The Vintage Arcade Games warehouse was closed, so we went to the Soap Plant WAKCO in Los Feliz. They sell (relatively) inexpensive art with "street cred" to twenty and thirtysomething hipsters.
Dinner was at Toi Thai on Sunset.
We killed sometime across the street at Meltdown Comics where I saw this statue created by an artist famous for working in filmed animation. After getting food poisoning from eating at Big Boy's, he created this "artistic revenge."
Last stop of the evening: the Groundlings Theater on Melrose in Hollywood.
