Be more specific. I used to live and work there and know it better than you might think.

Random music-related

- Favorite (most in-depth) music website: http://www.allmusic.com/

- I listen to whatever my friends tell me to listen to. (see Mr. Harsey, I *can* be obedient!! )

- I just downloaded "Clocks" by Coldplay to use as a ringtone on my cell phone

- Favorite concert: When a guy I loved took me to see George Winston at a live performance of maybe 60 people total

I play the piano. At first it was the result of a parental negotiation (practicing the piano for 2 hours instead of doing certain chores). Then I really got into it.

I'm pretty big into epic soundtracks. Favorites include:

Conan the Barbarian
Gladiator (& more music from...)
13th Warrior
Black Hawk Down
Passion of the Christ
Braveheart (& more music from...)
Lord of the Rings Trilogy
Band of Brothers
...you get the idea.


For older main-stream, I like:

The Eagles (favorite song is Hotel California)
Simon & Garfunkle
James Taylor
ZZ Top
Bad Company
Steve Miller


For recent main-stram, I like:

Linkin Park
Counting Crows
Toby Keith
Evanescence
Godsmack
Rob Thomas

First concert was James Taylor. Went with my Dad when I was 11 or 12.

I play guitar, some piano, and sometimes fiddle around with my violin.

Favorite karaoke song? That have to be Jimmy Buffet's "Why Don't We Get Drunk...", followed by the traditional Irish drinking song "Whiskey in the Jar".

I used to manage a local Irish band...that is one of my all time favorites. They'd rock the house with that tune and several others.

No. But I believe the smoke.

I know a good Vietnamese place in Santa Ana near the Westminster border, but I have yet to try the Vietnamese places in Little Saigon. It's on my list of things to do eventually, though.

It depends upon my mood at the time but I will listen to just about anything except Rap (makes my teeth hurt).

No new discoveries, I prefer to remain simply a Rock fan.
First concert-The Roundup at JFK staduim in Philly 1980. The entire parking lot was nothing but Harleys.
Best concert was the Doobie Brothers reunion tour of 86 in Tacoma.
I play a mean air guitar though!

If you ever get a hankering, here are some rec's:

Pagolac Restaurant - Beef Seven Ways, a signature Vietnamese dish with seven courses, these guys do a great job.

Favori Restaurant - The grilled fish (the whole fish, they bring it out on a platter) is unreal, there's usually a line though, no reservations.

Lee's Sandwiches - For a quick lunch takeout this is my favorite. Two locations, open 24 hrs, and they bake their own baguettes on site. Check out the menu, any one of the sandwiches is awesome.

Before I started school we used to go out there every summer for a hair show at LAX. On hold this year until I figure out what my summers look like.
