Things to do in the Dark

The LA Times ran "7 Things to do in the Dark" yesterday, and the list was a little lame if you ask me.

Things that could have replaced others or made the list longer to include...

...playing mini golf "in the dark"

..driving Mulholland Drive at night.

... catching an event at the Ford, Greek, or Hollywood Bowl.

...driving over the illuminated Vincent Thomas Bridge.

...driving on the 110 and looking to the east to watching all the planes queue up as they approach LAX.


Well, there's five more that could supplant (or add to) five of your choosing on the Times' lackluster list.

For the 110 idea, it's even better to drive east on the 105, especially if you've got a convertible.

You can go to Dockweiler Beach and start a bonfire at one of the pits and roast marshmallows and hot dogs. At the same time, you can watch the LAX planes fly overhead. It's safer than trying to drive and plane spot on the freeway.

You can wait in a car, behind a line of for the Holiday Festival of Lights, in the dark part of the route just before the wattage. We at View From a Loft call it "festival of darkness"
