How many times have you had or overheard this conversation? “LA is so different from New York. In New York there’s so much access to diverse cultural activities.” And then eventually the movie Crash is mentioned, yadah yadah(Did I spell that right?)and the typical comment about no great pizza here. The real truth is LA has plenty of fun and interesting cultural things to do. The difference is here, you gotta seek it out. See New Yorkers, we here on the West Coast have to work for our culture. We’re not so lucky to be spoon-fed, except when eating after a Botox treatment. Don’t judge. When car airbags fail, Botox is a AAA rated last layer of protection. But, let me get back to my job; giving great information on great dates.
LACMA has a lot to offer when it comes to Art, Film, and Music. All year long they feature free music concerts in the evening. They’re organized into seasons. Some Jazz, Classical, and Latin. Their classical season started today and runs every Sunday at 6pm(Check website for details). While classical may not be for everybody, the fact that it’s free gives you no excuse to not give it a try. If you don’t like it, leave and pat yourself on the back for stepping outside your comfort zone. You get an “A” for effort. “Gold star for Marcus!!” Ok seriously, let me bring it back like a Boomerang ; ) The music along with a stroll through the museum is a fantastic date. And don’t feel like you have to take the art so seriously. Think about having fun trying to think of what the artist’s intentions were and compare. This would be where you’d be pulling things out of your ass. Not literally!! That’s performance art and not recommended for most dates.
