Cal-i-forn-i-a

I will be flying off to California in just a few weeks for Costume College! I'm terribly excited but I do have one small problem. I'm leaving at the crack of dawn from Ohio which means I'll be arriving in LA in the morning and the hotel check in isn't till 4 pm (really California?). So if you are in the LA area and would like to hang on Aug. 2nd or if you have suggestions on things to do please drop me a line at girlwiththestarspangledheart@gmail.com. The only real bummer is that, besides being too young to rent a car, I can't drive so taxi is the way to go.
