I'm pissed off and bored as hell. I'm thinking of going to the Bourgeois Pig on Franklin, but, in reality, I need some new environs for hanging out... like RIGHT NOW.
Actually, I need to study, so cafe / bookstore type places would be greatly received as recommendations. Thanks, y'all.

Stir Crazy on Melrose is good (so I hear) but I think they're actually closed and moving down the block.
There's a good coffee place on Washington that's a laundry/coffee place with free internet.
That's all I can think of. Hope that helps.

... coffee place on Washington. That's vague, have any more details, like the name or something?

i think there is a rad coffee shop on vermont right next to the movie theater in los feliz. the name eludes me, but its either next to the theatre or next to electric lotus, both of which are within a block or so of each other

I like Karma cafe on Selma (1 blk up from sunset) and Cahuenga
also there's another place 1 block away (cant remember the name) on sunset and cahuenga- catty corner from amoeba- they have free internet

I leave work in about 40 minutes, and I pass the place on the way home. I'll get the name for ya.
Oh, and tkmeister...I hate my job too and I'm in LA! Who's your friend? What's she do?

tk--sounds like that might be cool. I'm really east of LA, but chickie friends across LA sound fun.
- tkmeister0
she maybe moving to SF now.
That's what she said last time I talked to her.
She does all the cool architectural renderings and animations.

SF rocks. LA drives me nuts too. Cool. Your friend & I are already coolies.
- tkmeister0
can i be your friend???
i am thinking to fly out to the west soon.

Ummm... tk, we'll make it a 3-way datey thing. You, me, your friend, then it's all good.

...well, there goes that thought.
Alright, being inside is continually reinforcing my grumpage. I'm out to get some B vitamins and figure the f*ck out where I am going to go. I am most definitely going to eat a damned cheesecake, though.
- CincodeMayo0
Where exactly are ya or at least close to?
I'd say go to one of those Panera bakeries...not sure if they have cheesecake but they have free internet.

BTW, if anyone wants to be bourgeois avec moi, I think I am just going to "the Pig" which is across the way from the "Celebrity Centre" Church of Scientology on Franklin.
While I may be studying (I'll have a nice halo of tax & small business books), a small chat may be fun. I emphasize the word small. I should be there for hours unless I get bored of my surroundings.
Know that parking is scarce.

how is that place? i have only heard of the Pig N whistle...

5931 Franklin in Hollywood if you need exacts. Found out about it through a past NTer...
It's one of the top 5 Hollywood cool spots as far as the neighborhoodie locals go. I was there when they were filming the opening shots for the segment last Spring. Woo hoo. They have a Moroccan Room with low lights. Just a cool place.
Alright, for sure outtie. I want my cheesecake.

I guess that's different from The Pig BBQ place on La Brea.
FYI - the coffee place on Washington in Culver City is called The Rumor Mill.
