Don't mention it, you see, many American utilities companies function on the principle that it's best not to fork over money to upgrade until they could do it cheaply and until there is demand QUOTE]
What kind of lazy capitalist do you have in the US? If there is no demand, create it! ;)

I think this is a little like storage room at home - if you expand it somehow, you will see it being filled, even if everything seemed to work fine before and you didn't actually know how to use it!

;)

So, what's your super secret tip on what I should absolutely do in my 2 free days in LA?

Lets see... There is Knotts Scary Farm at the Knotts Berry Farm theme park in Bruena Park, Shipwreck at (the Haunted) Queen Mary in Long Beach, Frightfest at Six Flags Magic Mountain theme park in Vallencia, Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios and there is also Disneyland and Disneyland California Adventure.

Most of the theme parks tend to close early during the Halloween Season because their Halloween events run from 7pm to 1am/2am. Knotts Scary Farm and Fright Fest are both good but they get crowded. Ride quality wise, Six Flags is way better than Knotts. I haven't been the the Six Flags event in several years so I'm not sure how good their mazes, shows or "scare zones" are compared to Knotts. I also can't compare the Universal Studios event to them either since I've never gone their Halloween event and I haven't been to Universal in like 8+ years.

The Queen Mary is fun to go to but their Halloween event sucks. It's basically a huge party and massive lines to enter into lengthy mazes.

Disneyland and Disney's Californian Adventure sucks and are expensive.

If you're into going out to the clubs, Friday is the night to do. The cover price is going to be costly ($25+), but there will be a lot of scantily clad women in them (no matter what type of club you go to).

Sanctily clad women generally sound good, but I am not really the "club" guy.

I went to the Universal Studies Halloween party already (it's part of the PDC in fact). I must admit I am not that much into Halloween and the "scare" stuff. It's certainly funny, but not very cruicial to me. I was in fact surprised that the park wasn't all that big... ;)

I am not sure if I want to go to any other parks. Maybe some rides should be interesting...

I've heard repeatedly the suggestion to go to one of the beaches (St. Monica and Balbao were particularly mentioned), so I might try some of that. (Unfortunately, I don't have much "beach appropriate" clothing with me, but it should be fine for a long walk at the beach. ;) )

Decisions decisions... I am not good at this "vacation" stuff. ;)

The water is rarely warm enough to do much swimming in the Pacific off of SoCal anyway; don't worry about it.
 

Yeah, both of those beaches are pretty good (they both have boardwalks so there is more to do then just go to the beach).

If you're a museum type of person there's the Getty Museum and LACMA. LACMA's collection is larger but the Getty is free (although parking costs $10). The Getty seems small compared to LACMA and except for the rotating exhibits, the Getty's collection is pretty much all European art.

Don't forget your puppy. ;)
Can't go wrong with that advance. In fact, I think they once did a study about the affect that puppies have on scantily clad women at Californian beaches.

Noooo! Why do I not have a puppy.

Are there puppy rentals available?

;)
