Everyone knows Newton's law about a body at rest and it not wanting to even get up off the couch because it's so lazy. That's where I'm at. I have been a crazy amount of lazy, not even motivated to watch TV because it would be too much like work. Yeah, bad times for Vinnie. If I were playing Gauntlet Legends, an echoing bass voice would be saying:
"RED ARCHER NEEDS QUEST, BADLY!"
(I always play as the red archer, so I know this voice is talking about me)
I was at lunch with my friend Scott today when that voice about the quest came up (it had previously focused on Red Archer needing food badly, but with that foe vanquished the voice moved up Maslow's hierarchy and stated the next thing I needed in order to stay alive: A QUEST! Scott presented a cunning one indeed. He laid the challenge before me to create a list of the top 50 things to do in LA and DO THEM! Thus ensuring material for me to write about in this here little blog of mine, and also include pictures as proof, which I'm told this blog has been lacking.
This is where I need your help. Please help me populate my list!
I did find a list of 100 free things to do in LA. Please add to this list or tell me which ones you would like to see me do first! (I'll attach the list as a comment, it's 8 pages long and only goes to 91, because the last 9 were concerts that are mostly over)
Quest officially accepted, and open to further side-questing!
