The Weekend of Ward
Oh jeepers.
This weekend was all about comfort foods, indoor forests, open bars, bedazzled trees and pancakes. Here are some stops made by Ward's Party Short Bus this weekend:
Friday, 8:42 p.m.: At the wedding of some beloved comrades, I consume several glasses of shiraz. Wine-logged, tearful congratulations follow, as does the consumption of two slices of cake.
Friday 11:21 p.m. Post-wedding, I scoot over to Truxtop for the "Winter Wanderland" show to view their synthetic tree installation, faux confetti snow, and countless pieces of cheap tasty arts (Full disclosure: I myself have a few pieces all up in this thing.)
(Andy Haynes "White Out," priced at a mere $200 bones)
(Faux snow)
Saturday, 9:51 p.m.: Some comrades and I seek out a pumpkin pie shot at The Woods (verdict: taaaasty.) Other verdict: I wanted more, and forced asked them to make a larger one in a martini glass. Next it was hopping about from the Hive Gallery to Edendale to the Brite Spot for breakfast at 3 a.m. Why am I aggressively courting diabetes?
Ten minutes later:
Sunday, 11:34 a.m.: Doing some "journalistic research," I consume a stack of pumpkin pancakes at La Conversation on Doheny, while taking notes. They are not delicious, but I finish them all.
Sunday, 2:46 p.m. I shuffle through 2.5 laps around around Silverlake Reservoir to (weakly) compensate for my many dietary transgressions. Along the way, peeped a tree decked out in purple bedazzlements. Flashy! But I like it.
Until next week, my comrades, please do rock on. (And here's a cheat sheet for the week in the event that you've forgotten how.)
High five,
-Alie Ward
