Another Epic Night

Imagine being in a world where the streets are empty at night and a place that would normally be filled with life while the sun is out be void of life during the night when the fog lays a haunting film of mystery into your world of emptiness between the skyscrapers. That was the world I was in with Danny, Tin, Morgan, Aki, and German. Two cars, five guys, one epic adventure.

It started at around 8PM when Tin and I were hungry and wanted to eat some place cheap after another day at school and having a party in the study room with Peter and German along with the normal group of Tin and Morgan. Tin and I decided we wanted some place cheap so we wanted to hit up a Pho restaurant. In our midst of travelling, we called Morgan after picking up German and that's how our adventure kicked off.

We went to El Camino to meet up with Morgan and we took two cars to Tozai plaza to go to the pho restaurant. When we arrived, he suggested an even cheaper place at Nijiya. We went on over to there only to discover that the place that sold this $3 soba was closed. We ended up buying croquettes and bread and shumai to fill us up. That was round one.

We then discussed a plan for later that evening. By then it was 10:30. We would meet up later to hit up a Japanese crepe place over by Diamond Bar. I split with Tin and Morgan and took German with me. Went back to my house to pick some stuff up, I told my mom I'd be home by 1AM. German picked up some cash and we went to Morgan's house and met up with Tin while Morgan was inside his house taking a shower.

I left my car there and went one car with Morgan to pick up Aki. From there, we began our journey to the crepe place. While on Artesia heading over to the 405S, Danny calls me and asks me where I was. I told him where we were at the time and he turned out to be a block behind us. So we took the 405S > 110N > 10E > 60E . Danny eventually caught up with us, though Morgan insisted on trying to get to 120mph via cruise control buttons.

We arrived at the crepe place to find that it was closed.

Eventually we found ourselves at a Denny's after a series of races between Danny and Morgan's cars. Two lane streets that are completely empty = heaven.

At the Denny's to name a few things that went down were Morgan eating a chicken wing along with the bone and swallowing it, a wonderful soup out of the chicken wing bowl, and Morgan messing his eyes up while trying to make two forks look like three.

More races ensued and we ended up in Downtown LA. By this time it was around 2. The streets were completely empty and not many people were walking on the sidewalk. It was a creepy kind of feeling, but at the same time it was a great experience to see how empty downtown was.

While there, we visited over five gas stations because Morgan wanted to buy gas for his car.

We visited the spiral parking structure which is like the spiral in Tokyo Drift. Tons of fun there!

We finally ended up at a pho restaurant and I had some pho.

We went to a billiards place because Morgan wanted to play pool. In the place there was about ten tables there. Aki asked how much it was, the guy said $12 an hour. However, he said that "There was no parking," though we were already parked? We came to believe he didn't want us there because we were not Korean. Morgan went down to his car and pulled out all the rotting oranges from his trunk (about 15) and left them in the parking lot.

More races and more near death experiences occured and we headed back towards Redondo, but got off on an offramp way far away from Redondo. We hit Crenshaw and even more races happened.

The night was beginning to come to an end. The time was then 4AM. We dropped off Tin first and we all went home from there. Danny ended up sleeping on my couch. I didn't sleep until 5:30. The end.
