  Ewww, classical . . . does anyone even listen to that boring old stuff anymore? Well, turns out a lot of people do. Especially when it's boomed out live under the stars, a majestic testament to mankind's creativity and the overwhelming grandeur of the heavens. Los Angeles has the Hollywood Bowl. Orange County has Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre. And when the Pacific Symphony Orchestra—one of the most distinguished in the country—perform there, it's a sight to see and a sound to hear. There's nothing like feeling the night breeze on your skin heightening your anticipation as the orchestra tune up. Even if you don't have any classical music on your iPod, it's hard not to be moved by this experience. Also, tickets in the nosebleeds are very reasonable, so you can make your date think you're a hoity-toity cultural elitist for cheap.
