Carmageddon, scharmageddon. Let's do this AGAIN!!

Despite the warnings of terrible traffic, hours of delays and hot headed Angelenos, Carmageddon was AMAZING!! The traffic was great, the local events, malls and shops were full and people were really enjoying themselves. Friendly even. LOL

Truth be told, there shouldn't have been any of those issues after a couple months of warnings that turned into marketing and an international news story. The reason we expected problems...people don't listen and people in LA tend to be a bit entitled. We all expected those people to pitch a fit when they couldn't get where they needed to go. I think all of those people got spooked and left town. Great, let's do this again! Venice is a bear, the 110 is old and crusty, PCH could use a little widening in spots. Don't you have something you could shut down and fix Los Angeles?

I had a great time this weekend and here's a bit (well, a lot) of the fun. Starting with the Eat Real Fest!


My girls Devyn, Shay and Leslie were in town so we went to see our friend and favorite actor, Darryl Stephens in a wonderful play called The Interlopers. Great performances all around. Laughed, cried, rooted for the characters. this was great theater. Not "Your Arms Too Long to Touch Dance With Jesus Cause You Might Sock Moses In The Face" kind of theater either. LOL

Then we headed over to Kitchen 24 for a later dinner. I love that place. It's one of my favorities! And they make a mean cocktail to boot...

I stopped off for a little walking recovery at the nail spa...

Today, on the day when most escaped Angelenos were coming back into town and crowding the freeways, I went to ART IN THE STREETS!! Seriously, if you haven't been yet or it comes to your city, see it! It's amazing...


I ended my day satisfying my craving for Vegan Hot Wings (with Orange Chicken and Spinach Fried Rice) at Bulan Thai in Silverlake. Mmmm mmm good...
