    Do you have a car to get around? You're most likely staying in a touristy/yuppie part of SantaMonica. If you've got no wheels, then the best you'll be able to do is head toward Venice and hot the bars along AbbotKinney that have a little better vibe to them. If you do have a car, then I'd bet that SilverLake, EchoPark, and parts of Hollywood will be more to your liking... that's where most Brooklyn people gravitate to. To get anywhere decent, it's always a car ride away. As for beach & surf, LA actually kinda sucks. The best you can do is up in Malibu, or down south in Orange County and SanDiego. It might be tough to find a good rock show or even a hipstery art opening early in the week though.
