Things I hate about LA:
1. It's LA 2. Smog 3. You have to drive everywhere - highways on top of highways 4. Hollywood 5. Phonies - Plastic surgery/celebrities 6. Traffic Jams - doesn't matter the time of day, you can get stuck in traffic 7. The Lakers 8. Cost of living

The answer is Ark Music Factory, a Los Angeles-based company operating as an industry hybrid of Maurice Starr and John Bennett Ramsey. Their casting calls are perfect bait for starry-eyed parents: “If you are a great singer without any material and you want to get discovered,” one reads, “then Ark Music Factory is looking for you.”
The formula is simple: They’ll fly your child between the specified ages of 13-17 to Los Angeles, write her a “hit,” record it in super-compressed Autotuned production, shoot an edge detection-overlay video and BAM! Maybe your kid can notch up a couple thousand YouTube views while you watch your dreams of being a pop-star parent percolate.

If we are talking about the heart of the city, NYC is my favorite. Overall area, I will always be a SoCal girl because of the weather, food, and general atmosphere.
The theater scene in New York is pretty spectacular, and so is the food.
Henq, Iggy will be up in LA at the Ahmanson tomorrow with our oldest daughter. They have tickets to Beauty and the Beast. Maybe you guys could grab a drink while he is up there. I'll PM you his cell number.
