This past weekend was fantastic, and it started early! On Thursday, Nov 15th, John, Rob & I met up with Lyse at Koji’s for Shabu Shabu. We ran into Matt Molchaney & Paul Bellantoni there. It’s always great to see them!
On Friday, Nov 16th, John, Rob & I went to dinner with their Uncle & Aunt (who live in NW Los Angeles). We had dinner at Vitelli’s on Ventura. Great food! After dinner, we went over to Sardo’s for some Karaoke. Emma, Emmett, Greg, Irene, David, Missy & John met up with us. I sang Toad the Wet Sprocket’s “Whatever I Fear” on my own, but joined Rob in Skid Row’s “18 & Life” and Emma in Cheap Trick’s “Surrender.” It was sooooooo much fun! John, Rob, Emmett, Greg & I closed the bar… sadly, John & I didn’t get to do Moby & Gwen’s “Southside,” but we’ll do that next time.
On Saturday, we got up early, took Rob to the airport and met up with my dad and his boss for lunch. We ate at the Spitfire Grill at the Santa Monica airport. I felt like I went back in time. It was a great little place, and the neighborhood had a really nice feel! My dad’s boss is a great story teller and has lived an amazingly fascinating life.
After lunch, John & I stopped at home, changed, and headed out to Dave & Busters in Arcadia. Emma & Melanie were already there. We had some drinks at the bar, then put in for a dinner table. So many people joined us. Pix are up here: CLICK ME!
After dinner and drinks, we played some games in the midway. My favorite was the horse racing ski-ball game, followed by flaming finger! Together, John & I won over 1600 tickets. He got me a cute stuffed animal Lion with a gel belly. I love it! He got himself some shot-glasses and a bouncy ball for the cats. After D & B, we went back to Emmett, Greg & Matt’s for some drinks and chillin’. We had some great conversations, and I got to watch Emma & Greg have a drunken, hilarious Barry Bonds / Steroids discussion… good times!
On Sunday, Nov 18th, John, Emma & I went to Billy’s Deli for breakfast, then dropped Emma off and went to Six Flags for a few hours. We got to ride X, Tatsu, Dejavu and the Riddler’s Revenge. The weather was great! At night, I put up all the photos from the weekend and John hung out with Greg for his actual birthday. What a great weekend!!!
