One thing is for sure: the environment over at Occupy L.A. is never boring. Our Overheard in L.A. round-up this week includes overheard conversation on such thrilling topics as Occupy L.A. fashion, winter in L.A. and the taste of perspiration.
And remember our relatively new feature Overheard in L.A. relies on you to keep your ears open for excellent quotes. Send them our way at overheard@laist.com. (In the email, be sure to tell us who said it, where they said it and any amusing context.)
