mirror room, Saint Laurent, and no heels

didn’t make it to the petal drop, unfortunately. showed up at 7:30am, and it would have been 5 hour wait from then. not sure how all these people had so much time to spare on a weekend to wait in line for that long. I wish I was like those people, but I have so much other stuff to do! I’m jealous and hope it was worth it for them.

but on a positive note, went to a mirror room at the broad museum. http://www.thebroad.org/art/inaugural-installation

getting there is a bit tricky even with broad museum advance tickets, so read the info on their website and come early in the day. but even with all the trickiness, is was time well spent and totally worth it. the exhibit will end in April.

and.. on the way back home to make it just in time for a half-time Super Bowl performance (so glad I didn’t buy tickets to go see it! watching from home while making dinner was more fun than i thought)

petal drop in DTLA this Saturday

LAart show was a highlight of the weekend. but not the only one.

Bringing back Broaday

http://nightonbroadway.la was a success also. saw a few Broadway theaters (thanks to resident pass wristband, as the lines were outrageous), one contemporary dance show, one burlesque show, Aloe blacc live performance (http://www.aloeblacc.com, who I already have seen at coachella last year, but why not?), had one sausage from my favorite sausage place in downtown http://www.bierbeisl-imbiss.com (which will satisfy all your sausage needs), and a taco from what Tommy pie refers to as a “healthy” taco place http://www.yelp.com/biz/casita-taco-al-carbon-los-angeles?utm_source=ishare (my second time here, and I liked it more than first time. my recommendation is shrimp taco with a hard shell)

that being said, if you didn’t have a chance to make it this year, they are already planning for 2017, which will be on January 28. I’m already looking forward to that, if I still live on Broadway by then.

but back to LAart show. http://www.laartshow.com. amazing art, great people watching, and a lot of fun. not to miss next year.

here are my personal highlights
