Tuesday sounds like an awfully good day to go down to San Diego, find a nice beachside coffee shop and take in a good book (I have a lot of reading I'm behind on).
I wouldn't go anywhere near L.A. if they paid me. I dislike crowds and people in general. Hell, I left town for the 4th of July fireworks - lots of people head to the beach right across the street from me to take them in over the Queen Mary (anyone else see the irony in celebrating our independence from Britain by using a British ship as a backdrop? Just sayin'...) Anyway, I had so little interest in going and being part of a crowd I literally left town and came back at about midnight.
People annoy me. Stupid people GREATLY annoy me. Crowds tend to attract lots of stupid people. As such, I typically have VERY little interest in heading to any event where there will be large crowds.
I still think I could make a ton of money selling a bunch of glittery gloves I make for $5 each for $50 a pop, or for selling zombie masks...
If I didn't hate dealing with people so much I'd seriously do it just to capitalize on all the loonyness.
