firstfridays Let’s see … you’ve got the return of Beer & Politics with City Manager Pat West talking about Long Beach’s road (or sharrow) to bike-friendliness, an opportunity to make a mandala (or at the least, discover what the hell a “mandala” is), a chance to witness the one-year-anniversary renewal of wedding vows by Laura and Wade Ashley (or at the least, discover who the hell they are), the spectacle that is the Knolls Ranger (by now, you’ve got to know who he is), an after-hours party with the folks from 562CityLife.com and … more?

Yes, more — although you gotta think that if First Fridays in Bixby Knolls gets much firstier, organizer Blair Cohn is going to need a second Friday … or maybe another Atlantic Avenue … to contain it all.
