OUTRAGEOUS CONTEMPORARY HI-TECH EUROPEAN IMPORT FURNITURE

My journey for a dining room table took me first to OUTRAGEOUS CONTEMPORARY HI-TECH EUROPEAN IMPORT FURNITURE.  Alright, the real name is just Outrageous Contemporary, but their sign clearly reads OUTRAGEOUS CONTEMPORARY HI-TECH EUROPEAN IMPORT FURNITURE.  This place was absolutely insane.  They had chairs that look like this and couches that looked like this.  Needless to say, I didn’t really know what I was doing in the place.  However, the foreign gentleman who owned it was quite helpful.  He showed me some very interesting table and chair sets, however when you buy OUTRAGEOUS CONTEMPORARY HI-TECH EUROPEAN IMPORT FURNITURE you apparently will end up spending quite the penny.  Dismayed by the high price, I pretty much wrote off every piece of furniture in the store. 

My first hit was not a hit at all, it was in fact a convincing miss.  Ever the optimist, I held out and continued to browser around the store.  Pots of dry-ice fumed over the 2-foot-off-the-ground furniture like I was in a sci-fi set from the 70’s.  At least I gave it a shot. 

I then hit a couple of places in Beverly Hills.  I will sum this up in 12 words.  Furniture in Beverly Hills is more expensive than everything I own combined.  Almost ashamed that I even set foot in these fine establishments, I left hastily, but not without taking a bottled water.  I was slightly shocked to see they were offering wine and cheese to those that were seriously shopping there.  Where was I, some sort of French Bistro?

In other news, I took a candid shot of an interesting gentleman bum.  Maybe this is the guy thats been punching my right jaw at night.  Note the billboard in the background.  You can’t drive for a single block in LA without seeing this advertisement in some form.  Next up, Santa Monica Boulevard.
