Griffith Park fire update

as many of you know the devastaing fires that tore through the los feliz area forced me to evacuate for two days. it was a trying time for me and the people in the hollywood hills.

some of you also know how hard this whole thing has been on me as the park is my backyard and i try to spend as much time there as possible: weekend picnics/BBQ's, a trip to the zoo, the autry museum, evening walks up to the greek theatre for a show, the renowned observatory, and of course, riding my bike. griffith park was a regular meeting place for weekly ALC training rides.

the city of los angeles has created in conjunction with the department of parks and recreation a fund to help re-build and restore the park. interested parties can view the blog on that project here: http://lagriffithpark.blogspot.com/. Also, in September there will be a series of benefits at where else: the GREEK theatre. The goo goo dolls rescheduled their 6-19 show so they can participate in it. All proceeds go to the fund.

take a read. it's worth it. for those who are unfamiliar with the park, it is the largest urban municipal park in the USA. there are so many things you can do there. check it out.
