Week of 3/8....

Welcome back to Fabulous Things To Do In LA :) I know it's been awhile, I just moved to Redondo, so I felt it was time to bring it back..There are some really fun events coming up esp. for St. Patrick's Day, and of course the way gas is going up in price, happy hours and sample sales are always welcome:)!! I added a new category, cute date deals, and I really want to check out the "Do Good Bus Ride" on 3/9, a mystery community service adventure?? I'm so in :)
