the GLOWness








Last night was GLOW - an art and music event at the pier in Santa Monica. It was so much fun!! They had all different types of interactive art installations that mostly revolved around lights and the ocean. It was also the running of the grunions - which was funny to watch. The event started at sunset and went until sunrise. We didn't last that long. Around 2am we decided to go home - but there were still tens of thousands of people roaming the streets. The city estimated around 20,000 people at the event, but I would say it felt like double that amount.

We started the night out at a friends house with a BBQ and some beers. He is a friend that I went to school with and never see (even though we live 2 miles apart - it's kind of ridiculous) Him and his girlfriend have a boxer named Sukki and they were house sitting their neighbor's dogs - the little one is named Ziggy. So freaking cute! Derek fell in love with him immediately. He is only 5 months old and is the sweetest puppy ever.

It was a really fun night. I hope they decide to have the event again next year.
