Hey Ryan, do you know anything about the parking situation @ Slow Clothing? I've never been by the area and Google street view isn't giving me a whole lot of info

Since it's on Melrose Ave, most likely its only going to be street parking (meter). Usually the spots are taken though, and in this case, I imagine you want to be there early if you want nearby parking.

Street parking it is, but I will ask if they will be making any special arrangements. I'm going to say it's unlikely because it's on Melrose, but you just never know!

Was going to go to the LA opening, but the more I thought about it, the more I don't like this car.

dunnojack

i thought so too, esp after watching the short film on that website with the car in action.

this model would be more appropriate for toyota.
seems to cheapen the lexus image.
