Love your beautiful photo. While in LA I recommend you check out Whiskey Go Go this establishment has been in business since the early 60s. And every major rock band you can think of has played at the Whiskey Go Go. Every year I have a small New Years party at my farm. It's always a good time, good friends, good food and good weed.
A trip to LA sounds like a lot of fun! I'm excited for you! Personally, I'm looking forward to a nice, quiet, peaceful transition to the new year from the comfort of my own home.
