In-N-Out in LA with AOL-J
What do you get when you take five different people from different parts of the country and give them an AOL Journal? Well in this case, you get a mini AOL-J private convention in Los Angeles next weekend.
For the past couple of months, Andrea has been planning a get-away week with her good friend Carol. After researching a few areas in the country (not to mention a few bats of the eyelashes and big smiles -- sprinkled with a dash of manipulation -- from yours truly), they finally decided to take their vacation in San Diego.
Even though SD is a two hour drive from here, I threatened to crash their party if they wouldn't see to it that they come early enough to spend time in LA with me.
Then DiAnne threatened to crash our party on the weekend -- but not before I had already presented the idea to Andrea. Included in the gaggle of gals are our good friends Robbie and Gigi.
So the past few weeks have been filled with emails to/from each of us. -- To the point where I went to hit "Reply All" on an unrelated email today and was shocked to see it wasn't an option. That's because it was from a different friend, addressed only to me. Imagine that. A personal email.
Yesterday's round robin included ideas of what the first-time LA visitors might want to see or do for entertainment. I had previously mentioned how important it is to experience an IN-N-OUT Burger while here. Since it is not a national fast food chain, Andrea, Carol and DiAnne hadn't heard of such a place. And honestly, the first time I heard it, well, we've all had that visual.
Somewhere along the line, IN-N-OUT Burger became INSIDEOUT Burger (a mistake easy enough to make). "As long as I get to see the beach and eat a famous insideout burger..." The repeated Reply Alls came flooding in with descriptive visuals and concerns about the kind of food it might be. The meaning and the real name of this fine establishment was lost on some.
It's the best drive-thru fast food in the area. Accept no substitutes. If it's not IN-N-OUT, it's an impostor!
So please pay attention, this is important:

LOL. amusing entry. :)
we have an In-N-Out somewhere in Washington...but, no where close to us.
at my high school, in the 80's, it was popular to have an "In-N-Out Burger" bumper sticker. But, it's not what you think, they would scratch off the B and r on Burger. and well, I think you can figure out the rest....
:p -

Ok, I'M disgusting and have no shame?? Hello, Ms. Pot, my name is Ms. Kettle! Freee, I'd like you to take this opportunity to exercise some good taste. And while you're blocking Andrea from making any further comments to your journal <wheeee!>, may I link your Mahna Mahna journal entry to my journal?
My sister would loooove it... that was the only song we could "sing" along with back before we could speak english - we felt so "american" being able to follow along! Wowee, I'd forgotten about that one!
