Sadly, I actually haven't seen many non-chain coffee shops in Los Angeles. Starbucks and Coffee Bean have flushed them out, except for the ones the hipsters know about, but I'm not a hipster and I don't know any. There are zillions of donut shops and bakeries, but I haven't had time to iterate through them to see who sells what, so I just go with what I know.

And yes, I know about the hole-in-the-wall places. I discovered Carnitas Tacos Michoacan a couple miles down the road from my place. Good stuff.

You're in Los Angeles? d00d... I'd be eating at a new place at least once a week if I were there xD

I do look around for new places when I can. :D

I'd look around for Coda when I can ;D

You'd have to be in Los Angeles to do that, though. :P

I know ;A;

I'm about an hour away, but I can probably bunk in my friend's house :D ....and I'll lure Coda with...((what does Coda like anyways? I don't know what to use as bait xD ))

Uh... luring Coda is difficult, as Coda works two other jobs besides Trisphee and prefers to spend what little free time he has with his family. :x

Tickets to Disney Land *^*

That could work XD

*brushes off the tickets* SHINY! OH SO SHINY! *puts them into a bear trap* owo

._. growing up.. i was never fascinated with Disney Land.. am I weird?

Oooh Question for the staffers ouo

What did you get for the december holidays this year?

That's not weird xD. Lots of people feel that way. In fact, right now, if you were to throw a batch of Disneyland tickets my way, I would give them away in a heart beat. Now if we're talking about Six Flags hmm hmm <3

dk gotz luffs this year.

BATHROBES! And shoes with heels as high as the skies! *U* My parents let us have our presents a little early this year since we left to go visit Semi's parents the day before Christmas Eve.

I'm not fascinated with it, and I live like half an hour away from it, but I'm not going to turn down the chance to go for free.

Kami - oxo even when i was little i didn't care.. where all the kids around me were all OMFG DISNEY LAND! *foams at mouth*

LUFFS! 8D

Lucid - o-o shoes with heels high as the sky.. dun die while wearing them :s-shock:

Lady Gaga shoes? :D

Does Coda go to any cons?

I haven't recently, but I've been to a few. I even staffed for a couple. Last one I attended was BlizzCon 2011 (there wasn't one this year). I do a bit of costuming, although I haven't had time for much beyond making a pretty cool hoodie for Ginny last year.

Do you use plastics and hard material like that? owo

I generally stick to soft materials. I'll use PVC pipe as a foundation if I need something large that has to hold a rigid shape, or cardboard or wood or metal for smaller things depending on the specific needs, but beyond gross structural concerns I prefer making sure the costume isn't going to hurt anyone if you turn around too fast.

Why are all the questions for Coda? When did it all began?
:s-twitch:

It began since the beginning of time

lol, reminds me of Google Chrome settings xD

Uh, who is Ginny? :o

@Coda: ono You need to hurt someone.

@Ari: Coda's wife, and soon to be zombie after I'm done nibbling her brains out xP

You lay a rotting tooth on her and there will be Kami-splatters all over the parking lot.

@Kami: Lol. I don't think you should've told Coda to hurt somehow and then said that you're nibbling on his wife's brains. XD

@Coda: How would you kill Kami to cause there to be Kami-splatters? :o

we have dunkin donuts here ><

I take it you don't like them? xP

They began in New England, so we're more... stubborn about them up there. Anywhere else, it must fight for control. >.>;

we have lots of dunkin donuts here~

And if the tooth isn't rotting? O__________O *bounces up and down*

*gives kami the cracked tooth that was pulled out of dks head last year in may* ouo its not rotting but it is cracked.. like fine china

Oh man...I had a tooth pulled too xD. The one on the other side (same positioning) got a crown. A huge chunk of that one came out while I was eating a breakfast burrito. Originally those teeth were covered with gum, but the guys who pulled my wisdom teeth thought I needed those teeth (the one that got pulled and the one that got a crown), so they cut away the gum from that area. Who knew? xD

my one wisdom tooth took the place of the molar they pulled xD

I've never had my wisdom teeth pulled out. 8D

We've never had Dunkin Donuts here, but who needs them when we've got Tim Horton's? 8D

Do you have Beard Papa? :D

@Arikana: Spoken like a true canadian! :'D
I wanna try Tim Horton's though. o3o

@Kami: Beard Papa? What the crap is that? D:

@Lauv: Of course! I truly bleed red and white, both in essence and in blood. :D

You should, Lauv! When you come visit Canada, it must be the first thing on your to-do list! :P

Cream puffs...with delicious cream. They have strawberry and green tea and and and *explodes*. Well whatever flavor, they are all delicious. Perfect crisp shell and soft innards, not disgustingly sweet (just the right amount of sweetness) and makes you want to lick the paper for more of the filling. Better than donuts <3

@Arikana: *writes it down my to-do-list* I shall. Or have my aunt bring us some of their goodies. :'D

@Kami: D: Your picture reminds me of my failed attempt at choux pastry. T_T

@Lauv: You have a Canadian aunt? :D
That sounds like a sound idea, but I don't think coffee is that deliverable. XD Still, you should come to Canada regardless. It's awesome here. :D
