I been to the bar/restaurant in " Life is Dust "
The first moment where Sizemore and the Vietnamese girl are connecting through drinks " Back in those days I always carry two hand grenades on me". It's called Chowder Barge in Wilmington,CA, a hidden gem sitting on the dock of the bay where Inherent Vice was also recently shot.
It was surreal that I was there by chance, especially how Michael Mann wrote that episode.
