Even more amusing is that someone took the time to post photos of the liquor store (all 15 of them) Sample below. More here.

Escapade Convention - for those looking to stare at the sun

The LAX hotels run a private shuttle to Manhattan Beach (and other restaurants/shopping malls). The Ocean Express. Details here. And a flight attendant review of the bus is here.

Escapade Convention - where's the beef (last Escapade post of the day)

There is a (shudder) Burger King near the hotel. But really, why bother when an In and Out Burger is one mile away?  A bit too far to walk (for some), but the Big Blue Bus will take you there in 10 minutes. And if you have a car, it is only 3 minutes away.

As an aside the Big Blue Bus can also take you to Venice Beach (1hr) and the Santa Monica Pier (30 min).
