I'd like to test our governor because I think he's under somekind of wonder drug that makes his lizard brain hidden from the world.

Don't know if it is still active, but there used to be a website called the 405 Club where people posted things to do for cheap/free as well as info about co-op food groups and the like. Wealth of information about free afternoons at various museums and the like (unadvertized deals).
