Thirty Day LA

Since I have started to do things in LA on my own for all of three days, I now declare myself an expert on the subject. And to commemorate my ascent into expertdom concerning all matters of Lonely LA Living, here’s my list of top ten things to do in LA by yourself.

• go to any one of the countless coffee shops with wireless (Welcome Café, Unurban, Abbott’s Habit)
• kill time at the beach and swim in the sewage-infested waters
• attend a Shakespeare by the Sea production
• visit your local farmer’s market
• sing in front of a supportive, boisterous crowd at a karaoke dive bar (Backstage, Liquid Kitty, Gas Lite, Tattle Tale Room, The Hideout on Tuesdays)
• attend a free outdoor concert at Santa Monica Pier
• drink swamp juice and listen to blues and jazz at Harvelle's
• eat at the sushi bar at Sakura restaurant
• go on a night hike at Griffith Park or a day hike in the Santa Monica Mountains
• explore downtown LA with a camera
• watch a movie at the Arclight and buy music at Amoeba

Of course there's always stuff like working out or masturbating, but you don't have to be in LA for that. You can do that shit anywhere.

Feel free to contribute your own favorite LA-related alone-time activities. I bet they’re not as good as mine.
