the past 3 days have been great. flying up to the bay area was pretty cool. i flew on jetblue. cool because they have live directTV in every seat, but oddly i didn't really enjoy the tv that much. i couldn't get comfortable (the curses of being tall) and there was nothing really on (imagine that!). also flipping channels was awkward (i think my height again didn't help), so i put my headphones on and listened to some CDs. left the plane, straight to BART and off i was to see eddie izzard. the BART station dropped me off right at the theater so in i went. found jamie and ben and then the show started. PERFECT TIMING!
the show was good. the lights were really really good (odd for a comedy show, no?) but eddie was hilarious. and oh my god our seats were freaking great. we were in the 5th or 6th row i think. we were way close up. i was suprised at just how short he was. he was short-ish and wearing 3-4" heels! after the show we waited for him to come out of the theater so jamie and ben could get autographs. in retrospect i should have gotten one for andrea or richard, but i didn't think of it... it was fun people watching and just sitting outside the theater reminded me why i like the bay area so much. so finally we get the autographs and head out into the city. we grab ben's car and start driving around. we find this place called tommy's joynt (or someone's joynt - it is near Mel's). what attracted us was the neon sign proclaiming "Sandwiches and Cocktails". What more do I need? not much. this was around the time we figured out that ben doesn't know how to parallel park...in SF this is a BAD thing. so we drove until we found a spot he could just pull into and walked to the place. it was pretty good and it was lotsa fun chilling with the sandwich again :) a few beers later (i think fat tire may be my new favorite beer...) we headed down to santa clara to ben's aunts house (our temporary home for the next two days).
next day we drove down to monterey and went to the aquarium. i think the three of us got our fair share of small children to last us a few years. the ankle biters were everywhere. screaming, crying and ooohing and aaahing at the cool exhibits. there was some pretty cool stuff there. my personal favorite was the sea dragon. They look like this:
very cool.
drove back to santa clara. BBQed at the house and chilled in the pool. acted out a fun political science letcure while splashing around eventually resulting in ben falling in. then we all ended up inside swimming around. good times. dried off and tried to figure out stuff to do. we were all pretty exausted so we just chilled and played monopoly (when was the last time you played that game?!?). by good luck and average buisness i somehow won(!). it wasn't until the next morning that we discovered that there was a bar about a block and a half down the street from where we were...damn...not that monopoly wasn't fun...but you know...
flew back to OC. listened to my CDs again. the tvs kind of freak me out a bit. oooh and i didn't have to sit in the middle this time. i was seated in the very first seat in the aisle. it was hott. i was one of the first off the plane.
had a fun afternoon with dhruv and andy. stuffed myself beyond belief and still i didn't feel gross. that was great.
more on the bad religion show tommorow....
