as an aussie ex-pat over here, perhaps i can shed some light on some places i have enjoyed, even by myself.

- dinner: matsahisu (nobu's flagship, great sushi / sake)

- dinner / party: hollywood social (so hot right now... blah blah...)

- dinner / lunch: ammo (good food, cool celebs)

- brunch: urth café (an institution)

- lunch / breakfast: chateau marmont courtyard (it's like you're staying there)

- martinis and beluga: beverly hills hotel bar (check out those hair-pieces)

- cocktails: sky bar for dusk (ideally take a date, get a window seat)

- shopping: fred segal, maxfield and barney's (designer wear you can't get in oz)

oh, and i second the lautner recommendation.

also:

b store, on saville row next to oki-ni. for peter jensen, siv stodal, ute ploier et al...

no-one, shoreditch: http://www.no-one.co.uk

they have similar shoes at what comes around goes around - $80. rip off, imo.

try: http://www.labourandwait.co.uk - they're great but out of stock at the moment...

happy valley tuesdays is fun - a bit gay but many hotties. sundays at sway is good. any night downstairs at la esquina / the corner seems good. the real fun still seems who you know though.

lol.

Misshapes...

yeah, wow that's bad.

saturdays suck...

movida last friday was good - 80s italo night.

Anyone tried N,N-DIMETHYLTRYPTAMINE?

For genuine intellectual reasons? Curious of its use for creative inspiration, not in a hippy or druggy way.

misshapes, but you won't get in.

excellent, misshapes it is.

ibiza is great if you avoid the scum.

don't bother with san antonio except for sa capella (the restaurant in the 16th century monastery, one of the best in spain. have a gazpacho if you're broke.) and café mambo for sunset. do pacha wednesday night / space sunday afternoon / dc10 monday morning. pacha vip is worth paying for if you can get 5 people together. spend your days at sa trinxa - ses salines, past the airport.

nyc is the choice of those 3 destinations, by far.

hmm... coney island looks a bit too indie for me. too much rock hurts my ears.

anyone been to P.S.1 warm up on a saturday this summer?

cheers.
