weekend in photographs

As promised :)

Friday night I ate deep dish Chicago-style pizza and pizookies (huge, piping hot chocolate chip cookies, the size of personal pizzas!) at this place, then caught the movie (500) Days of Summer, which is fantastic. I can't say enough good things about this movie, except go see it, and then go buy the soundtrack.

Saturday night I went to a good friend's wedding, (I actually know and adore both the bride and groom) and there was a PHOTO BOOTH at their reception. HOW cute is that?! So I just had to take advantage and get some photos with my friends... and for the sake of not making this the longest post ever, I'll only include one and put the other photo booth pics up later this week!


On Sunday we went to the Natural History Museum in Los Angeles, where we got to walk through the Pavilion of Wings (a special exhibit where you get to walk around in an inclosed garden with lots of beautiful butterflies flying all around you) and later on I got to pretend that I was going to be eaten by a dinosaur. Good times!





And finally, Sunday evening ended with a trip to the Melting Pot, the best fondue restaurant that I know of. The meal was delicious and the company...was fantastic. :)

Have a lovely rest of your Tuesday, everyone!

Friday night lights

Yo.

If you aren't doing anything this Friday, June 5th, and you're looking for something a bit more off the beaten path in Los Angeles, I suggest this, which is about eight steps cooler than just finding a bar somewhere and hanging out with your friends. C'mon, whaddya got to lose? Plus, I'm not in town this weekend, so if you go, I can live vicariously through you. And, true to my blog word, it's less than $15 (well, the $9 entrance fee is. The food and drink might push your $15 budget over by a bit).

Still. Who can resist a tour of the Natural History Museum at night, a public discussion and book signing by an expert on Darwin and evolution, and then almost five hours of music spun by one of the hottest DJs in Southern California right now? And did I mention organic food and drinks?

Note that this is only the first Friday of every month that the Natural History Museum puts together these shindigs, so if you can't go this Friday, you have to wait until July to check out the next one.

Step on it, kids! :)
