Hi everyone, 
  
My name's DJ -- long time lurker and rec.roller-coaster poster.  I'm taking a trip from New York City (home) to L.A. from June 20-27.  I plan on going to a number of parks while I'm down there -- SFMM, Disneyland, DCA, Knott's. 
  
Two questions: 
  
1) Anyone want to join me for all or part?  I've never been to these parks  
  
2) Any hints/tips/recommendations?  Good places for discount tickets?  Good places to eat? 
  
I'll be staying with a friend in Covina. 
  
In case I don't see a response here, my e-mail is djg5gsu@gmail.com.  Let me know!  I'd love to have company!  I am 27 and am very nice, despite being from NYC
