Got a chance to have lunch today with Chris and Max. I introduced Max to some authentic Salvadorean food near downtown LA. They both gave it a thumbs up!👠If you guys haven't tried some pupusas, you got to put that on your culinary bucket list. It's not exactly fine dining but it's definitely my soul food! Just make sure they are authentic!!!

Really enjoyed this thread. I've had a great box of MAX top guy. He looks like he's had a good time drinking and eating with you guys. Checking out the culture Usa style. Slo and Dave looked after him. Be my time one day to get over. Yours graham franklin

This is fantastic. I really enjoyed this....it made me realize something. I work too much. I need to travel 
Thanks brother, whenever you do decide to come and visit Southern California, you'll get the same greeting. Trust me theres more to come, this story isn't over yetGaffer said:
It wasn't just me and Dave, it was all of us out here that came together as one to show Max some West Coast Boomboxery love, stay tuned...

I guess it's my turn to continue the story.
Dave dropped Max off at my house last Sunday.
We chilled in the garage for a while before Dave had to make the long drive home
Max, Dave and Rob (Dave's neighbor)
I set Max up in my camper for the time he was here and even included a blaster so he would feel at home...
Sunday night we hung out in the driveway, drank beer and talked radios as the sun went down.
When it got dark, we moved into the garage and cranked up....you guessed it...The TRC-920
Monday started yet another Los Angeles sightseeing tour to try to hit some of the places he wanted to see. We went to the Santa Monica Pier and then walked down to Venice Beach. Almost all the pictures were taken with his phone, so I'm sure when he gets wifi on his trip he will post them.
I supplied Max with my Lasonic TRC-922 and I rocked the 920
The Santa Monica Pier is about 4 miles away from Venice, so we walked it with the boxes BLASTING the local Rock station and just as we strolled into Venice, AC/DC's "You Shook Me All Night Long" started as if on cue. The look on people's faces was PRICELESS!
We rocked those boxes up and down the boardwalk like we owned the place getting high fives, thumbs up and people dancing with us.
Here is Max touching the Pacific Ocean for the first time.
Also some fun shorts that were for sale in a local Venice shop.
Tuesday was an early start to head back 75 miles south to downtown Los Angeles to the Griffith Observatory and a hazy view of Los Angeles
Next we headed to the tallest building west of the Mississippi, the US Bank Tower, which two weeks earlier opened up the 69th and 70th floor called the OUE SkySpace that includes a GLASS SLIDE on the outside of the building from the 70th to 69th floor!
We rocked the Lasonic's in downtown as well
Here we are inside the lobby...
They wouldn't let us take the radio's to the top for security reasons so we had to stash them at the front desk. The people working there were super cool and loved the radio's!
Here is the view from the top!
Here is a woman about to slide out the window and down the slide!
And here is some video from the top and YES Max and I did go down the slide. To say that was INSANE would be an understatement, but since we were there, we had to do it!

Wednesday we took it a bit easier, stayed local in my neck of the woods and hit the Ventura beach and Pier with DarkSideWill
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qY5_QNLpLrI&feature=youtu.be
Rockin' some boxes, enjoying the California view!
After the beach, we headed home and Boomboxery Member Fresh Produce (Peter) stopped by my place to meet up with Max!
And that was it! Later that night I drove Max to the bus station so he can continue on his amazing journey!
It was an insane week with Max, he is the nicest guy you will ever meet a Boombox Collector to the CORE and we sure hope to see him again in Las Vegas at the International Boombox meet in Las Vegas.

OUTfarkINGSTANDING CHRIS! I know I have seen these pictures "live and direct" as these events unfolded, but the way it all came together here was even more amazing The YouTube video of the SKY SLIDE was sweet, I really gotta check that out asap. Like I said, Germany and California can't be stopped!
Its crazy because other than Max staying with me for 3 days, none of this other stuff with Dave, Stan, Howie, you, Will, or Peter, was really "planned out", it all just sorta fell into place which is what made it even better. I know Max will never forget any of this. I'm happy to be part of his life experience and world travels. Go Max Go!

Absolutely, he is such a great ambassador for his country. I love the fact that at such a young age (24) he is so knowledgeable and can have conversations about so many different topics. Of course we talked about boomboxes but we also talked about politics, history, culture, sports etc... Truly a pleasure to have meet him and call him my friend.Dr DER said:
