Seems like this would have been enough to get most people to go to a party at a bar in LA, without any lying or cajoling!
It depends on where you are and where the party is.
You in Silverlake but the party is in Simi Valley? Oh hell no.
You in Santa Monica but the party is in Bel Air? Oh hell yes.
The traffic is a nightmare in LA even on a Monday night. Taking Fountain won't work anymore after Waze got used up.
Like Yogi Berra said: Nobody goes to the beach, it's too crowded.
