Long Beach throws party for giant rock

"In Rock We Trust"?

LONG BEACH, Calif. (KABC) -- The 340-ton boulder being transported from Riverside County is inching closer to its final destination at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. On Wednesday, Long Beach hosted a party to celebrate the rock. The theme of the party is "I Want to Rock With You." It kicked off at noon on Atlantic Avenue at 36th Street, where the rock has been parked since it arrived Tuesday night.

It's an inanimate carbon rock! YAY!!

This is really something I'd just assume would happen in Florida, but its nice of California to remind us from time to time they can be equally if not more insane than the Sunshine State. Its not been confirmed, but I'm assuming there will be a parade in honor of the rock in which the rock will be riding in its own limousine. A cover on Time magazine is probably right around the corner.
