From the tone of the comments in this post, a lot of folks are very angry about the Giant Village cancellation. If you want to inquire about refunds and such, we've got the contact info in that post.

We're more interested, though, in the people who wouldn't let the abrupt death of their original plans get them down.

Silverwolf of Blog or Death? opted to stay in and make it a movie night while Denny of What's wrong with Denny joined eecue and an incredibly large crowd at the sports arena for Together As One and seemed to have a grand time.

What did you do instead?

You come to LAist because you want independent reporting and trustworthy local information. Our newsroom doesn’t answer to shareholders looking to turn a profit. Instead, we answer to you and our connected community. We are free to tell the full truth, to hold power to account without fear or favor, and to follow facts wherever they lead. Our only loyalty is to our audiences and our mission: to inform, engage, and strengthen our community.

Right now, LAist has lost $1.7M in annual funding due to Congress clawing back money already approved. The support we receive from readers like you will determine how fully our newsroom can continue informing, serving, and strengthening Southern California.
