Randomly, Mike Noxon (friend from Bend) had two free tickets to the X-Games, so we got to go to the X-Games and watch from a suite in the Staples Center....those seats were probably $2,000! After the games, we headed over the Jon's house (a Moishe house for Jewish residents) and had Shabbat dinner with his friends. It was interesting to see his life and friends and spend an evening at the Moishe house.
As usual, I had one of the best weekends of the year with Lindsay, she always seems to have the effect on me. We had the chance to be girly-girls and go shopping together, which is rare and was so nice. Nate and Ben had the chance to test drive a Challenger, considering they plan to do it again in Eugene next weekend...I think they enjoyed it;) Oh, and Lindsay's apartment is AWESOME. We also went to an improv comedy show and one of the people from The Office was in it. Not a main character, he is the dorky guy from the new company they merged with. He as good at improv.
As we were heading out of town we had a short visit with Becky (my roommate from when I lived in CA). We had not seen one another since I moved out in June of 2007. It was great to see her, it surprised me how easy it was to hang out with her when we are SUCH different characters, although it was always that way when we lived together too.
Anyhoo..fantastic weekend in LA. We are back in Santa Clara now for a few more days with Irina and Serge and then head back up to Oregon.
