Legendary Bingo!

On Wednesday, I partook in my second night ever of Legendary Bingo. Every year in spring quarter, the tour guides go as a group to Hamburger Mary’s, a super duper fun drag joint located on Santa Monica Boulevard in West Hollywood. There are mediocre fries, huge milkshakes serves in margarita glasses, and lots of people…

Hollywood 10K

Recently, I have been preparing for a 10k mile run I am doing with two of my very good UCLA buddies! It’s going to be happening in Hollywood which only makes it a little bit better :). The event is placed in efforts to benefit the Los Angeles Youth Network and LAUSD Beyond The Bell Program….

Disneyland

They say Disneyland is the happiest place on Earth, but what they don’t tell you is that this is  completely and totally true. I went to both D-Land and California Adventure this past weekend, and my day there was pretty close to perfect. I went with a sizable group from UCLA – there were about 30 of…

What happens when 800 Degrees meets the Hammer Museum…

Touring with UCLA Chorale, part II

Even before our scheduled departure time at 1pm on Friday, members were congregating outside the choir room in Schoenberg at…

Farmer’s Market

Last weekend I went to a farmers market in Hollywood. Los Angeles has tons of farmers markets. I think you could find one to attend almost any day of the week. Even Westwood has one on Thursdays. This particular one is nestled a few blocks from the infamous star walk. There is one street that…

Touring with the UCLA Chorale

The UCLA Chorale is scheduled to tour to Phoenix, Arizona for a performance this Sunday at the Arizona Musicfest, and I am so excited to be one of the “artists in residence” this weekend!  To be able to tour with my collegiate choir to perform has been an item on my UCLA bucket list —…

Old Pasadena

Last weekend I ventured out to Pasadena. Old Pasadena has a nice vibe with lots of families and college kids abound. Old Pasadena is a complex location for Bruins. It is fairly close to the Rose Bowl, where we play our home football games. But, it is also a popular spot to live for students…

Keeping up with the Big Dogs

Have you ever attempted to seem really cool and with it and then realized that it is beyond your power to be in control of such a feat? No, just me? You’re all really cool suave people? Well ok then! I have come to a point in my life where I can admit the fact…

How to (not) go to premieres

I had originally planned to write an awesome blog post this week about how I got to go to not one but TWO premieres within the span of five days. But I cannot and will not be writing that post because it turns that I failed miserably and did not get to go to either…
