This week the foundations are getting set up for Pershing Square's annual ice rink, scheduled to make its season debut on November 15th. Skating runs until 10pm each night, seven days a week. One hour of skating will run you $6, with skates an extra $2.

If you haven't made it out to the ice before, it's certainly worth doing. Yes, the rink is small, but just consider how absurd it is to be on ice skates in the middle of Downtown Los Angeles. I think given that, we can excuse small. More information at Pershing Square's website.

Nothing could be more absurd than looking out your window onto a sunny southern California tableau and witnessing a Zamboni machine hard at work for two months out of the year.

Woohoo!!! Time to get the skates sharpened.

Hopefully, Parks & Rec will dump the dopey concert series and leave us skaters in peace.
