There was only 1 bad thing about Disgraceland and that was leaving to early! Buddy was a wonderful, entertaining host that we connected with immediately. I don't know if it was is slow southern drawl, the name of his establishment, his witty sense of humor or the personal ambience of the place. It was more like visiting an old friend who you adore and have missed tremendously. Him being from Alabama, where my family is from and even though I am a northerner it reminded me of those trips south as a kid. As we shared our syllabuses of "who we are" during our introductions we told him of our expecting a new family member, a foal to be born next year. As soon as the name for a colt escaped my lips, "Argo", his reply was Argo "bleep" yourself, establishing the joke in the name and thus the reason we picked it. The decor is fantastic and unique, the flow of his personal collections of art/objects was awe inspiring. Let me also mention the other guests for a moment, they were friendly and welcoming as well. We spent time connecting with Jay, a beautiful soul who we feel lucky to have encountered. His girlfriend was staying there as well and had a smile that lit up the room and your only response was a equal smile back. Brian, an adorable German fellow was lovely to listen to as he describe places not to miss...beer and food being the bulk of the subject matter. My husband and I booked at Disgraceland last minute on our honeymoon adventure, we had planned to stay with family but we had confusion with our dates and they were out of town. We were only staying one day in LA on our trip up the PCH. I can tell you right now the "confusion" paid off! Even with having a free place to stay close to Venice Beach always there in the future we will make a point to stay and visit with Buddy again.
