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.
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!
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!
A wedding and polo!
You have to love these summer weekends. You get a chance to enjoy the sun, the parks, the food, and the company!
This last weekend I got the honor to be a part of Malik’s wedding. Great evening wedding!
The next day we had a chance to BBQ, watch some Polo, and hang with some friends at the Will Rogers State park.
Updated and now mobile
The blog has officially gone mobile. I am writing to you from my iPhone in a mom and pop Peruvian restaurant in the valley called Las Quenas. I updated the version of Wordpress the blog is running and downloaded the WP iPhone app. So beware, now I can blog from anywhere. Hopefully this means more posts.
A pictorial recap
It’s been a busy last few weeks. Here is a pictorial recap of some of the places I have recently visited in the last few weeks.
These first couple pictures are taken at Fernando’s loft. Been to his rooftop pool way too much! The first shot is of Neron in his loft. The second shot is of a few of us hanging out one night in the spa.
This next shot I took when Sandy and I had breakfast in Burbank at Bob’s Big Boy.
We also had a chance to check out Hollywood and Highland afterwards.
Finally, we had a nice dinner at Cafe des Artistes. I have been wanting to take Sandy there for about 7 years now, and she just now finally agreed and of course loved it.
