Yes! We are officially in the season that California does best - SUMMER!!! And to take advantage of the full moon that will be out, I’ve taken over your daily thread (thanks, girls) to bring you some adventures for the weekend guide.
EAT: at Andiamo in Silverlake all day Saturday.
This Italian restaurant with a 4-star chef emphasizing organic menu options, fair trade coffee, and biodegradable take-out dining ware, will open on Saturday with a full day of fun and food. There will be bands, DJs, a new photography exhibition and a free raffle with gifts from local business like Paradise Nails, Orange 20 Bikes, Front Street Clothing Store, Sugar Hair Salon, Anna Kaye Shiatsu and Pazzo Gelato.

SHOP: at Clout Rideshop in Malibu Saturday night from 6 p.m. - 10 p.m.
Pink Cloud Events is partying with Clout Rideshop Malibu to celebrate their grand re-opening. The 2,800 sq ft. store has been completely gutted and rebuilt exclusively with materials donated from torn down Malibu beach homes and rescued items from local marine junkyards to be a creative and fun place to shop for surfboards, skateboards and quite possibly your summer love.

WATCH: Environmental films at the L.A. Film Festival Saturday.
The first weekend of the L.A. Film Festival is happening in Westwood Village.

THINK: with the Los Angeles Idea Project (LA-IP) Sunday from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.
Some of the greatest L.A. minds from a wide range of disciplines are coming together at Barnsdall Art Park up in the Los Feliz hills to talk on topics as diverse as sustainable land use, human trafficking and, most importantly, imagination as a powerful tool to change lives. The LA-IP brings dynamic Angelenos together for one whole day every year to share their spark of imagination. More info at www.la-ip.com and http://www.ted.com/.
