Got the tip for this wacky fun event from Dave, who I met while “relaxing” at Little Flower Candy. (See, LA’s a friendly place!)
Over 100 artists drawing live while beer by New Belgium Brewing Company will be poured. The Coolhaus [awesome ice cream sandwiches!!], Fresh Fries, and Slice Truck food trucks will be parked outside for your dining pleasure. (more info)
GET SWEET: Valerie Confections
Head downtown via Valerie Confections where Tasting Table notes they’re having an open house. Valerie’s chocolates and jams made from local fruits will make your day and let you take care of your Thanksgiving house gift shopping.
If a monster live drawing rally isn't enough, get there for the ice cream sandwiches.
