August was a fun month.
Jen and I started out by going camping with Matt and Cheryl in Big Sur. It's a great yearly retreat that also serves as a celebration for Matt's birthday. Swampy and Jenny joined us this year as well.
The standout big trip of the August and the Summer was to the windy city of Chicago. I made it to the last old ballpark that I wanted to see, Wrigley Field. We got a killer pad to stay at with a view of Lake Michigan and the rest of downtown.jen is always taking pictures of me and I always try to stop her so she has a bunch of photos of me trying to avoid being photographed. She created a funny post on her blog displaying all the lovely photos of my trying to dodge her camera's eye.
Last weekend me, Vic, and Brent went to the Sunset Junction and had a blast walking around Silverlake drunk and rocking out to some cool bands.
The gf and I closed out the month with an unplanned concert at The Forum. We rocked it hard core style with my buddy Pete and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. John Frusciante is one of my favorite guitarists. When he and Flea jam together it is simply pure rock and roll bliss.
Recent activities have included seeing The Racontuers which was fun but I was a bit drunk and sat way up in the back at The Wiltern so the show was really nothing to get into details about. The Flaming Lips at The Hollywood Bowl was a great time. I didn't know you were allowed to bring your own food and booze into the venue! Woo hoo! The next couple of shows I go to there are going to really be fun. The music was good but the Lips themselves were a bit of a drag. I think it was in large part due to the fact that Wayne was egging the audience on to sing along and be loud ("c'mon guys, really be loud this time") because they were filming the show for a DVD.
Both those events were a couple of weeks ago now. This past weekend was a nice one as me and the girl went down to La Jolla to see some friends get married. A really nice wedding and the fastest on record in my book. The ceremony was about five minutes! No joke. This weekend we're headed off to the north for our annual camping trip with the Manzers and whoever else shows up. Should be a blast and I hear the state park that we're staying at now has free wifi.
I can't believe it's August already!
