Hollywood: Hardly a dream mecca L.A. from Page 10 next night it will be Allah Harley, a Muslim biker sushi disco. The bars close at 2 a.m., but you can drink all night if you ask where the “outlaw” clubs are on a particu lar evening. These clubs serve drinks until dawn, let minors in and lack a legal alcohol license, so they are often located in out-of-the way, hush-hush places like aban doned warehouses. The outlaw club of the moment is Ground Zero, an ultra-chic haven for punk ers that was recently featured in People magazine (it’s not THAT secret after all). Ground Zero’s portable decor includes numerous slide projec tors that flash scenes from old camp films, pictures of Patti Smith and tabloid headlines all over the walls. Television sets showing Nazi films are everywhere. Every thing vibrates here, thanks to the cacophonous industrial and elec trogothic dance music the DJ spins. Other hip-at-thc-momcnt clubs include White Trash A-Go-Go, situated in a man-made white cave that actually drips water. At White Trash and Scream, a portable club that features live punk bands, you’ll see performances of every thing from thrash versions of bad Bee Gees songs to outrageously awful ‘performance art.” For a good laugh, check out Rockers, a predominantly gay club that prides itself on not playing disco. Gays grooving to Sonic Youth and X has to be seen to be believed. You can’t possibly visit L.A. without going to the beach. Venice Beach is so sexually phantasmago ric it looks like a living Fellini iilm. Bag ladies, bikini-clad girls on roller skates and iron-pumping body-builders mingle together, thinking nothing of their exhibi tionism. Forget about Disneyland. The truly amusing sights of L.A. can be seen without driving all the way down to Anaheim. We’re talking . . restaurants? Yes, L.A.’sgcnuine cartoon characters can be seen at two Hollywood eateries that must remain anonymous. One bills it self as a “performance art dinette and juice bar” and sometimes books local performers like cult figure Glen Meadmore, an indus trial schlock-rock poet who sports a 6-foot-plus frame, numerous fright wigs and claims he likes to lick little boys’ toes on stage and stuff chicken heads into his nether regions. Another unusual eatery advertises the fact that it’s an “all you-can-eat lesbian restaurant for wimmin who prefer to eat in a non male-dom mated atmosphere .” With all this sin snaking through its reprobate valleys and beaches, it’s no wonder Los Ange lenos worry that their sunny para dise may soon erupt and fall off into the Pacific. But as long as there are people who wish to escape the bad weather and middle-class banality of the rest of America, there will be a Los Angeles.
