In less than 5 days I’ll be in Los Angeles for this year’s Adobe MAX.

The conference is Monday the 5^th through Wednesday the 7^th, but I’m flying in on Saturday in order to get some time as a tourist. I’ve been thinking about things I want to see in the day I’ll have on my own (with a rental car) and wanted to note them here for my reference.

• Kristi and I saw 500 Days of Summer on her birthday earlier this month. I instantly fell in love with it, and I had also just discovered that I was going to be attending Adobe MAX. There is a walking tour on Google Maps that I plan to use as a resource. It’s great because I’ll be staying at the Sheraton near the Fine Arts Building—why, yes, I’d love to start my tour there.
• I absolutely have to see the Hollywood sign.
• Similarly, I hope to drive up Mulholland Highway to Mount Lee for a fantastic view of LA. Hopefully the weather cooperates.
• It would be fun to see the Sunken City at Point Fermin. Also of note: Point Fermin is where Walter “spread” Donny’s ashes in The Big Lebowski.
• I definitely need to go see Grauman’s Chinese Theatre and the Walk of Fame. What kind of tourist would I be if I missed those?
• I need to scope out some restaurants to visit during Los Angeles’ Restaurant Week. I’m looking primarily in the downtown area for a good dinner on Sunday and Wednesday night, though I might be willing to go somewhere a bit further on Saturday night. Any recommendations?
• My travel buddy, Erin, mentioned finding Wahoo’s Fish Taco, so maybe we’ll lunch at one of those on Sunday. This may also be a good opportunity to visit Manhattan Beach.

Please let me know if I’ve missed anything that I must see!
