Raymar Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 Here's a cool spot. http://home.earthlink.net/~sraymar/Images/Alta_Laguna_Park2.jpg You shouldn't chase after the past or pin your hopes on the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudioMaverick Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 Check the Guitar Center bulletin board in the back (corner of El Toro & Rockfield) -- http://www.guitarcenter.com/locations/store.cfm?store=122 The counter persons would probably know. Also, check out Jim's Music, in Irvine, off of Culver -- http://www.jimsmusic.com/LOC/loc.html . They have practice rooms. I'm sure they could point you in the right direction.

Raymar Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 No, its Alta Laguna Park in Laguna Beach at the top of a hill there. I was testing out my new Nikon Coolpix 4600 camara last night. It is a great view though for a practice/recording studio. Check out this Laguna Main Beach sunset pic I took with the dusk scene setting, no flash. Another nice spot, just need to win the Lotto and you're set. http://home.earthlink.net/~sraymar/Images/Laguna_at_Dusk03.jpg Steve You shouldn't chase after the past or pin your hopes on the future.

Robman2 Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 For you youngers, The intersection of El Toro Road and the now 405/5 freeway, (GC's current location) is a toss from what used to be a hog farm. The O' Niel's (Draft dodgers from the Cival War) home was across the street. Where the overpass is over the ATSF tracks, was a pool hall, butcher and barber shop from the late 1800's until the 70's. The area which is called Lake Forest, the trees were planted as a get rich scheme by Whiting and my great granfather, Antone Carle, (AC owned the Pool Hall and ran a still during prohibition.) They went bust on it, the trees in Lake Forest because the timber from Gum (Eucalyptus) is not sutiable for railroad ties like they envisioned. Also some of the finest watermelons in the world were cultivated near there. FWIW, having grown up in the area beofre it became city to city concrete and asphalt from San Clemente to Los Angeles. There's a cool little park where the Serrano house adobe is with old buildings and a diarama of El Toro before it was mowed into the 20th century. My relatives are buried in the old cemetary there. Oh and some of the off duty OC Sheriff guys, would take the train to Fresno, buy flats of raisnes and feed the Carle still business for raisen jack.

Robman2 Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 The oldest native skull fragment found in the US was found in Laguna Canyon's wash by Dr. lleaky beofre he ever went to Africa. It resides in the LAC Museum of Natural History. That may no longer be the oldest but for many years, it lead at some 9 to 12k years old.

alanfc Posted June 14, 2005 Author Share Posted June 14, 2005 hey , no its fine, we never made it to Sound Matrix the leader lives in SD and we want to meet halfway.... he has a one-month old baby and I'm trying to save him some time by getting more south. I searched for places in the online yellow pages, and called Guitar Centers down there to see 'where dudes are practicing' and they all drive up to Fountain Valley to Sound Matrix! They all say there's not much in Irvine and south. There's one place called Sound Lab Rehearsal Studios in city of Irvine but they don't return my calls. I think its going to have to be Sound Matrix Thanks again Rivera + Fender Strat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gearmike Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 Fountain Valley isn't that much farther... Seriously, what the f*ck with the candles?
