One cold and scary night, a group of friends set out to explore one of LA’s most well-attended Halloween attractions… The Los Angeles Haunted Hayride… Muahahahahaha! I’ve seen the billboards, heard the chatter, plus one of my actor friends was hired to play the ghost of Tupac so the LA Haunted Hayride was on... Read more »
One of my favorite times of the year… Fair season! Right at that end-of-summer/beginning of fall time-frame the County Fairs come out to play. Going to the Los Angeles County Fair has become somewhat of a tradition. I mean… I’ve only been in LA for two years but I’ve been to the fair... Read more »
