Santa Monica Pier

Hey everyone,

   Hope you're all settling into the sunshine and fast times that is life in LA.  I wanted to let you in on an event we're having on SUNDAY JUNE 8TH.  We'll be traveling down to what's considered around here as THE place to be at on the weekend: the Santa Monica Pier.  There's soooo much to do down there including an awesome boardwalk filled with shops, a big arcade, a vintage merry go round, an aquarium, tasty Mexican and seafood restaurants, not to mention it's got it's own amusement park with a completely renovated Ferris wheel with a fantastic view of the ocean.  Plus the weather is looking nice so there should be plenty of time for some relaxing fun on the beach.

We'll also be there the same day that the New York Trapeze School has its official opening so who knows what kind of crazy stunts we might see!

  So grab your friends and your beach gear and meet us down at the South Clubhouse at 10am for carpools and directions.

For all TVLand Awards Goers:  Don't worry you won't miss out!  The awards show is down in Santa Monica as well and doesn't need us there until 2pm, so bring your dresses or suits with you and we'll do some touristy fun before the event.

Directions: To get to Santa Monica you'll have to take the I-101N to the I-405S to the I-10W.  Exit the freeway at 4th/5th Street exit.  Go north on 5th St. to Colorado Ave.  Make a left on Colorado Ave and drive straight to the Pier at Ocean Avenue.  If the parking lot is full, make a left on Ocean Avenue and proceed two blocks.  Make a right turn on Seaside Terrace.  Follow the sign to Pier/Beach parking.  Also for a quick look at parking before you leave visit: http://parking.smgov.net/
