Man I miss LA...

Souplantation is still there...along with all the other places.

Yup, Souplantation requires preparation. Eat a lot the day before to stretch out your stomach, then exercise in the late morning/early afternoon like crazy. Get cleaned up, and an hour later, you could eat a house. That is the time to hit up Souplantation.

The knitting factory is pretty cool. Nearly all standing room, but it is pretty small, so you can always get a good spot in the middle to feel the vibe. (And being an attractive female never hurts - just the facts.) Last show I saw there was a few years ago was the New Pornographers (Neko!) Great vibe... It being at Hollywood and Highland is sort of wierd though...

Hell. Yes.

The one I go to always has a drivethrough wait of about 15-20 minutes (even when there's only a few cars in front of me) but damn, is it worth it.

Their spicy chicken strips are the bomb. The jambalaya is awesome too.

 

[oman]

jambalaya? my god, they don't have jambalaya in popeyes here

i feel cheated

sounds like you have souplantation down to a science, haha.
the thing that confuses me about the knitting factory is how they have different bands playing in different rooms???? or thats what it says on the site/show listings....

Knitting Factory has 3 different rooms, sometimes each room is a different event with a separate admission for each room. My band is playing in their "Alter-Knit" room next tues nite.

Souplantation on Lake Ave rules....much better than its inferior bizarro cousin Soup Exchange, which has probably gone under as I have not seen one in years

there used to be a once-a-month club in the alter-knit lounge called "par avion". that was a great place. what's the name of your band? maybe i'll check out the show. anonymously, of course.

i like the souplantation across from the beverly center. they have good chili and corn bread.
