Things to do before leaving LA

Sunday, March 26, 2006

So I was having a conversation with my good friend Pangle and we decided that we needed to come up with a list of things to do before we leave Los Angeles. I mean, it is a huge town with a ton of things going on, and it's uber-close to a lot of attractions and National Parks, so we should be living it up! So here's what I have so far. This is a living list, so check back often to see if anything has been added or crossed off.

Oh, and feel free to suggest things to do!
