Go the bathroom, get a slice of toilet paper, separate the plies, crunch
each up into a ball, and put into each ear... just not too far in....
(don't want to be responsible for anyone who gets artifacts stuck inside
their ears)... Usually, this works me for me as something between wearing
earplugs, and wearing nothing. I have no idea how safe it is. And
sometimes it doesn't work that well, depending on where you're standing..
and if the sound job is bad anyway.

Yes. Nothing less than $5.00. Woohoo! Hope you have cash.

California is the proud state of the nation that bars smoking inside ALL
"public" buildings, period. Maybe one day, Californicaters won't be
allowed to smoke in their own living space, but the lawmakers have been a
little slow getting to that. But there's a little area outside the El Rey
where smokers (usually, half the attendees) cram, rub shoulders, etc. to
get their fix. But I don't think they let you DRINK outside in the
smoking pit.

Wilshire Blvd. at night is pretty unsubstantial, last I checked. Save it
for the beach... or Canter's Jewish deli (open 24 hours a day, except on
late night before the Sabbath, where they close for a few hours) while
looking at the ceiling.
Hey Brian, see you in the *pit*. I'll be the one crowd surfing and slam
dancing during the show. If you can't take the heat, move the fuck away.
:)
(I'll be coming from out of state too, for a convention in L.A.)
