Once again, it is the “First Friday” of the month on Abbot Kinney! If you have not been, it is a wonderful time and a great way for locals to get to know shop owners and workers in a friendly and fun atmosphere. Food and drinks are served, bands play and money is raised for charity. This month the fund raising is happening at our friends Alex and Eric’s Topo Ranch. See you all there!
First Friday of Happy 2008!
