Went to Phantom Gourmet's Food Festival this past weekend and had a great time! There were 80+ local eateries represented and, although some portions were bite-sized, we sure filled up quick! We ended up stopping by the Bleacher Bar, inside Fenway, to try to let our appetites come back. We went for round two and found some tasty spots before heading out to take a cat nap on the common.
Feel free to check out the pictures!

After a long summer of work, I finally got a chance to go on a mini holiday to see a friend in California. I don't think we stopped doing stuff for the entire week (maybe with the exception of the ocassional slumber). Ideally, I'd love to go into great detail about our adventures, but for now I'm going to stick to providing a quick list for my (and your?) viewing pleasure:
- universal studios & city walk (carl strauss)
- frisbee golf
- santa monica
- vennice beach
- malibu (El Matador)
- VEGAS
- hiking
- in & out
- pool / bar in Burbank
- magic kingdom
- airplane watching
More details may be forthcoming.. and pictures are on the facebook.
