Today Nathan and I went shopping at a few cool stores in Hollywood and West Hollywood.<\/p>\n

First though, we stopped at Kit Kraft<\/a>, where we bought a few neat miniature kits.<\/p>\n

Then, we drove through the hills on Laurel Canyon to West Hollywood. We stopped first at Amoeba Records<\/a>, which is a huge warehouse\/store for everything CD and DVD. Nathan got some new and used Mindless Self-Indulgence and Buckethead, and I got a CD of Debashish Bhattacharya performing Indian slide guitar, which is very neat (I like MSI by the way).<\/p>\n

Next, we drove back to Necromance<\/a>. I got Aviva a spiders web embedded in glass, and I bought a Muskrat skull; Nathan bought a grey fox tail for his medieval recreation armour.<\/p>\n

We ate at the buffet at Star of India<\/a>, which was good if a little under spiced.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Drove over to Meltdown<\/a>, one of the biggest comic book stores in LA. I got Tank Girl 2<\/a> and a free copy of The Lost Ones<\/span>, along with two Adult Swim figures.<\/p>\n

Then we drove down Hollywood Blvd. so Nathan could see all the tourists. We ended up at Wacko<\/a>, which is a really strange bookstore in Hollywood. We both bought tchachkas.<\/p>\n

When we got back, we put “V for Vendetta” back on, and I assembled the d-torso mouse kit I bought at the bookstore yesterday.<\/p>\n

We got carry out from Stonefire Grill<\/a> down the street and then crashed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
