Hi
I plan to move to LA in some time after 2012 when I finish highschool to pursue my dream of playing music and becoming a famous bassist in a famous band.
How would I go on and do that? |

| | | | 1) Play great and know your craft.
2) Be yourself and be unique.
3) Find great collaborators.
4) Rehearse like crazy.
5) Eat some high-quality burritos.
6) Write amazing songs.
7) Play stunning live shows, earning a naturally strong fanbase.
8) Record great music.
9) Get famous.
Am I leaving anything out?
As far as questions like "how do I get a deal"? or things like that, that's not really my function on these forums. Things like that are vastly overrated anyway, especially in comparison to more foundational and enduring things like being excellent at what you do and turning out great gigs with your band.

Endorsing: Ampeg | | Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: Apopka, FL | | good question and very appropriate. i have had burritos all over the country, and there are two basic categories....mexican restaurant burritos, and fast food burritos. i love them all. the best places to get burritos are always small family owned mexican restaurants. look for one of them.
if all you can find is fast food, i think the best of it is taco john's, but they're not easily found like taco bell. but even taco bell is good, the chicken grilled stuff'd burrito being a personal favorite. del taco is also good, but again, taco bell is everywhere and is still pretty darn good.
hard to go wrong with mexican food...although there was this mexican place in wellington, new zealand that i wasn't especially crazy about

Blue Coast Burrito (Baja Burrito) in Nashville...dear heavens. Pineapple salsa for the chips. Wash it down with sweet tea. Amen.
As far as chains go...I prefer Chipotle.

| | | | Great burritos in LA: Allegria, Tacos Villa Corona, Tacos Delta, Cactus, Yuca's, La Serenata, Senor Fish, too many too mention.

PS - if you're ever in Austin, check out the original Chuy's on Barton Springs Rd - best burrito in town |

| | | | Best burrito for metal = Tacos Villa Corona in Atwater. Or maybe a taco truck one on Eagle Rock Blvd. or Alvarado late at night.
