Pop Up Picnic

At 3pm today the location for Los Angeles' first pop up picnic was revealed.  Tickets were already purchased, food was prepared, and white clothing had been chosen.  The site of the event was the last tidbit of information we needed.  After we learned we'd be dining on the South Lawn at the Natural History Museum downtown, we loaded the trunk with white plates, glasses, votives, linens and flowers and battled Saturday evening traffic.  Our menu consisted of hors d'oeuvres, citrus chicken, various salads, lemon bars and Veuve Clicque.  Over a thousand people, all wearing white, gathered on the grounds for a late summer picnic.  At 9 o'clock the quartet retired and the DJ started spinning, turning the elegant dinner into a big dance party.  We grooved until our feet hurt, and our sides ached from laughing.  I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but this was truly an exceptional evening.
