The public transportation system in Los Angeles leaves much to be desired. If you're flying in for the weekend, we recommend renting a car.

If you've never experienced L.A. traffic, we envy you. A good rule of thumb is to always give yourself more time than you think you'll need to get where you want to go.

Given the holiday weekend traffic may be extra heavy on Saturday, especially if there is good weather (and we want there to be good weather) as the venue is located near a popular public beach.
