November 9th, 2000: Flew out of Sydney towards Tokyo, then on to Los Angeles.
This would be my first trip to LA and not my last. I got off the plane and got picked up by the bus from the L.A Adventurer Hotel. If you need a place to stay in L.A. then this is THE place.
It's 5 mins from the sirport, has cheap rooms, cheap food, and best of all, parties EVERY night with dollar beers and margaritas! YIIIHAWW!
Their website can be found here: L.A Adventurer

I stayed one night here, then got a ride to Union Station and caught a train to San Diego. Got in a cab, found a hotel, showered, changed and made my way to the Brick By Brick where 3 of my favourite bands were playing that night and I was also meeting some people from Yahoo! chat that I had been chatting with for a few years.

This is Brian, Me, Sam and Kelly at the Brick. November 10th, 2000

I got to meet the guys from Nile, Impaled and Incantation that night. Stoked much? LOL Here's a pic of me with Chief and Karl from Nile
