Fallen Fruit Trees

On Thrusday night, I went with the Punch Studio Art Department Ladies to an opening at Royal T Cafe - a fantasy/Alice & Wonderland themed show. The art was not much to mention, but there were free "Eat Me" cupcakes, great costumes, and free absinthe cocktails, and a fun free photo booth.
Today, I joined Agata and her niece Amber in a trek to LACMA, for free fruit trees. There is an on-going art project by a group called Fallen Fruit, who map public fruit trees and fruit overhang so you can eat through the city for free, and they kicked off 9 months of upcoming EATLACMA events with this weekend, 2 days of handing out free fruit trees. (EATLACMA, Fallen Fruit's nine-month series of events with tree adoptions, followed by lectures, tours, artist-curated gardens and food-themed art installations) Read more about them "here!" So Agata and I each got a California Cutie orange baby tree. Mine is already planted in the backyard, cozy and ready to grow!
After checking out the BCAM with some random free tickets from a nice lady outside, we headed over to Manni's Bakery for lunch. Amber got a chocolate raspberry cupcake with a heart on it, and it looked delicious! A lovely unexpected day of friends and trees! The next Fallen Fruit event at LACMA I really want to go to: bring tomatoes from your garden to the museum and make salsa, accompanied with Latin Salsa dancing lessons! Spicy!
