LA to-do

[nibot]

It's amazing how quickly a year goes... here it is November and my upcoming move to Louisiana is more and more on my mind. Meanwhile there's plenty (understatement!) still to do in here in Los Angeles. It's not nearly as awesome as my friend Jason Finley's (uniace's) "To-do before leaving Los Angeles, CA" list, but here's mine so far:

• Visit Yosemite in the wintertime
• Visit the Center for Land Use Interpretation
• Bicycle along the Arroyo Seco to the Los Angeles river
• Visit Pasadena's farmer's market
• Visit Path to Freedom / Dervaes Gardena
• Go to a theatre/musical performance in Los Angeles
• Go to a big movie premier in LA
• Visit all of the museums (ha!)
• Go camping in Baja with a bunch of friends
• Go on an Architectural tour of LA
• Go hottubbing at Caltech
• Go to the top of a scyscraper downtown
• Travel the Mojave Road*
• Visit Saline Valley*
• (suggestions?)

* = probably not until a future stint in LA

I just saw that in Into the Wild and I totally want to go. It sounds like Burning Man without all the capitalism.

A guy on my hockey team is a photographer and has an entry for slab city in his portfolio.

Awesome dude! Glad you're aiming to make the most of L.A.'s insanely variegated offerings. You got a number of cool things on your list that I didn't. Best of luck man!
