Hello RnT.  I hope you enjoy your time in my beautiful city.

Anaheim is about 30 miles away from Los Angeles, hope you have transportation.

The Rainbow just has a cover charge, I think $10 on the weekends.  But they give you two drink tickets, and you were probably gonna down a few so it's nothing.  It isn't hard to get in, maybe if it was 1983, yeah. 

The Whiskey is a shitty venue, but if you must go there, then by all means go ahead. 

The Key Club is closed for renovations.

The Viper Room...uhhh, it depends on who is playing...on a weekday, tickets shouldn't be more than $10.

And all those places are easy to get into.

But if you want to have a great time, you go to the House of Blues on Monday night.

Steel Panther!  Every Monday!  It's a fun time I tell you.

Cheers dude.

P.S.  Check out Nickerson Gardens if you have time.

They're all pretty much next to each other.

Lemmy hangs out at the Rainbow.  He's a chill dude.

Hi Chimney!!
Let me say... Anaheim is a beautiful city!!!
I stayed at Sheraton hotel, in front of Downtown Disneyland! About 5 minutes far away to namm.

I uploaded some pictures of my trip in my facebook!

However, I could not know Slash, Duff and Zakk Wylde... =/

I went to NAMM back in 2000.  I got to meet Slash there, he was standing next to me trying to get into the Gibson room that was setup.  I also got to meet Nikki Sixx, Zakk Wylde, and a few other people.  I got to play a couple of songs with Jewel's guitarist in the Taylor Guitar area.  I know that's not a big deal but it was still pretty cool.  Later that night Slash was at the Viper Room, my cousin and I also met him there.
