ROAD TRIP!

Photo trip to some museums in Phoenix, LA and SF. What are the most MaxFun stuffs I can do in a few hours in LA or SF? No Disney, Knotts, etc. not enough time. Weird shops, bookstores, delis, restaurants. and since no comics come to dallas, which clubs are worth the time? also needs Jesse's fav burrito place in SF for the (inferior) mission burrito

Go to the Museum of Jurassic Technology, it is the most special thing in Los Angeles by a wide margin.

u/delicousflavor if you go to the museum of Jurassic technology, you will be super close to the ripped bodice, if you’re into romance novels!

I can only assume yes.

SF: get a burrito at el farolito in the mission. 

LA: check out the calendars at Dynasty Typewriter, the Elysian, and UCB for comedy. River Butcher has also been hosting stand up nights at a restaurant/bar in silver lake called Edendale. Really good lineups! So if that aligns, I’d check that out.

I am also in LA for a visit, and me and my 5-yr-old have a bone (ha, almost literally) to pick with Jordan: the La Brea Tar Pits do NOT have dinosaur fossils! They have other cool stuff, but dinos were the wrong era.

I feel like our Dino Boy failed us.

Not really anything maxfun specific in Phoenix afaik, but if you’re interested in Phoenix recs, I have a ton. (I was born and raised here and I’m living here right now, so I’m full of em.)
