Weekend Happenings in Santa Monica - May 18-20

Here’s a partial list of what’s going on in Santa Monica, CA this weekend:

The 21st Annual Santa Monica Festival takes place in Clover Park on Saturday from 11am - 6pm. Billed as “a zero-waste festival filled with eclectic music, dance, visual arts, food, information and shopping”, the festival offers something for everyone while promoting a greener lifestyle. There will also be DIY art workshops, a food salon, and about a dozen food trucks.

For those of you on the north side of town, Montana Avenue will host their annual Sidewalk Sale on Saturday from 10am - 6pm. Sales ranging from 10%-90% off can be found along the tony shopping area which stretches from 7th - 17th Streets.

If you like theater, then you have your choice of checking out two plays which end their respective runs this weekend: Psycho Beach Party at the Morgan-Wixson Theatre, a spoof on the surf and beach blanket movies of the 1960s, or The Rubber Room at the Miles Memorial Playhouse which tackles a more serious matter. The latter is a co-production of West of Broadway and Santa Monica Rep.

The Filmantropy Festival is already underway at Bergamot Station. This festival is showcasing films that aim to inspire change and raise awareness on “important social, economic, medical, environmental, educational and spiritual issues”. A gala awards celebration will cap the festival on Saturday night.

Finally, if you’re looking to enjoy a weekend brunch, stop by Brick & Mortar on Main Street which now opens at 10am on weekends. They offer bottomless mimosas and a bloody mary bar along with breakfast. Another solid option is Bru’s Wiffle on Wilshire Blvd and 24th Street. They just started selling beer and wine, giving you more beverage options to go with your waffles.

That’s just a sample of what’s coming up this weekend in beautiful Santa Monica!

Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth - What’s Next On The Menu

It was a rough weekend, the first one in quite some time. I’m not complaining as it was bound to happen. That being said, it’s about looking forward and forging ahead.

Thunderball - Solar

We reconnected this past January after 8 years. While we always stayed in touch one way or another, we admitted that we never thought we’d see each other again. Yet we did - through some extraordinary circumstances - and we spent a fun afternoon together. I was so happy to see you in person.

We hung out a few weeks ago when I was in town. We enjoyed drinks before walking around downtown, then had a fabulous dinner. There was a point when I took your hand without thinking about it. You didn’t pull it away. My right hand and your left hand slowly clasped together. We held each other’s hand and I was really happy to have you by my side.

====================

Your post earlier today caught my eye:

“I wonder if I’m in your mind as much as you’re in mine? ;)”

Part of me wishes that question were directed at me, because my answer is yes.

That Night

We reconnected after several years. Eight years, to be exact. We had a fun evening together as we caught up, enjoying dinner and drinks throughout. You knew that I’ve always liked you. I knew what was up when you leaned on me while resting your head on my shoulder.

The end of the night was filled with passion, as was the next morning. We each wished that we lived closer to each other. We talked about getting together again even though we have so much going on in our respective lives.

Let’s pick up from where we left off, Baby.

Getting back to mine

It’s been too long but more updates are on the way.

Thanksgiving went well, as did the Christmas season. There was a return to NYC to spend time with family & other close friends. Then the ball dropped and my good fortunes continued in every way.

I hope 2012 is bring you good health, happiness, and fortune.

More to come…
