rePLANET

You probably know by now I am the L.A. Sightseeing Examiner for examiner.com.  I also write another blog, CaliforniVacation: SoCal Style.  I love writing about things that I would imagine most tourists to SoCal wouldn't normally know about the area, like California's C.R.V.  In writing about this, I was amazed at what I found out and things I'd assumed about the program.

With that in mind, I am going to start my search with rePLANET and see what happens.  LET's PLAY!

Project Warmth: Giving A Little Warmth This Winter To Those Living on the Street

You may or may not know but I write another blog, CaliforniVacation: SoCal Style, which also tracks with my duties as the LA Sightseeing Examiner for examiner.com.  I've sort of given myself the self-imposed rule that I write only about events I intend to attend or places I've been...sights I've seen.

I was invited to the Project Warmth event by a Facebook friend and would have attended if I wasn't going to be celebrating my Uncle Larry's birthday and the attempt to break the dreidel spinning record at the lighting of the third menorah candle at the Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica.

That's when the light bulb clicked on.  We all know there is more than one path to reach just about any destination.  So, in order to write about this event I am going to start today's game by searching for YouTube videos tagged with "uWink", which is the Hollywood and Highland in Hollywood venue for the Project Warmth fundraiser.

Let's Play!

Video #1, uWink - High Tech restaurant in Hollywood



Video #2, Apple Store Stune - Eat an Apple and Freeze



Video #3,  Best Funeral Ever (Faked for April Fools 2009)



Video #4, The Camera Flash Experiment



Video #5, The California Stereotype Experiment



Video #6, Smosh - Sparky Goes To A Club

¿Qué?

I learned a new word today.  It is "berm".  It is in honor of the inspiration for my new knowledge, I choose video #1.

Let's Play!

Video #3,  Pink Floyd, Another Brick In The Wall



 Video #4, Time, Pink Floyd



Video #5,  Pink Floyd - 1973 - Dark Side of the Moon



"Matter of fact, it's all dark."  I love that line.

Video #6, Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here



Okay, I chose video #6 just for the picture representing the video.  Ah, Pink Floyd.  Who knew berm would lead to Pink Floyd.  BTW, which one is Pink?  ¿Qué?

P.S.  In case you do not habla, ¿Qué? is Spanish for what.

I was quite tickled to spy a dad and his son using one of those sledding saucers to slide down the mini hills they erect along the beach in the winter as sort of bagless sand dikes.
