I was just reading the LATimes and saw the article "Runnin' with the grunion"

I grew up in LA and always heard about the grunion runs. I never ever did one.

I did however do the Santa Claus Lane Parade in Hollywood a couple of times, it's shot on the Sunday of Thanksgiving Weekend. I even got to be in it one year in High School Marching Band.

I'm scouring my brain and I cannot for the life of me come up with any other LA traditions.

So far in my almost 15 years being here in NYC, I've not done High Tea (that's a mother daughter thing really), gone to Rockefeller Center for the Tree Lighting.

I have been to Times Square for New Year's Eve countdowns on three occassions, twice for fun, once for work.

Quadro has a Xmas party the Saturday before Christmas... I love going to that.

When I started working at MTV I started a tradition of the last day of work of the calendar year, we all meet up at the local strip club. That lasted about 7 years.

Do you have any local traditions? Do you participate in them?
