Spot of Spots

Thank you, Frank W., Manhattan, NY for your review of the LA River Bike Path in Los Angeles, CA. 

I don’t love public singing, and I really don’t love public (or private) guitar playing. Getting high in public makes me paranoid. Still, aside from my personal preferences, this is such a delightful review! I love watching ducks, and I love the LA River, and it makes me so happy to hear that someone else appreciates it!

However, I find myself wondering: This sounds like a pretty stellar afternoon, what would it take for you, Frank W., to leave a five-star review?

So, I did some investigating and found this:

Thank you, Frank W., Manhattan, New York for your review of Griffith Park in Los Angeles, CA. 

This also sounds like a stellar afternoon.

Frank W…

I’ve always been jealous of people who can handle marijuana. I either need to call 911 or fall asleep immediately, there’s rarely an in-between, but you make me want to lay on a picnic blanket in the middle of Griffith Park eating Cheetos and drinking lemonade, giggling the day away. The closest I've come to that is taking a teeny bite of an edible and watching a David Attenborough nature documentary, under my weighted blanket, surrounded by lots of water and snacks from the safety of my couch.

I would also like to applaud your attention to fire safety. What a responsible stoner you are! Seriously, brilliant. You should write a book called Safe Travels: A Guide to Getting High in California's Most Flammable City. Or something like that. Just spitballing here.

You almost make me want to see Los Angeles through your eyes, even if they are "as red as the devil's dick" as you say in this review of La Paz's Liquor in Burbank, CA:

Wait a minute... these were all written on May 20th, 2011. How high were you when you decided to later-Yelp, as they might say (no one says that)? Also, I think you might have a substance abuse problem, but that's not my job to assess! Whatever man, just keep the good vibes comin'.

Four out of five stars. 

See you next Tuesday!
