Recommendations for parking at the Rose Bowl for UCLA vs USC football game

Hello Pasadena experts, I’m going to the Rose Bowl on Saturday, November 23 for the game. I’ve never been to the Rose Bowl and I am unfamiliar with the area. They have parking at the stadium but I heard you can park somewhere else and take a shuttle, but where would that parking be? Or does anyone know about some other parking options nearby? Thanks!

Where’s your favorite place to get a haircut (for men) ?

I’ve recently moved to Altadena and my barber is all the way in Westwood. So I’m in search of a new barber to avoid the grueling drive to the west side. I have curly hair and I’m looking for someone that understands styling and knows their way around scissors and not just buzz cuts. My budget is around $80-$120. Any recommendations on the east side is highly appreciated.

campsites within 1.5/2 drive of pasadena?

EDIT: 1.5 TO 2 HOUR DRIVE IS WHAT I MEANT! my fiance loves camping and I love to join him, but I haven't quite reached the status of being an equal partner of the planning part of it lol. he is feeling really overwhelmed and has mentioned several times that a camping getaway is what he needs. he's really not picky - of course he loves going to places like mammoth and yosemite, but he could also camp on the side of the road and be somewhat pleased lol. I want to surprise him by booking a camp site and helping to clear our schedule to make it possible. we are in a busy season so the closer it is, the better that will be for us. what are some of your favorite campsites within a 2 hour drive any direction? and also how do I book them? (lol - I need practical help here too) TIA!

RV/Van parking for guests?

Hi all. I have relatives coming to visit us for the holidays for about a month -- and they have a large van/mini RV. I'm trying to help them figure out where they can station this thing for the month, and I don't have a place for them to park at my place.

They'll mostly be staying with us and don't need a lot of in/out access. They're happy to pay. Just need somewhere safe that's legal.

Van is 21' long, 9.5’ high, 8’ wide

I believe street parking is a no-no, and I haven't had success finding a lot that would take a vehicle this size.

Any guidance would be very welcome -- thank you!

Parrots party?!

I was driving on Baldwin Ave around 6 pm and noticed about 100s of green parrots partying on the median trees. Looks like a large breed of long history.

Horn honk guy

So from time to time there are posts on here about the various colorful characters around town like pan flute guy, roller skates guy, and Chief Hunting Bear, but I’ve not seen anyone mention horn honk guy.

He drives around town in a teal blue 50s pickup for hours on end, seemingly as his primary occupation, often making random U turns, and just LAYS on the horn. Honest question: does he think he’s spreading joy or is he actually a pissed off lunatic?
