^ That sounds like a blast, actually!

Those are either very small pieces of bacon, or HUGE donuts!

For the OC contingent, downtown Santa Ana is home to a bunch of independent art galleries/studios. One of the best days of our recent trip to Chicago was spent wandering a similar neighborhood in Chicago, I definitely want to check this out.

That sounds like fun. Bet we could wander ourselves into a great hole in the wall restaurant too.

so instead of reading back 9 pages of posts, was any camping ever decided on?

Not Afraid · 01-07-2008, 12:38 PM

Soooo, a couple of "extras" i'd like to add to my list. I would like to add a creative, interactive component to the swankings if possible. So, with that in mind.....

LA Conservancy Walking tour with "As a Swanker See It" photo component. Everyone on the tour brings a camera and photographs the different things they notice as they are walking through DTLA. We then do a on-line slide show of the photographs.

Watts Towers - Start the day off with breakfast at Rosco's Chicken and Waffels, take the train to Watts, come back to Long Beach and do our own found object collage project.

I'm cooking up more ideas in my "free time". Anyone can make suggestions as well.

Ohhhh Cherny good idea. I know Ethel needs the exercise lmao...would be fun to take the girlies. I always said i was gonna take them to a dog beach last summer never happened this summer i'm making good on my promise so maybe a Swanking beach time visit to a dog beach with Thurston and the girls and anyother doggies too....

^ Well, I like the above as the January Swanking. We're running out of weekends, so is there anyone else who likes this one ... or would like to narrow the suggestions down to a few candidates that we might be able to discuss more easily?

As for camping ... we need a separate thread. Nothing's been decided. The only thing we have to decide now is if we want to try to campgrounds in the Valley. Those would likely have to be reserved soon. (When I last checked last year, I think it was four months out.)
