It’s going to be a special weekend what with the rare blue moon (the second full moon in a calendar month) making an appearance. Hopefully if it’s a clear night you can spend it moongazing with friends or that special someone. But what to do after? Thursday, May 31 Once in a Blue Moon Dinner…

Camping and Chillaxing in Joshua Tree
Rush-hour traffic, angry people, deadlines…are there times when you just want to escape from all that for some peace and quiet? May I suggest camping in Joshua Tree? Despite what you may think, sometimes I, too, like to unplug, if only for the novelty. So this past weekend, a group of friends and I headed…

Flickr Shot by jlmiral Not going to Coachella this year? All is not lost. Here are some to-dos going on around town for those forgoing that annual trek to the desert. Space Is the Place Roller Disco at World on Wheels: Disco dancing as it should be done…on wheels. Wee! Uh huh uh huh! If…
Santa Anita Derby Day 5K: Horse Racing, Microbrew Fest and, Oh Yeah, a Fun Run
Flickr shot by Life of David Ever since I had my heart broken from having to bow out of the L.A. Marathon due to injury, my running buddies have been trying to get me back on track again, so to speak. So one of them sent me the info for this fun run taking place…
Pillow Fight Club: Beat the Stuffing Out of Strangers
Who knew beating up strangers could be so fun? I’m talking, of course, about the upcoming pillow fight club smackdown that’s scheduled for this April 1st at the Grove.

All You Can Eat Section in Dodger Stadium

Super Snowmobile Sunday in Mammoth
I had the best Super Bowl Sunday ever! I spent it snowmobiling around Mammoth. There was snow on the ground, no wind and not a cloud in the sunny sky. My friends and I had signed up through MammothMountain.com’s Snowmobile Adventures where, on Thurs-Sun, it’s $100 for your own vehicle and $120 when you double…
Angeles National Forest: Driving Crazy
I’ve been sworn to secrecy about the location of this great driving road but I ain’t the best keeper of secrets — come on, I have a blog. Anyhoo, I can say that this road is way the hell up in the Angeles National Forest and is full of twisties and switchbacks and all that…
Vasquez Rocks: Party With Rock Stars
I’ve always wanted to check out Vasquez Rocks ever since I first saw it on Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey, then Army of Darkness and I think even 24. Apparently these sideway slabs of sandstone have been appearing in films since 1905, that’s why they may look vaguely familiar to you. Quick online research reveals…
