Yes indeedy! In two days, we're going to have our SEVENTH Southland-wide meetup at Rush Street, at 9546 Washington Boulevard in Culver City, at around 1:30 PM. They can accommodate large parties like ours, and if we can assemble 25 of us, Shockwave can arrange that they'll open the lounge for us. I went over there yesterday to see how the transit system worked (it's easy: the Red line to 7th/Metro, and then the Expo Line to the last stop), and I'll tell you about it beneath the divider doodle.
I'm actually glad I reconnoitered, because it isn't that obvious, and you can't see the restaurant from the Culver City station. When you leave the station you're at Venice and Robertson. Walk down Robertson (under the bridge) to Washington Boulevard, cross the street to the south side, make a right and continue walking west. Washington becomes a mall and Rush Street is toward the end of it.
I intended to have lunch and to post some food pr0n, but as you can see from the thousand-word picture below, that didn't happen.
Yes, that's the film industry using Rush Street as a location. This is not entirely an unfamiliar sight to Angelenos, and I'm not sorry I went over because now I know where the restaurant is and how to get there.
This is especially for YOU, Westsiders! As usual, kosmail me if you plan to attend, or indicate that you will be attending in the comments.
