Browse Day: May 30, 2010

I’m in the mood for jello…

On Saturday morning, we took Koa to Fort Funston. Koa had a great time and as Jes said on our way back to the car, it was “nice and very restorative” for the both of us. I’m so relieved to actually have Memorial Day off this year.  I was in need a good “stay-cation” and it’s starting off well.

Later in the evening, we met up with the Masayas for an evening of Lakers Basketball at the usual place and in the usual seats.  We sat in the corner that we took over last season when the Lakers won the Championship.  Must have been good luck for us because the Lakers had to squeak out a win after going into the 4th quarter leading by 17 points.  By the last minute and a half of game play “the game [was] in the fridge: the door [was] closed, the lights [were] out, the eggs [were] cooling, the butter [was] getting hard, and the Jell-O [was] jigglin'”.  Ah…I miss the days of Chick Hearn.

Rockstar on Tour

Our friend Joel was on a 7-week tour around the country and his 3rd to last stop was San Francisco.  So, we went out on Wednesday night to watch him play.  It was at the Regency Ballroom where it was filled with lots of early-20-somethings ready to party.  I, on the other hand, was ready to shoot some photos of Joel and the band but had to check my camera at the coat check because it looked “professional”.  Bummer.  Next time I’ll have to ask him for a press pass or something.

Everest – Joel is the guitarist on the far right.

So, I got this photo (above) with my trusty iPhone and then later got my camera back to take a group photo by the bar.

Everest came out with a new album a couple weeks ago so we bought a copy directly from them (to maximize their profit) and a couple t-shirts too.  Sounds like one of their new songs is being played in LA on KROQ.  That’s cool.  Good luck with the new album, Joel!
