It's fortunate that you're looking to swankcamp the month prior to our wedding, during which Tom and I shall not have time to admit that we enjoy camping (if, by camping, you mean returning nightly to a cozy national park lodge.) Or, hell, go in June-- we're out of the state for the entirety.

Museums, however? Bring 'em on! Can't get enough of 'em. Also dance performances and restauarants and other interesting outings.

For instance, has anyone been to Topanga Canyon recently, or brunch at the Inn of the Seventh Ray? It's our favorite restaurant in the city.

I have a friend for whom "camping" means downgrading the hotel down to Best Western. Motel 6 is the equivelant of a hike-in primitive campground where you have to bury your own waste and haul out the used toilet paper.

Oh, so you've met my parents?

Oooh, I second the Inn of the Seventh Ray in Topanga for a brunch swanking. It's a drive and a half, but worth it. Maybe it could be combined with an optional Malibu Mountains hike afterwards.


Oh, and for swankiness - - how can our bunch continue to avoid a performance at the Walt Disney Concert Hall? We simply must find a program with swank appeal, and attend before another season goes by.


(Feb. 8 - 11 - Lang Lang plays Chopin, which I mention because the L.A. Philharmonic will be conducted by the swankily-named Vassily Sinaisky. I think it's an omen.)

Not to jump off track~ has anyone seen 'Triple Espresso'? I have, once, and it was fun. A lot of crowd interaction.

Hiking in Malibu? Are these difficult ones? :blush:

I know people who won't stay anywhere but 4 star. Sadly, these same people I would love to take to Yosemite for fun but I doubt it will ever happen.

I don't mind so much, as long as if it is indoor, there aren't bugs. If it is outdoors, what can you expect, right?

The artists will even demonstrate "Techniques of Film Scoring" by running a clip from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade without music, and then, after discussing the process of "spotting," running the scene again, accompanied live by the orchestra.

Tickets go on sale to the general public on Sunday, January 21, 2007, beginning at 10:00 AM (online and phone) and at noon (at the Box Office).
Geek-Swanky Enough??
