THINGS I ENJOY MOST ABOUT
cold days in AUTUMN.
1. Staying inside. Wrapped up in a blanket, reading a book, listening to tunes that make you feel good and inhaling whiffs of beautifully scented candles. Add in a snoring dog and you're golden.
2. Deciding to go out with friends, but because it is so chilly outside (and let's face it, in LA we are never prepared for that), we decide to bunker into a bar playing hysterical rounds of Pictionary at Tony's Darts Away. The best part about this bar: it's a bottle free, low waste bar/restaurant. All of their beer, wine and sodas are served on a draught system, minimizing our environmental impact. This food and beverages are organic when possible, and the menu is vegan friendly!
3. Watching 40 Day Dream all stop-motion music video on repeat because I'd rather not go outside.
4. Getting excited about escaping the mountains to snowboard and ski with friends, even though I really miss wakeboard season already.
5. Looking forward to a holiday season's worth of after-work parties at places in LA I normally could not afford to go to. Which means, it's time to shop for cocktail dresses.
6. Planning a night of satisfying my musical appetite at the KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas Concert where some of my favorites, including but not limited to Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes, Phoenix, The Black Keys, Temper Trap, Florence + the Machine...doesn't get much better than that.
7. Planning winter camping trips in Big Bur and riding quads in Pismo, despite the frigid weather.
8. Pumpkin Ale.
9. A real bowl of good Ramen.
10. Realizing that the craziness at work will die down soon after the holidays.
I hope everyone has a wonderful, safe and extremely fat Thanksgiving!
