it's great if you don't believe all the crap you've seen on TV. when i first moved here i imagined hollywood would be this glamorous ritzy place filled with beautiful people but it's kind of just this trashy kinda ghetto filled with bums, asians with cameras and pigeons. there's plenty of glamour and ritz, you're just not gonna find it on the street.
there are lots of museums and every kind of art scene you can imagine, from underground shit like i go to where people hang themselves from hooks in their backs and flog each other as performance art to uppity MOCA folks who hang out and drink wine and talk about how hard it is to find decent help these days. there's plenty of nature if you want that, trendy shops if you want that, want a trashy dive bar or a rooftop bar with an infinity pool overlooking the city? you can have those too.
i don't personally know where the lefty, technohead eurotrash guys hang out at the moment but i'm sure there are a lot of 'em around. i would plug into a few sites that specialize in listing LA events and start going to ones that interest you. (http://www.thrillist.com/los-an... comes to mind) before long you'll be familiar with a lot of the different spots and faces and will be giving other people advice...
