Great show watching Thom Yorke & Flea at the Orpheum in downtown Los Angeles.

It’s been a while Part 4
Okay, so this should be the final installment of my pictorial recap. For the most part, we should be all caught up and now it’s up to me to keep things more up to date.
We first start out with the fires that burned in Los Angeles at the end of August and early September. It was another summer full of fires in southern California. This picture from Fernando’s rooftop is of the fires in La Canada.
After this photo we headed to little Tokyo for some food and store browsing. Love me some slightly ackward Japanese toys. Here is some sushi toys.
Been going to the North Hollywood dog park with Neron on Sunday mornings. Took some quick shots of the electrical towers next to the dog park.
At the beginning of October I got to see Thom Yorke play at the Orpheum in downtown LA. He put a quick band together (which included Flea and Nigel Godrich) and put on an amazing show consisting mostly of songs from his solo album and some new tunes. Flea rocked it and Thom Yorke was on point, as always. Here are a couple shots.
Last week I had to fly into New York on business. Flew in and out for an all day meeting and was not able to see much of the city. I was able to get a couple pics of Grand Central Station.
It’s been a while Part 3
So this is part three of the recap installment. Check the previous two post for the earlier parts of the pictorial recap.
First up, in mid July, is a Peruvian festival the family got a chance to check out. The food was great and it was good to see so much Peruvian food in one place.
In early August we got a chance to have a mini staycation in downtown Los Angeles. On the first afternoon we checked out the exhibit at the MOCA.
They had a room full of Rothko paintings.
Had a chance to walk around and appreciate the buildings architecture of downtown.
Finally, walked over to LA Live and checked out a mini tournament the Lakers were hosting.
It’s been a while Part 1
Sorry for being away for so long. Been busy and put blame on work and life. I have been bad on regularly updating this. Need to improve on that. Anywho, here is a pictorial recap of random events in the last couple months.
First off, back in June, I got a chance to check out the e3 (video game conference). Some of the highlights were Beatles Rock Band, DJ Hero, Microsoft Project Natal, and XBOX 360 social media integration. Here are some random pictures from the day.
Another great thing about e3 this year is that the Lakers were in the play offs.
Late in June we went to Dwell on Design with the family. Great source of inspiration and got ideas for the house. Checked out some great furniture too.
It’s summer time! Few things happen in summer. The kidde pool gets inflated, and art goes up on the walls at work.
Catching up
So… sorry for the lack of updates the last few weeks. Been super busy with life but wanted to catch up on a couple recent happenings.
First off, the family got to hangs on the beaches of San Clemente a few weeks back (check the previous Easter post from the iPhone). Completely relaxing and completely needed. Here is the view from the patio. Pretty sweet!
These next shots were taken at the Fiest Broadway festival in Downtown LA. The festival itself was whatever. A lot of “spin the wheel for a free bottle opener or pen” booths.
But the family did get a chance to eat in the Grand Central Market. Really great place. Totally recommend trying to make it out there. Had some great mexican food!
Kogi, the Korean Taco Truck
Having been wanting to try Kogi (the Korean BBQ taco truck) since I first heard of it about a month back. I love taco trucks and the fusion of Korean BBQ sounded like heaven on earth. Only in LA! Follow the taco truck on twitter at @KOGIBBQ.
Well, Mochi was able to have Kogi cater Molly’s birthday in downtown LA. No way I was going to miss that. During the day at work we got the massive shipment of vendor gifts. Calories up the wazoo!
I made sure to stay hungry towards the end of the day so i would have my fixin of Kogi.
Holiday parties!
Tis the season. You have to love holiday season. Sales in the department stores, everyone seems to be a little happier, and everyone throws holiday parties.
This year had waaaaaayyyy to much wine at DVB’s place. Started out the night checking out Molly & Mochi’s new loft in downtown. I am f*cking jealous!
We then all headed over to the west side for the holiday festivities. Here is a picture I barely remember taking. Shortly after this is where my memory begins to fade. Good times!
Another downtown family fun day.
Had another family fun day in downtown on a nice Sunday afternoon. The tour started at the Barker Lofts. Urth Cafe recently opened up and wanted to do the taste test. Breakfast was pretty good, but it ain’t cheap! Didn’t get a chance to try it, but I hear the pumpkin pie is legendary here!
After the MOCA we went back to the Barker Block to check out the Festival De La Gente.
The food festival
So my favorite annual Japanese food festival took place last weekend and it again lived up to expectations. All you can eat Japanese food, plus all you can drink sake and beer, make for a wonderful festival! Here are a couple pictures I took from the days festivities.
The ladies took place in rolling a 40 foot sushi roll! After that we chilled in the garden and tried to sober up! It was a great Saturday!
10k Human Race
Did the Nike 10k human race at the end of August. Nike put the 10k together in different cities around the world, all on 8/31/08. Big ups to my fellow Peruvian brothers who ran the race in Lima! After the race, us in LA were treated to a show by Kanye.
Nike always organizes a great race and I had a really good time. I met my goal on not stopping through out the whole race, but I did have to stop for a pee break along the course!
