So, You Want to Visit Southern California?

Two days of running this week. I am heading out soon for day 3. Well. Okay. It’s not really running. Yet. More like a waddle. But I’ll get there. Eventually.

While I was out, I was thinking about the fact that several of my out of town runner friends have recently visited Southern California lately. But why? I decided to put this little public service video together:

So, if it has crossed your mind, don’t *even* think about moving to Newport Beach. Believe me. The downsides just don’t make it worth moving here….

You are crazy...I've been a fan of NP my whole life and despite your movie's truths, I'd live there in a minute(if I could afford it!).
Great job though on the movie!!

This is a cool project. You like making movies more than you like running, so this creative burst will get you out there. Good going!
