Nothing to Do This Weekend? You Must B...
If you tell me you're bored this weekend, I want to know what kind of cactus juice you've been drinking out in that lonesome desert. California doesn't break for fall or winter, and in fact, many plan their events in October because the venues are more readily available and it's assumed that people will be around rather than on vacation.
