dude im from new york, and ive been out l8te myself, hahahah. i know what ur saying about clubs closing early, that is the only thing i dont like about LA. ive been to LA and i loved it, to be honest. I dont' agree that all of it is dirty or takes forever in traffic. I rented a car out there and had no problem getting places at certain times, just like here in NY. It took me 4 hours to get upstate from astoria queens just this past weekend, when it should have been an hour 1/2 ride. i drive everywhere here and it def happens on a reg basis. also i ve been to san diego and i thought ti was absolutely beautiful. i just liked LA because it was more urban and the people are nicer (although superficial people reign here in new york too, i got news for ya, lol). like i said the only thing that sux is that the clubs close down early there, i totally agree with you.
