Here are some of the non-work-related highlights:
- The hotel was insane! They booked me in a room on the 30th floor which faced West. You really didn't have to ever leave the hotel if you didn't want to. It was like a city in itself.
- Since I was facing West, I saw the sun set every night and I could aaaaaalmost make out the Hollywood sign.
- The room was immaculate and the entire West wall was comprised of a series of windows. At night I would completely open the blinds and fall asleep looking at all the city lights. It was (to say the least) inspiring! I took pictures but of course my camera phone is lacking.
- My Sacto girl arranged for a (big) bottle of Crown, an assortment of non-alcoholic beverages, ice, a flower and a card to be delivered to my room. It made my whole week! T, you soooooooooo rock girl! It's sooooo ON when I get back to Sac.
- The hotel room in which I stayed had a clear view of the other hotel rooms to the North of me and I saw a couple going at it. I think she was a call-girl. She had rhythm but he totally sucked. Dude looked soooo awkward that I couldn't bring myself to look after about 2 minutes.
- I had forgotten how different the girl to guy ratio is there as it's compared to D-town. Gaaaaaaaawd, LA is jam-packed with beautiful women. I think I'll stop there before I get myself in too much trouble.
- I saw more Lamborghinis, Ferraris and Masaritis than I have ever seen.
- I saw more bums and crazy people than I have ever seen.
- The sushi was out of control. Probably some of the best raw fish I've ever had in my life.
- Green tea was everywhere. I still think that stuff tastes like crap but I've heard it's like THE thing to put in your body.
- I don't think I've ever paid $5.00 for a bottle of water so that was a new experience. I'm a big fan of the company dime!
- I finally saw the Santa Monica Pier. We had dinner at one of the restaurants. Very good. Very over priced...but very good.
- Late business dinners prevented me from checking out all that the night life has to offer but I'm sure I'll be back there soon...maybe even as soon as next week.
It's good to be home.

Brownie: Oooooooh, You're killin' me! Well, I could expound on CISCO content switches and how we communicate over RF using UDP but I decided you probably weren't interested in that.
Welcome back Jimmy!

That is absolutely frickin' hilarious!

You owe yourself a trip to Seattle then. Homeless capital of the world! Okay, maybe just the US. Anyway, lemme know when you book your tickets. ;)
All those women you said you saw looked like pigions to me??
Ever: Thanks brother! It's good to be home. Seriously! That guy looked like a monkey trying to bang a football. So funny! And, heeeeeeell yeah! I do need to get out there to see ya! I've never been to Redmond and I'd love to check out the campus.
Anonymous: haha! I didn't really take any pictures of them. Sorry. You're just going to have to go experience it for yourself.
