Carrie and I went to Maui a couple of weeks ago. What a relaxing time. We are now both spoiled and cannot stay anywhere else but the Four Seasons. We also loved zip lining through the forest and Caneoing. Averaging twelve hours of sleep was also great! Cannot wait to go back!

I never thought I was going to go. I remember a couple of years ago joking with Clayton about going. I seriously thought it was a bunch of hippies in the desert doing God knows what. Now that I have gone it was such a life changing experience. So much, that I wish sometimes that my regular life was similar to the life on the Playa but I digress. I was so lucky to have the best camp mates: Adam, Eric, Joyce, Liz and Trevor. Thanks guys for showing me a great time. We also had the best neighbors we could ask for: Donna, Matt, Sky and Tony. I am excited to be a burner and cannot wait to back home to Metropolis next year.

I told myself I wouldn’t blog anymore but reading other people’s blogs it made me just want to write more. Go figure. Carrie and I just got back from an amazing vacation. It was very relaxing and I am glad we went. Will blog more about it later. I need to install some plugins to get this thing running again. Until next time.
Last Saturday Adam, Carrie and I got in our rented Chevy Impala and headed to SF. We didn’t head straight there though. We stopped in Santa Maria to pick up Ellie who is doing her externship there. Poor Jelly! The cool thing was though we got to have lunch in Pismo Beach at the Cracked Crab. We all shared a bucket of crab and it was delicious.
We got back on the road and found out that Chinese women are narcoleptic as Carrie and Ellie were proof of that. Adam and saw some crazy card board cutouts in Salinas. Very crazy. The 101 is a beautiful drive and I think it’s worth the time to see the farmland and California Coast. I did however take this awesome picture of Ellie.
We get to SF and Cody’s first words to us were, “Why is Manny sober?” We remedied that by going straight to Docs Clock right before dinner. The drinks there are stiff. I loved it. We put away two each and then went to Spork for dinner where Angela and Andy met us. If you decide to eat dinner there I recommend the Tasty Steak with a red wine. The dessert was excellent as well, mmmmmm Pot Brownie. Dinner was long. Very long. We went through multiple glasses of wine and even a dessert wine.
After dinner we went to Shotwells for more wine and beer. At this time I was getting tired and still was putting beer away while playing some pinball. It was great catching up with everyone. I think people were getting tired so we went back to CodJelly’s to hang out.
The next morning I got up early for some reason and just chilled in the living while everyone else was sleeping. SF is so beautiful in the morning. I swear I could end up living there. After everyone got up we chilled on the couch. CodJelly went on a walk and got some coffee, they also brought back cookies. They didn’t bring back regular cookies. They brought back Anthony’s Cookies. These cookies are the best cookies evar. I am serious. You must try these cookies. I order to you. Stop flying and go to SF. NAO.
We finally got our lazy arses out of the apartment and met Andy at Foreign Cinema. I probably had the best brunch of my entire life here. Everything was good. Everything. At one point I think no one was talking to each other because we were too busy enjoying our meal. I fell into a food coma after to the point where I couldn’t even think clearly.
Carrie made room for more cookies so we went back Anthony’s where Dadzitis and Keiko met us up. Dadzitis claims he is going to kill me at Burning Man. I think he will. Desert and alcohol? I might need to make sure I drink water all the time. Anyhoo we picked up more cookies and headed home.
We made a stop in Santa Cruz and walked around for a bit. Dropped of Jelly then headed straight home. I seriously hate renting cars. There is a side story that I don’t want to go into when Adam and I went to go pick up there. Ugh. They also gave us a shitty car. That thing got us there but the Impala is a piece of shit. Way to go Chevy engineers. Anyhoo, it was a great weekend. And as Luda said…”Damn right we’re gonna do it again!”

Saturday morning Adam and I embarked on our 101 photo tour, which we drove from LA to SF along the 101 stopping in Lake Cachuma, Solvang, Santa Cruz and San Francisco. We stopped at Lake Cachuma (which is near Santa Barbara) to see if we could shoot some wild life but it was crowded and nothing cool to shoot because it was pretty dirty. We then left and got back on the road. I saw a sign for Solvang and decided to head on over there. So we stopped in Solvang for lunch; had a beer and Monte Cristos, which were interesting.
I firmly believe after Monte Cristos are a drug, a very bad drug that made Adam have a bad trip. So much where he thought the restaurant we were in was evil. When paid our bill he wanted to pay in cash so we could leave right away. I only had $10 so Adam said he would cover the rest. He claimed I was taking too long to find my money so he yelled at me and paid for the bill. What a sweet guy. We then whisked out of the restaurant and out of the city.
We then headed to Santa Cruz which is an interesting city. We walked around the main street and looked at the small shops. There are a lot of bums and hippies in Santa Cruz. Man the streets were filled with BO. Anyhoo, after the walking around we had a burger at Jacks which were really good. The only thing missing was a fried egg. 
Adam showed me around UCSC which is a pretty cool campus. We drove around then drove along the coast and shot some pictures at the beach. I still need to do some post prod but I posted my favorite shot. After the beach we called it a day and headed to SF.
We got to SF where we stayed with Cody and Ellie. We headed off to Buena Vistas for Irish coffee then their neighborhood bar and we ended up at the CodJelly Bar. We got really hammered and stayed up and talked until like 4am. Well I stayed up until 4am, Adam and Cody stayed up much longer. Adam kept on throwing the stupid medicine ball at me over and over. Ahole.
I woke up early in the morning still drunk but needing to use the bathroom. Adam and I slept next to the bar which was pretty interesting since I’ve never slept next to a bar before. Anyhoo, I had to step over Adam but tripped a bit and almost sat on his face but luckily I have amazing balance but it would have been funny sit on his face. I fussed with the hallway door and I looked defeated thinking I couldn’t get to the bathroom til Adam said “Dude, there’s a bathroom the other way.” Anyhoo, we got up way later that afternoon had some burritos and headed home. It was a great trip overall. Thank to Ellie and Cody for housing us. Thanks to Solvang for the funny story. Much props to Adam for helping me out with my project and coming with me on this trip.
Can’t wait to do it again!

Friday – Napped all day then had dinner with Pic and Brandon at Fire Fly then met everyone up at Paris for drinking. Then it was over to New York New York for more drinking. Carrie and I got back to the room at around 4am, yet again.
Saturday – Slept all day then had lunch with Flaute, her hubby and her sister at the Grand Lux. Went back to the room and slept more. Woke up, had a crappy dinner at some place in the hotel then it was off to Pure at Ceasar’s Palace. Liz and her sister hooked everyone up for the club. THANKS LIZ! Drank more and danced. The dance floor was so crowded and hot I sweated the entire time on the dance floor. Carrie and I skipped out a bit early and hit up another bar in the casino. Got even more drunk then met up with Adam and headed on over to the Grand Lux cafe. Before we got to the club though I lost my cell phone. 
It was all good because it was found by a person named Carrie as well and was kind enough to call my Carrie to let us know she had the phone.
Sunday – Packed then met Carrie over at the Monte Carlo to pick up my phone. Headed to my parents house for dinner.
To sum it all up, Adam, Justin and I need a new liver. Also, DJ Q-bert is the l33tz0r.
