Rule 1: You have to leave parties at a designated time — Having only lived in Los Angeles for one short year, I can only speak for my momentary experience of being an Angelino transplant. I’m sure my discoveries and perceptions would also be drastically different had I worked as a lawyer, nurse or mingled more with born-and-bred Californians rather than Hollywood…
