Rath went back to his friend’s house in Anaheim, and we went in search of a nail place for a quick mani. We found The Nail Place, which gave us an express polish and a sobering dose of the day’s news. Went back to the hotel to relax for a bit, and then headed out again. This place is in West Hollywood, about 15 minutes from our hotel.
