so i know i rarely update this thing, but i feel this is a worthy occassion. the last week or so has been amazing.
it started on Sept 14 with 2nd row center VIP Cirque Du Soleil, Corteo tickets. Went with catie and phil. Phil hooked up the tickets bigtime. Awesome show - a lot better than i was expecting. Went to Saddleranch at Universal Citywalk afterwards and that was fun too. Mechanical bulls!
then on Sept 19 i went to the Sharks/Ducks game @ the Honda Center w/ dad and brinker. a lot of rookies playing b/c its preseason but saw some vets as well, Cheechoo, Thornton, Neidermeyer, Pronger, MacDonald, May, Bertuzzi, etc. All in all it was a pretty uneventful game w/ the only goal in the 3rd period. SHARKS WIN! oh and a fight within the first 5-10 minutes of the first period. that was cool.
Sept 21 was my birthday. the big 22. first birthday @ home in 4 years. went to Sushi On Fire with good company (erin, pamela, justin, storage, AJ, tim). none of us had been there and it gave us a bad first impression w/ not having our reservation ready, and stealing a table from us before we could order. But they quickly redeemed themselves by giving us free sake... a lot of it. We got 4 or 5 large carebs free throughout the night. Mama sake hooked us up! Also, throughout the night there were birthdays at almost every table. When its your birthday there they dim the lights and come out with a mound of icecream with a fat sparkler/fountain firework in it. so funny. it must've happened 4 times not including mine. oh and a sidenote, Tito Ortiz and Jenna Jameson were sitting at a nearby table too. woop woop! after sushi, we went out into the POURING rain and hit the bar scene where the drinks continued to flow. Beachfront and Sharkeez. realllly good time.
Sept 22 - woke up w/out a hangover. but did have laryngitis. sweet. in the evening I went to UFC76 @ the Honda Center with tim and saw a shitload of fights. Sad Chuck lost though. Highlights of the night, Tyson Griffin fight, Forrest Griffin fight, and being no more than 5 yards from Rampage Jackson outside the stadium after the fight.
so those were the 4 big days. it wouldve been even better if I didnt get sick on Sept 17-today. so i've been sick for a week now, its no good. but hey, my voice is coming back at least. things are looking brighter.
