looking for places to escape to these days. preferably somewhere outside, wifi not necessary, squatting encouraged. my list so far:

• yahoo center (coffee/hot cocoa/free parking/reminds me to go to gym/lots of people milling around)
• douglas park (may be too soon to go here – too many memories)
• santa monica place (ample seating)
• samo public library
• balconi coffee (need to be in coffee mood, but cozy and quiet)
• lacma! (more interesting than the hospital, but also farther away)
• if you’re gonna mention lacma, then you might as well mention huntington (but now we’re talking much much farther away)
• will rogers (no tables; limited parking passes)
• malibu lumber yard (still a bit far)
• getty brentwood (no free parking)
