Very long story short I have a free Saturday afternoon and night there on my own in September before a concert on Sunday. I've scoped out record and bookstores, I love bric a brac interesting type stores, what else would you suggest to get up to?

Being a lifelong fan of Depeche Mode I have a love for The Rosebowl but I'm mainly excited about hanging out with my girl friend more than seeing Oasis being I won't have seen her in over 2 years.

What else to do? I like weird stuff.
 
They used to do a cool swap meet on Saturdays at the Rose Bowl there. I ran into Jason Mamoa at it buying some knives randomly one time. King Taco is my usual GoTo for Food.

Other than that...i really just avoid LA.

Are you only looking for Pasadena or are you looking to venture out & away more?
 
Go to Hollywood Blvd or Venice beach
Hollywood Blvd is gay
(once fell in love with a stripper named Romy though)
And
Venice Beach is now a human shit litter sadly.
 
Old Town is the way to go. Just a bunch of restaurants, bars, cafes you can hangout. There are cultural places and gift shops. There was a Barnes and Nobles there years ago, I haven’t been but that was always a place to stop and read and chit chat. Seems like it’s closed.

would frequent Pasadena frequently in my youth. It was quite fun.

Literally Pasadena only. I won't have a car so I'm looking to mooch around Pasadena only. I'm SoCal already do it isn't like I'm going to as a vacation to sightsee.

Go to silver lake. Plenty of shit to do around there in hipsterville. Permanent Records is pretty close too.

Obviously those aren't in Pasadena but close enough

If it's UBERable I'm up for branching out if it's really close by.

Actually Santa Monica Blvd is gay.

Also most of the homeless were run off the boardwalk in Venice and they cleaned it up. It has been pretty dead as of late though. Lot of businesses have gone under and it doesn't have the foot traffic it used to.
