AUTHOR THANKS Andrew Bender Suki Gear, Cliff Wilkinson, Alison Lyall, Hilary Angel, Juan Flores, Joe Timko, Sarah Weinberg, Suzi Dennett and the good folks at the SPP Help Desk. Adam Skolnick Los Angeles is a city I love, full of people I love. LA is home. Still, it s never easy to dissect your own backyard, mostly because you usually don t know what you re missing. So thanks to Alma Lauer, Trisha Cole, Jessica Ritz, Nina Gregory, Burton Breznick, Tchaiko Omawale, Dan Cohn, Angel Payne, Christine Lazzaro, Liebe Geft, the folks at the Wende Museum, Michael McDowell, Alex Capriotti, and John Moore. Thanks also to all those wild seals, sea lions, dolphins and whales that keep us entertained in the water, and to the Lonely Planet staff and my cohorts Sara Benson and Andy Bender.
