treehugger101 Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 I live in Los Angeles, California, so I know how to get around via buses and subway etc. I am going to this convention and its events that I wanted to check out start late around 7PM until 11PM. My parents will be dropping me off and I was going to have my Boyfriend take me home. But he doesn't want to give me a ride home due to the area of the convention and finding parking after he drops me off and he has to go back to the convention. He says his friends may get a hotel so even driving back to the hotel and finding parking may be tough for him and he doesn't want to deal with all of that chaos. So I was thinking after the events end at 11PM I catch the subway and head home. I am a female, 28 and know being a female stuff can happen to a women, mugged, robbed, raped, killed, etc. And it being in Los Angeles stuff can happen. This convention is the LA Convention too so if you know this area and the subways in that area then you know what I mean. But anyway if you were in my situation, what would you do? Would you have your partner take you home or let him have you head home alone? I would have my parents drop me off and pick me up but picking me up at 11PM over there I know they will complain.
avintagegirl Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 Is a cab an option? It might be pricey, but then it might be worth it to be safe. The other option might be to see into a limo. When I went to Chicago it was cheaper to get a limo to the hotel than to take the airport shuttle.
GemmaUK Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 Could you hang around at the convention with your bf after it finishes and leave when he leaves? Could you tag along and stay at the hotel with his friends? I travel alone a fair bit and at night I will tend to leave a venue just a bit earlier so that I can get a cab. Once something like this kicks out cabs can be in high demand. Have you actually asked your parents? If you leave a little bit earlier so that it's not such a late pick up and so they can find space to stop and meet you before the area is rammed with cars and people making their way home then they might well not mind at all and would rather you get home safe.

Author treehugger101 Posted July 2, 2015 Author Posted July 2, 2015 Man I can't believe what happened today. My Boyfriend and I were suppose to meet up for the Day 0 of the convention, but I decided to go in the afternoon while he went around noon. He got his things in an hour and I thought for sure he would have asked me "Want me to come pick you up, so you can get your things here at the convention?" HELL NO did he not do this. I then asked him to buy us the concert tickets for a show happening tomorrow and does he do that? NOPE. Does he go and check out the merchandise as I asked him too? NOPE He then ignores me barely talking to me at all today and just the way he was today really pissed me off that I may not even go the convention at all.
