Leaving Los Angeles
Well I recently left my job to take a spot on a promotional tour that will take place for 3 weeks. You may wonder why I chose to leave a permananent job for a not so permanent one and that's because this 3 week stint pays almost a year's salary plus I get to travel to God knows how many places in those 21 days. It's an up and coming surf company and like my friends and I know from Orlando and San Diego, these guys know how to party. In fact, it's always been a wonder to me how then can do so relentlessly with no breaks in between. But regardless of the explaination, I still love being around them. So with my newly purchased laptop, I'll be writing from different locations and reporting on the scene.
Anyway, I did get some celebrating in before my bon voyage. On Friday night, I met up with friends at La Piazza and watched as it snowed in the Grove for about 2 minutes. As we gulped down the eggnog which was 3/4 Grand Marnier and 1/4 half and half, we skipped over to Madeo's in Beverly Hills. Surprisingly, I wasn't too thrilled about the food although everyone had talked this place up. Maybe I just ordered the wrong thing. Our party of 20 exchanged gifts, drank, ate dinner, drank so more. So then, Saturday night, I decided to try a sushi place I hadn't been before. Nobu. It was everything everyone said it was. I was highly satisfied with the food that night. Well, Happy Holidays everyone.
