Friday night I had dinner with the Salad Queens and Jen. We went to La Creperie and had the cheese plate, the Al Mare crepe, the Steak Frites salad, and the Chicken Picatta. Pretty good! I think some of us thought the chicken was a bit dry, but since I soaked my chicken slices in sauce, I couldn't tell. =P We also had a yummy dessert crepe with dinner.
After dinner, we went to our usual Side Door for some drinks. The bartender Brian made an awesome Espresso Martini. We had a drink there and then moved on to 12th and Highland to check it out. It's a great looking place and it was pretty happening. I'm not sure if there's actually dancing there or not. There's plenty of loud music and enough space for it, but it didn't seem like there was actually dancing. That didn't stop me and Vuong though. We danced here and there... just moving around the place gettin our groove on. There were quite a few people who looked like they wanted to dance, but were incapable. They only managed a bit of ant stomping and shuffling here and there. Oh well, what can you do?
On Saturday I played tennis in the morning, but wimped out after two hours. It was hot man! I went to Road Runner for some new running shoes in the hopes that new shoes might alleviate the back pain. They check your arch and video tape you running on the treadmill in order to determine which shoes are best for you. It was pretty cool. In the end, I came away with new Nike's - which by the way come with a slot for the Nike+ipod thing - all Nikes do now. Anyhow, when I got home, I checked out Zappos.com and they had the same shoes for 10% off. I emailed my buddy there and managed to get another 20% off so I saved $40! Woohoo. Thanks for all your work Road Runner (I still recommend them!), but I'm returning my new shoes. =P
On Sunday I went out to dinner with Kat, Paul and Lin for Paul and Lin's birthdays. We went up to Ruth's Chris in Beverly Hills and it was good stuff. I'm pretty sure I gained five pounds there. I even got extra butter on my filet. The only thing I didn't like was the wait. I made reservations for 7, we got there at 7:05 and they told us it'd be another 10-15 minutes, but we didn't get seated until a little after 7:30, and only after I had asked about our table. I'm pretty sure we would have waited another 15 minutes if I hadn't asked. If I had to choose, I'd have to say that I prefer the Irvine location.
This week I fly up to SF again for a meeting. I'm all over the miles. I think right now there is Elite Double miles. WOohoooO. I wonder how that works since I already get double miles. Does that mean I get quadruple? Laryna called me a miles whore and I have to say that I resemble that remark.
Looks like the Lakers are going to SWEEP Denver. Hooray!
