    • Thursday - 9 a.m. - Metro's monthly board of directors meeting.

    • Friday-Saturday-Sunday - L.A.'s humongousest walking event of the year - miles and miles, including great hidden stairways and other overlooked neighborhood treasures - it must be The Big Parade.

There's a prologue walk Friday 9:30 a.m. out of Griffith Park - see Facebook event details. If you want to drop in and out of the long, long walk, get status updates via The Big Parade Twitter feed @bigparadeLA.
