WEEKEND WARRIOR

So many places crammed into a couple of days. The adventure started in Downtown Los Angeles where we stayed at the Luxe Hotel due to my early meeting the next morning. The hotel was decent, the breakfast was superb and the staff was somewhat friendly. It was an okay time until I discovered the cleaning crew took the bottle of our favorite whiskey. Next, we headed to Malibu where we had drinks and lunch at our favorite watering hole, The Sunset. I am truly in love with this place but just wished it stayed open later. Next we went to some spot for their “famous” tacos and margaritas. I forgot the name but it was in this amazing little plaza in Malibu. Actually, I’m glad I forgot the name of this joint so I don’t have to link it because aside from the decent looking staff and delightful jalapeño cucumber margaritas, the place fucking sucked. The chips were stale as fuck and the chicken tacos tasted like tuna. I guess the trick is to down five to six marg’s before trying to stomach the food. After that I had to stop in WeHo to visit my BFF where we brown-bagged a beer and caught up on life. Next thing I know, I’m back in the car singing at the top of my lungs and en-route to Santa Barbara. We pull up to the Goodland Hotel and holy shit, it was like we were in a mini Palm Springs oasis. I remember saying “this is what I’m talking about!” as I browsed the decor and made my way to the bar after the beyond friendly staff checked us in. The hotel was seriously amazing and don’t get me started on how badly we fucked up the extensive mini bar in our suite. That poor thing didn’t stand a chance against us. I guess that’s what happens when you introduce two people who party to some of the best local booze our precious little livers have ever had the pleasure of processing. We really wanted to stay a few more nights but unfortunately the gal had to head back so we decided to get one last brunch sash in (and more drinks) before we hit the dusty trail. Fear not, we’ll be going back soon and I’ll bring an actual camera. I’m thinking a proper vlog session is in order to justify the vibe of this magical place.
