Project 365: Day 102
Day 102, originally uploaded by shalimargonzales.
This place is off-the-chains. Cassell's in Koreatown is literally next door to my office. It's seriously an OG burger joint with freshly ground beef (made in AM), hand cut fries, and a buffet that includes canned peaches, cottage juice, and handmade mayonnaise.
Totally weird. Totally LA.

Happy 29th Birthday Sean! In theory, I should have taken a picture of the birthday boy, the massive amount of sangria consumed, or the competitive game of bocce ball. But I left my camera at home so this is the most interesting them I captured today; the promotion of the new X-Men Movie.

Project 365: Day 99
I should add this weekend to my list of LA "firsts". I went to Lightning In a Bottle, a SoCal festival filled with yoga, kombucha, dancing, dirty music, good vibes, and lots of patchouli. Think I'm joking? Check out these workshops:
- Hydroponic Gardening
- Discover the “art of being” (I still don't know what this was supposed to be about)
- Gift Circles and Gifting Economies
- Rite of Passage: The Natural Path to Leadership
- Resilient Community Organizing
After spending 2 days with the "Nail Crew", I headed back to the real world of Mob Wives, Oprah's final episode, and Candace's cooking.
Complete photo series after the jump....

Day 98, originally uploaded by shalimargonzales.
Having a car fucking rocks! I'm on my way to some ranch in the middle of SoCal for Lightning in a Bottle. (Think of it like Burning Man with more yoga)Despite debating for months on whether I should I attend, I decided, thanks to Twitter, to go for it. A group invited me to share their campsite and show me the ropes.
Armed with my camera, water bottle, and ipod, this is going to be EPIC. Pics to come shortly.

Project 365: Day 97
Day 97, originally uploaded by shalimargonzales.
Have you ever though to yourself, "I wonder what $80 worth of trail mix looks like? Well, your question has now been asnwered. Shira, aka "The Mule" loaded up her suitcase with 2 giant bags on trail mix, protein powder from Madison Market, and several back issues of the New Yorker.
Why the trail mix? Well, after visiting several Whole Foods, I learned that not all trail mix is created equal, nor sold at all stores. This means my favorite Mt.Washington mix can only be purchased in SEA.
Attention future guests from SEA, I expect the same.
