    Some nice restaurants, especially down by the water (need car). Seafood/sushi is generally great around there. There's baseball, Disney (tons of families with kids), some nice golf courses. When I have a rental car, I usually end up taking the 5 up to Hollywood/North Hollywood (90 minutes) and hit the club scene. You can also do the studio audience thing up there with some advance planning.

    So it depends on what you consider "fun."
    a) I'm guessing yes to convention center, since her conference will be there http://www.aapm.org/meetings/09AM/

    b) Will not do disney by myself, as a 29 year old man. Unless I grow a creepy moustache first and secretly film myself being weird...

    c) Would hit nice restaurants with wife at night, but not myself during day

    d) Won't golf or go to ball games

    e) would do clubs with wife at night, but she can't stay out too late as she'll actually want to pay attention to talks in the morning (I'm guessing)

    f) studio audience sounds terrible. Just checked Jeopardy website, but they aren't currently open to new contestants (from watching the show I would say that I am at around the average level of daily winner)

      I grew up near Anaheim (in Placentia). You will need a car for sure, and be ready for some of the worse traffic you've ever seen. Anaheim has nothing but Disneyland & baseball. The beach isn't a long drive, I used to ride my 10 speed bike along the Santa Ana River trail all the way to Huntington Beach, which took an hour or so. (about 10 miles). Cali is worth seeing once.

        More background: I'm going to be in Italy for 11 days in Sept/Oct so the travel bug is not biting TOO hard right now. If I wasn't going anywhere else this summer I would definitely do LA

          One drawback : Oerdin will be in the neighbourhood
          With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

            Unless you have a lot of money for trips, I would save your money for Italy. I've never had the desire to go back to Southern Cal, even for a visit. I grew up there & went to Cal State Fullerton, if that gives you any indication. I've lived in the nice quiet Mon Valley in Pennsylvania for the last 10 years

              I like Oerdin well enough.

                That's the way I'm leaning right now.

                Wouldn't want to drop too much coin in Cali, and I get the feeling that the only really interesting things there are expensive.

                  But as I recall, Escape from New York was about 10x better than Escape from LA.
                  The Escape from L.A. soundtrack was quite awesome, however.

                  ACK!

                    I have many friends who love it there, it's worth a visit if you've never seen it. You will need a lot of cash to enjoy it tho

                      Depends how much you like the beach.

                        Sure he's not that bad, but does your insurance cover 48" pizza accidents ?

                          Surfing was better in Cali than here on the east coast, but the water is about 20 - 30 degrees colder on the west coast (it seems)

                            The water is definitely much colder, but that is based on the ocean currents.

                              The gulf stream really warms the east coast up. Surfing at Newport or Huntington in January required a wetsuit or being tough enough to withstand 60 degree water in California

                                Meh - go to Purgatory instead. I hear it's always warm and toasty down there.
