We're pathologically social. We're professional leisurists. We're burrito lovers, bar flies, art whores and music nerds. We dish the good dirt, and we'll risk a parking ticket for a cheap sample sale. Sometimes, we blog drunk.
Ward on the street: meeting my leisure goals
I was just on the phone with my dentist. Looking down at my appointment calendar, it struck me that it was peppered with scribbly notes like "Fire party" "yacht thing?" "3a.m.-graffiti" and "cupcake challenge." It's not easy being a professional leisurist.
This past weekend, I did my best to carouse around, stopping into an after-hours Solid Gold disco party that was less "warehouse rave" and more like my family's rumpus room outfitted with a few Radio Shack strobe lights. No matter, as the next evening offered a drive-in screening of "The Princess Bride," some barhops on roller skates, and a picnic of booze and grub bountiful enough to have sustained an entire legion of the Roman army.
But it's this coming weekend that I'm worried about.
Without the aid of a quantum wormhole or a time machine, I don't know how I can meet all of my leisure goals. An Urban Bicycle Commuter Expo in Pasadena is pitted directly against the huge LACMA Art Walk and Afterparty. Bikes versus BCAM? Unjust. On top of those choices, heap my own most-anticipated event of the year: the yearly Bug Fair at the Natural History Museum (a sprawling expo of live bugs, the Pavilion of Wings Butterfly exhibit, and even a beehive under glass. My pulse has literally just quickened.)
(Yay)
Sunday presents a barbecue, the aforementioned competitive cupcake bake off and a Moonlight Rollerway Jubilee rollerskate bonanza. Can one person accomplish all of this leisure? Stay tuned, my friends.
Taking a deep breath,
