\"Cbadmag708\"<\/a>The new issue of Carlsbad Magazine<\/a><\/em><\/strong> features a list of the Top 10 things to do in Carlsbad. What’s number one? The editors really reached on this one: The Beach. Apparently, there are “at least 10 different things to do at the beach.”<\/p>\n

The only actually interesting thing on the list is the Museum of Making Music<\/a><\/strong>, and it was number seven. Oh, and number 10? Shopping. Right. <\/p>\n

For the real goods check out the story on the Locals’ Top 25<\/strong>. That list is for people who enjoy Carlsbadistan<\/em>.<\/p>\n

A couple activities, however, were apparently left off both lists. Here are a few of them: <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Get all mellow<\/em> and post artistic observations<\/a><\/strong> to a blog.<\/li>\n
  2. Ride a cruiser home drunk from Dinis<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. Talk loudly about how rad things used to be on the patio at Pizza Port<\/a><\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  4. Set up lawnchairs and umbrellas with all your salty buddies and oogle young mom’s as they push strollers past OffShore.<\/li>\n
  5. Park your monsterous motorcoach on top of the seawall, put all your furniture on the lawn (including your TV, electric grill, and inflatable pool), and pretend you live here.<\/li>\n
  6. Set off fireworks every night of the year, just when people are getting to sleep.<\/li>\n
  7. Let your dog take huge, runny dumps on the sidewalk and then leave them there for everyone to admire.<\/li>\n
  8. Speed up and down Coast Highway in your 2007 Chevy Malibu and gas it whenever you see people stepping into a crosswalk.<\/li>\n
  9. Get into late-night arguments with your boy\/girlfriend outside someone else’s window at 1:30 in the morning.<\/li>\n
  10. Spend the day sitting at Starbucks frightening people with your leering, creepy glances.<\/li>\n
  11. Let all five of your dogs loose to run on the beach.<\/li>\n
  12. Have a romantic Carl’s Jr. dinner on the beach, then leave all your trash on the sand.<\/li>\n
  13. Race up Garfield like you’re in the Indy 500.<\/li>\n
  14. Kayak into the lineup at Tamarack.<\/li>\n
  15. Yell into your cellphone during dinner at Jay’s Gourmet.<\/li>\n
  16. And at least once a month, move your bowels under the Hemlock Stairs.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    There’s more, but we really need to go get some coffee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
