<p>To continue my thread-starting rampage, I figured we should come up with a list of things to do in and around SLO… Try and keep the parameters within one hour’s drive of SLO.</p>
<p>the town is a fun place, and the beach is right there. on weekends get on a train and go to LA, San Diego, or San Francisco (if you are willing to wait a few of hours sitting on a train- sorry this breaks you hour rule). Plus, they have a ton of intramural sports: i personally want to play football, and lacrosse. There are a ton of clubs (more than one hundred), and the school has a bowling league. That is all I can think of off the top of my head, but I’m sure there are things i missed.</p>
<p>haha thats cool i retract my hour rule… anything good to do in SLO or while attending cal poly…</p>
<p>good shopping, and shows in east la.
beaches in slo, pismo, santa barbara.</p>
<p>san francisco is an amazing city - if you are unfamiliar with it, check it out for sure…</p>
<p>Hiking in slo is fun. Especially up to the p.</p>
<p>is that bishop’s peak?</p>
<p>i wanna do that soooooooooooooooooooo so so so bad.
next time for sure.

<p>San Luis Obispo’s Only Locally Owned Movie Theatre
The First Solar Powered Cinema in the USA !!</p>
<p>Showcasing the very best of Independent, Foreign,
Art House, and Mainstream Cinema.</p>
<p>The Palm annually hosts the San Luis Obispo International Film Festival.</p>
<p>The club sports that I’m interested in are rowing and sailing! I’ve been a rower for 4 years so I’m stoked about that, and sailing just sounds awesome. :)</p>
<p>DDR in the arcade 
and the whole arts and crafts center in the student union.</p>
<p>Thursday nights in down town at the market</p>
<p>Actually thats a different one. Bishop’s is fun too. =)</p>
<p>yeah the farmers market looks pretty sweet… good food, can’t beat that. How are the restaurants in SLO</p>
<p>farmers market is a lot of fun! i got free chocolate last time i went :)</p>
<p>the restaurants are good! for a burger or chicken strips.. i’d recommend firestones! i’m a big fan of their chicken strips and tri tip sandwiches! they’ve got a special bbq sauce that’s reallyyy good! for sea food, splash cafe! they’ve got all sorts of different restaurants in slo that are good!</p>
<p>and for the shoppers…there is in fact an urban outfitters in slo!!!
i am so freaaaakin’ excited about that.<br>
favorite store ever, and i never get to go, because the closest one i think is in arden fair mall, or sf.</p>
<p>does anyone know if there are any oxygen or hookah bars in SLO? I’m from boulder, CO so i’m kinda a hippy so that would make me feel more at home haha, jk! </p>
<p>so glad about UO, couldnt live without one, although the online store is equally as good as the regular one.</p>
<p>OH MY GOD Jack we will go shopping together when we get down there. UO is my stoooore!!! And there’s also a Ross and a Gap and a JAMBA JUICEEEE (of course because Jamba was a CP senior project!) and Trader Joe’s and Costco and gaaaaaaaah there really couldn’t be a better downtown than SLO. </p>
<p>One place that I know I’ll be going a lot for Saturday breakfasts and whatnot is Splash Cafe. It’s super close to campus and has great food. It’s on a corner next to a tiny little cute Spanish-looking motel. I think it’s bright yellow? That might’ve just been the vibe I got from it. I dunno.</p>
<p>hahhah yeayyyuuhhh, fersure! i lovvve urban outfitters. so totally my store too! the only place where i can really get clothes that i like…
gap is kind of expensive, and the clothes are sort of boring haha, jamba juice i love, but i have one where i live and go to school so it’s kind of like, oh whatever.</p>
<p>but yeahhhh uo!!! asdkfjasldfj yayyyy! :D</p>
<p>haha i love splash cafe, i went to the one in pismo.
i spent only like 10 minutes on the cp campus last time, i just sort of drove around. we went straight back on the freeway and stayed in pismo overnight. so this time down this spring break will be when i truly explore everything, so i am really excited. haha</p>
<p>i didn’t know there was a UO in slo! that’s great!! do you know where exactly?!</p>
<p>hey jack, maybe i’ll see you there during break :)</p>
<p>Jack, I agree about Gap actually. Khaki and conservative isn’t really my thing, but sometimes they have great T’s and tanks for the gym. And they have some good jeans once in a while! </p>
<p>UO is on Monterey street in the heart of downtown. It’s either one or two streets over from where they hold the farmer’s market. </p>
<p>And I’m pretty sure I’m going down there for Spring Break as well! Is your guys’ breaks the last week in March?</p>
<p>hmm i don’t know i could have missed it! but then again.. i spent most of my time eating in town on higuera haha</p>
<p>and yes! i’ll be there march 24th to march 29th!</p>
<p>Me too! Perhaps I’ll run into you! :)</p>
