7 Days in L.A.

I returned last night from a fantastic trip to L.A. where I covered the Spring 2006 shows at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week and got to spend some quality time with friends. We managed to pack in several movies (What the Bleep Do We Know?, Lords of Dogtown, The Squid and the Whale, Umbrellas of Cherbourg), a few wonderful meals (Violet, Al Gelato, Casa del Mar's scenic sushi brunch, the delightful Alcove), Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles), glamorous drinks (The Otheroom, Ortolan, Maison 140, Arsenal) and even some shopping and culture. More on those last two items later...
