Only a few more sleeps until we’re driving past the windmills and admiring the outrageous billboards on the side of the 10. Our glitter is on and the whole crew’s outfits are sickening. The sun is going down below the San Jacinto Mountains and fireworks light up the sky.

The only thing more magical than that is how much better LA traffic will be once all the degenerates (like me) leave town…

Speaking of magic, the Wizarding World of Hogwarts is coming to Cosm next month! Relive Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone in Shared Reality, complete with Butterbeer, Chocolate Frogs, and more hidden surprises. Enter to win a pair of tickets!*
