Blessing in Disguise

Due to the president's visit the other day, I took an alternate route to work to avoid the traffic caused by his motorcade on the 405. Amidst admiring the scenery on my drive over Topanga Canyon to PCH I came across a couple signs I had to check out:

The first is the 2010 Topanga Film Festival. It starts tomorrow and runs through Sunday the 22nd. They have a screening room online that gives you a taste of what you could see at the festival. Their website is: http://topangafilmfestival.com/
They offer complete festival passes or individual tickets.

The second is The Will Geer Theatricum Botamicum. They are currently putting on performances of two Shakespeare favorites, A Midsummer's Night Dream and Hamlet, The Three Musketeers (a classic), as well as two others. Their website is:

I definitely am going to try to get down to both of these this month!
