Friends, friends, plugs for friends, and more friends

These last few days have been busy, fun-filled. Friday was a combined birthday celebration for Ro and two others from work, Mike and Roslyn. The evening began with wild sushi, sake bombs, and dancing waitstaff at Tokyo Delve's. Then off to the Greens, which is mini-golf in the sense that they took a real golf course including sand traps, water hazards, landscaping, natural grass rough, and contoured greens, and shrunk it down so every hole is 60-120 foot putts. Hung out with Ryan and his woman and a friend. Got home later than anticipated and went to bed.

Saturday David came to town from NYC, nominally for business but we did dinner and drinks and he stayed two nights by my place. Then hit Hard Rock where some friends of mine, Betas Lucas and Josh (and the other band members Peter and Derek), were playing a set and celebrating their demo release. Enter the first "shameless plug" in my post: their band, Warren Charles, sounded really good, and at their website you can get a few MP3s of theirs for free. After-party at Lucas' place was fun, and Dave and I met some new people and I caught up with some other Betas, namely Ho and Nic. Leading to plug #2, Nic's website, Heirloom Works, that describes the process he goes through while sculpting "heirloom pieces" out of wood.

Sunday Dave and I drove around so he could do some work, and then we went to snack and the beach at Santa Monica. Home and then the weekend exhaustion set in. Only for me to wake up super-early for work this morning.

Today evening I got a call from Jared, and so now I'm excited that two more friends (he and Marc) are coming to visit in a few weeks while they're road-tripping through Cali.

Yeah, my posts lately have been bad. But my life has been good. Who has time to sit in front of the computer and type away??
