Free Paradise!
While I was at Grassroots today, I saw an ad on their bulletin board for this site:
It lists by dates and city oodles of wonderful, free things happening in L.A. For example, this Friday, the Audobon center is leading a bird walk and showing a film. I’ve always been curious about this place, which is over the 110 freeway in Highland Park. Then on Saturday, there’s the Korean festival in Ktown and a Latin Jazz festival in Noho. And on Sunday, a Thai festival at Barnsdall, Jane Goodall International Peace Day at Griffith Park, and a slew of concerts. Even the Richard M. Nixon library has a free concert series. Closer to home, Vroman’s book store in Pasadena hosts a free Sunday night jazz series, ending this month.
So check out the site and click on some links. It’s pretty spare-looking, easy-to-use, and has a surprising number of typos. With summer now over and L.A. out of events overdrive, it’s nice to know that this site exists. Yay! This weekend with the above, Park(ing)DayLA and the slow-mo dance films downtown looks to be very exciting. This is exactly what makes L.A. a great city, a playground for all.
What an interesting site…odd that there’s no contact information for the creator. Hmmm…ah, well, free is always good. If I make it back to LA, I’ll be sure to bookmark that page.
PS: Speaking of free things, I just found out that I’ll be able to go to a free Australian Idol concert next week. Loving it!

Jayna, I found that odd about the site as well. It’s so simple looking yet it contains great info. I wonder who the angels are. That’s great about the Idol concert!
