Posted by Part of the work involved in writing this blog is continually pushing ourselves to go out and try (or retry) unique experiences in and around Los Angeles.
So what’s one fun way to create some artificial accountability? Make a big fat list of stuff I want to do and post it online so I can be publicly shamed if I don’t get it all done.

That ought to work, right?!?
Now, some of the items I’ve listed below are places or things I’ve never experienced before, while others might be well known landmarks/spots I’ve visited in the past but I might just really need additional photographs or fresh eyes, or perhaps it’s a gallery/museum with a new exhibit I want to see.
In any case I’m going to write a brand new piece of coverage detailing each experience, including thoughts and photos, all which will be linked below so you can see how it went. I might even make some video content…
For the most part, everything I’ve listed is ‘free’ but there are a few costs for some of items I want to do (renting a kayak, donation based yoga, parking at the Getty Villa, etc…) , which means not everything on this list is 100% free.
But it’s close.
In any case, feel free to copy/paste this 2015 second-half bucket list and give it a go, adding or amending as you see fit.
And most of all, enjoy!
