car in LA. It's sprawled. You need a regional map to look at LA.

Economy planning can make the trip cheap, without a car, but it takes creative planning, such as a bus line to the airport. And then a couple Uber rides would be needed if you plan to do more than just go to the game.

If you're in LA you need to do other things too. Even free beaches at the ocean or free hiking. Or free art museum, etc. But it costs something to get around the sprawling Southern California area.
 

If there are enough of us going, let’s all decorate our cars with roses and drive them around the streets of Pasadena for our own Tournament of Roses parade. Sadly, I think that will be the closest we’re going to get to the real Rose Bowl game for a long time.
 



I plan to be there. A 90 minute drive from the house! Mrs. Sparlimb has already agreed to accompany me. How many buddies fly in is still to be determined.
Looks like GopherHole is going to be well represented!
 





Not sure I dare clicking on that link.
Just a story about a Porn star, a samurai sword and an attack at a porn distribution center. Mad that he was fired for “inappropriate behavior”…and to me, that’s the real story.

Typical stuff.

And how many pornos do you need to be in to be called a “porn star”? I think it’s just 1.

Typical Tuesday.
 

I'm going with a handful of people. Do tickets go on sale this summer?
