What makes the West Coast so great to you?

anyone else think this threads name should be changed to "what makes cali so great to you?"
snowboarding and the beach withing a couple hours drive of each other :)
 
heh, well I intended this thread to include people in Oregon, Washington, Az, Nevada, etc. I guess California is really the haven of fun and those other places...well...just don't compare. Las Vegas always holds a special place in my heart though. ;)
Great post ty! Julian is really a beautiful spot.
 
i was just at the huntington a couple weeks ago for the first time, totally awesome...
The japanese gardens took my breath away... i have pics of the wisteria winding around the overhangs.... maybe ill put it up.
I cant wait until all the roses start blooming...

I wrote this in middle school: excerpt from Phil’s paper about California in 7th grade: with some places changed to fit with current times
California to me is hippy kids on a marijuana mission down on OB in SD. Old people with young hearts. Young people with old souls. Carefree loved animals. A land of a thousand parks and all parks used by a thousand people. Its families of all walks of life, nuclear, gay, ect. It’s a place were friendships come easily to those who are honest and open and denied to those who are not. It a place where a punk kid with a Mohawk walks an old lady across the street to guarantee her safety only for her to get robbed by her white collar crime son in a pyramid scheme. It’s a place full of junkies with the heart of poets but the outsides of long since thrown away children. And finally it’s a place that feels like home to whom ever visits or lives here, or even thinks about coming here. I love California because here I am happy.

just adding my voice to the choir. Beautifully worded, Phil. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but I've always believed that a single sentence can paint a beautiful picture. If that is the work of your 7th grade mind, then you truly have the rare ability to paint masterpieces. I trust that you are presently putting this talent to good use.
 
Damn....you guys an gals are makin it reeealy hard to stay in Ohio....hehehe
Because of this thread, I am evaluating what all I need to do to move out there, and when I would be able to do so.
For one, I am not a big fan of being fully clothed all the time, secondly, the BEAACH!!!, and most importantly, my mother lives out there.
*starts packing*
Ohio is flat and boring. Just might be meeting some of you at parties if I do move ;-)
 
for those who have not ridden X at Magic Mountain...
It deserves it's own mention as to why I love California.
It's fucking great....especially ON WEEEED MAN!
 
i was at magic on the 30th and deja vu and X were both closed (as well as spiderman), so i didnt get on them.... thank god those tickets were free.
Poop!
 
It's something in the air, blowing down off the hills lifted out of the ocean, carrying the scent of ancient redwoods and chaparral flowers.
It's something in the air, coming from the meeting of ideas and cultures, converging then reorganizing and diverging only to converge again in new and interesting forms. It's the energy of evolution proceeding at a rapid pace, as people throw aside social norms as we craft a more pluralistic society. There is no "mainstream" here any longer.
With greater diversity comes more variety, more experience with which each person can accelerate their personal evolution--if they should choose to do so. Dancing on a beach overlooking the Pacific to psychedelic trance unheard of in most other parts of the country…watching my friends define the cutting edge of computer animation and visual artistry…hearing my atheist Human Behavioral Biology professor talk about the chaos underlying the interconnectedness of everything…smelling the dankness of the medical marijuana that my friend used to grow…tasting the wonderful Pacific Rim cuisine of San Francisco's culinary cutting edge…
It's a vibe, coming from all the great people who have made this place their home. A more relaxed atmosphere where a random person on the street isn't too uptight to exchange a few friendly words with you. Where a random person will smoke you out because they understand that weed is meant to be shared.
It's all the old chemists who made acid during the 60's, and wanting to pass down an ethos that is being forgotten, one of psychedelics as tools for spiritual enlightenment rather than commodities to get fucked up on. It's all the younger entrepreneurs pushing the field forward creating chemicals not out of the profit motive, but out of the desire to have a new experience and share it with others. Where else do you find so many small-scale chemists who are actually trained and know what they are doing, who are in it for the sacred Love?
In the end, it all comes down to LOVE! In the cradle of the Summer of Love, its really no surprise that Love lives on.
Let the NorCal and SF spirit live on forever!
