That's right, after the hike you are encouraged to join in the mischief of pantless subway riding.  See http://www.guerillaimprov.com/2010/01/267009e6ae96c56cf4f84f30275bbf52.html for details.

Sunday night, get your fire on at FireGroove's Moon Circle at Dockweiler State beach. 7PM to 10PM.  Bring your favorite fire and glow toys. (Bring $5 for parking.)

        <description>Please remember, the time change occurs in the wee hours of Sunday morning, before the hike.  So set your clocks back an hour before you go to bed.  

But this is good.  You'll feel like you're sleeping in.

        <description>This hike was so good last week that we should do it again.  We'll reach the top just in time for a fabulous sunset, and we'll have a full moon for the hike down.

Also, we'll be getting back to the bottom little on the late side, so let's pack some food to share at the top.

        <description>This hike will be at night, with a lovely and somewhat full moon overhead.  Bring a light (flashlight, glow stick, rave light, etc.), a jacket, and moon screen.

From the Nike Station we will have a fantabulous panoramic view of the valley and the west side.  Other things we might see include pretty lights, coyotes, and owls.

        <title>Los Angeles - Dockweiler Beach - 2009-08-02 - 12:00:00</title>
        <description>Host:	 Mindshare LA
Type: Party - Barbecue
Date:	 Sunday, August 2, 2009
Time: 12:00pm - 10:00pm
Location: Dockweiler State Beach

It's summertime in LA - and what better Sunday plan then to hit up a beach BBQ with a bunch of interesting, sexy people?

Dockweiler State Beach has BBQ and fire pit areas on a first come first served basis. We'll get there early to reserve a fire pit so we can make a bonfire and stay until the park closes at 10pm.

WHAT TO BRING:
BBQ supplies, picnic food and drinks (make sure to have no open liquor containers), fire wood, sunblock, hats, blankets, towels, drums, things that float, things that fly, things that bounce ;)

Join Doug's Twitter for up to the minute details, exact location etc:

Dockweiler Beach can get pretty crazy on these summer weekends, especially on party nights. The parking lot may be nearly full during the afternoon, so i highly suggest carpooling. But if you truly desire to avoid the chaos this Sunday, I'm expecting the general beach crowd to start dissipating around 7PM. 

And for those who wish to comb the beach, I suggest we meet up at the BBQ at 4PM.  I'll probably make it by 6PM.

        <description>Escape the heat and escape the crowd.  This is one of my favorite beaches, and well worth the drive.

Because it is a long drive, I would like to get some car pooling going.  I know a lot of us are on facebook, so let's try using the facebook HtG forum to make arrangements.  http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?topic=10317&amp;uid=2226676785

        <title>Los Angeles - RED Rhino Ranch event - 2009-07-12 - 12:00:00</title>
        <description>Join us for a potluck pool party at the RED Rhino Ranch, from 12PM to 9PM.  Bring a swimsuit, a towel, some opinions, and some healthy food.  And, most importantly, bring your sense of humor.

Hiking Option for this Sunday

A few folks have expressed interest in hiking (walk and shop) the Rose Bowl Flea Market.  And, well, why not?!  There is plenty to see &amp; plenty of walking.

Price of admission for the flea market is $8 after 9AM, but there is plenty of free parking.  It will be a rather warm day in Pasadena -- I'm guessing we won't last until closing time -- so remember that the pool at the ranch is waiting for you.

For those of you heading out to explore the many wonders of this monthly flea market, I suggest meeting up at 10AM in front of the big Rose Bowl sign on the stadium.  That's the one just inside the main entrance, designated Gate A.

For more details on the flea market, visit ( http://www.rgcshows.com/RoseBowlFleaMarket/tabid/52/Default.aspx ).

        <description>It'll be warm this weekend, so let's make it an evening hike.  The Huntington Library is having a plant sale, so let's hike in the Pasadena area.  A trek up to Mt. Lowe is just the thing.

And maybe I'll see you at the plant sale.
