What a day to go to LA

Today we decided to take a trip into LA. Actually, go to Santa Monica. We have received an invite to attend the Pre-Fab conference taking place, as we had recently inquired about Glide Homes. We are trying to go as simple as possible when building a home and for the least expense also. The Glide home seems like it could be an alternative, or at least provide som insights for an architect.

So....we decide to go. Well little did we know, mostly because we don't watch Telemundo, is that 500,000 mexican people were also going to LA. There was a HUGE, and I mean HUGE crowd of cars on the freeway. The mexicans were in the area for a political demonstration. They were asking people not to support a bill going before the state senate regarding immigration laws. It was good to see so many people working together in a common cause.

Going and coming to LA was terrible. It seemed odd that there were so many people on the road for a Saturday. We were glad to get first hand info from the conference. So many companies were exhibiting, it was great to gather all kinds of info at one time. Next time, however, I'd like to see it hosted in Palm Springs. Please. either that or not on a day that coinsides with a huge political rally.
