If you’re unfamilier with [...]

Levi’s Commuter Clothing Launch Party Success

Los Angeles: The Cog-Joint multi-modal travel express to Levi’s Commuter Clothing Launch event at Orange20, without a doubt and not to exaggerate, was a night to remember.  We departed from the LB Transit Mall (LBTM) at 6:15 and returned home on the LAST train of the night to arrive back at the LBTM at 1:55am.
