There are actually not that many bands that I would pay to see because I get bored easily and get tired of standing and paying too much for weak drinks. That being said, there are a lot of cool places in L.A. to do those things. So have at it.

Safari Sam’s started as a restaurant/punk venue in Huntington Beach way back in the olden times of the 80s.
Now the venue exists in a big concrete box in the parking lot of a 99 Cents Only store. However, it still manages to draw decent bands, the booze is reasonably priced and it’s not shoulder to shoulder crowded. I hate touching (most) people, so this is good for me.
