Jordan Percy decided to grace the Greater Los Angeles Metropolitan Area with his presence last evening. We decided on t-shirts and suit jackets, already had reservations for 4 (where was our 4th the whole night anyway?) at Rambutan, had finally convinced Kyle that this Target listed in LA nightlife on multiple internet locations, is this Target and headed out for an Executive Committee reunion of sorts.

Dinner was aces, per the standard at the Ram’, and the drinks were the thing of legend (I rec’ the Mango Mojito, though I’m always a sucker for the Rambutan Cosmo, slash anything with Soju in it). For the rest of the evening we decided to help the social resurgence of Downtown LA by visiting a few local watering holes. The Edison was dead, and there were no good leads for the Times so we pressed on to The Redwood.

The Redwood is one of the finer nautical bars in existence, complete with Quill and Ink sketches of ships and other lovely works of art. Once we headed to the stern we found the dance floor, complete with a DJ dropping hits everywhere (He had a few slips, but with most the wanna-be hipster DJ’s in this town refusing to drop some JT in his mix, I find the gesture unique and different).

B-list celebrities surrounded us on the dance floor, however these were a slightly different crowd than the usuals; Lil Jon, Kwame Brown and a few of the leaders of some rival b-boy crews. I have to admit I’d take this group on the dance floor over the Bang crowd on most days.

On our exit, we decided to go Bridge and Tunnel-ing through the city. Perhaps you weren’t aware of all the tunnels and bridges around Los Angeles, but while you are planning your own route, be sure to check out Angel’s Flight. Our soundtrack for the B&T-ing was the ever appropriate TBS, who reminds us of what fine young knives we all are.
