Take me to the ball game...

Michael Smith (for some reason I can't bring myself to not always say both parts of his name, maybe I know too many Michael's?) took me to dinner and the Padres on Friday night... sadly the Padres lost, but the view and the conversation super ceded the pain of such a loss!!!

Cafe Chloe for dinner.... where I had to mouth watering pleasure of eating some NZ lamb chops! sooooo gooood!
The view from Petco Park, San Diego.... 

Reena....

Formally introducing Reena to all of you in Oz and the rest of the universe who don't know her....
spontaneous . best friend . hilarious . always always always smiling (even when she is sad) . gifted . insight . wisdom . best traveling partner an independent girl could wish for . up for anything . just darn cool to be around . easy in the sense that nothing seems hard when you are with reena . also known as rookie (or veruka salt)

Memorial weekend rock out...

This weekend, I had the fun of hanging out with 'House Red' at this crazy parallel universe referred to as Spirit West Coast here in San Diego.... I hung out to watch our band rock out and Jurgen preach it up, but didn't get to see much else! Here are the guys!



In all seriousness, I am not sure it's possible to get a more rockin' married couple than Rach and Andy...

Pauly Churchward, rips it up on the guitar, what a sweet looking machine that is... makes me want to learn so I can have one!
Josiah, who pulls the weirdest faces known to man kind whilst bringing the mojo on the drums! Hilarious....

Mid-week madness...

Wednesday night, Bobby, Shannon, Kathy and I headed to a new spot called 'the corner' a nice burger a few drinks, great conversation and the usual shenanigans...

Shannon, got some new "decks" this week.... DJ Shanny??? Anyway it wasn't quite a disco, but no doubt one day soon we will have ourselves a disco!

beer and blackberry's... what life is all about

This week wasn't exactly slow, but I failed to photograph any of the incredibly exciting things, like the Jet ski injuries I incurred while pretending i was in the x-games with Sarah, or the gorgeous dinner i had the pleasure of attending with more than 50 of my favourite people on Monday night! i did however get in a few shots (albeit terrible ones!) on a casual night with Bobby and my now new friend James where beer and blackberries seemed to rule the evening! A nice night in coronado as summer begins here in San Diego... hope it's not too cold wherever you are in the world! 

Bobby, summer nights at 806 in Coronado.... 

Beer, blackberry... sometimes I think this is what rules my life!!!

Bobby and James, I know they look like lovers... but that's only how it looks! 

I have smart friends...

Today, I had the pleasure of taking photos of my friends Jessica and Brooks Klien to celebrate Jessica's graduation from Law School... Congratulations Jessica!

Unscene party... open bar

The reason I am sitting at home on a friday night blogging, is because I had waaaay too much fun on Thursday night! Last night we headed to Pearl Hotel (see dinner with friends) Point Loma, for a party that, to be honest I have no idea who or what it was really for... all I know is it was called Unscene and it turned out that the vodka and beer was free. At that point in time I quickly decided I would not be driving anywhere again that evening. 

A quick hello from me from one of the hotel rooms open for view (and a short line for the bathroom!) I'm always thinking of you all wherever you are in the world! Hellllooooo!

Rachel with her dirty martini... FRRREEEEEEE! 

Trusty Shannon, always making me look good! 

Me.... waiting in anticipation for the evenings surprise entertainment... 

Synchronized swimmers!!! What the?

The party ended at Pearl, which took Bobby, Kathy and I back to Coronado island for just a few more beers... it was just to early to go to bed.

Kathy... showing us how it's done on the streets of Coronado 

McP's where the locals go...
