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!

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.

The Hard (and Organic) Sell

Another three day weekend is coming to a close; Presidents Day. Could totally go for one more day off. Always left wondering where the time goes. All we can do now is sit back and reflect.

To start out the weekend Sandy and I had a terrible dining experience at the Peruvian restaurant Don Felix in Los Feliz. The food and service was horrible; never going back. Anyways, after dinner we headed down to the Wiltern to watch DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist perform the Hard Sell. We went the the Hollywood Bowl show and this one was better. They sounded great and seemed like they were having fun.

The next day Sandy wanted to check out a new organic grocery store that recently opened in Eagle Rock called Fresh & Easy. We ran some errands and did some shopping during the day, then ended up the afternoon at Fresh & Easy.

After the grocery store pit stop we headed to my moms for dinner with the family. While I was there I was able to take a couple shots of the front console on the mustang. Sitting in that car took me back!
