We're converting the metered parking spaces outside of GOOD's LA office into park space today in honor of Park(ing) Day 2008.

You're invited. We'd love to see you.

We'll have a lemonade stand and there are rumors we'll have a taco truck too, and we'll all bring our weekend enthusiasm. Gorgeous weather provided by the city of Los Angeles.

10am-3pm. Corner of Melrose and Orange. Map here.
