So I arrived Saturday morning (11th) at Burbank airport and to no surprise, Gayan and Bo are late and I will bet
top dollar I know WHO is the late one. I don't want to mention any names *ahem*Gayan*ahem* but you know who
you are. ;)
After we all received a new hairdo by the wind, we headed to 3rd Street Promenade. Awesome place ... lots of bands
and performers along the entire way.
*Yawn* Rise and shine. It's noon! We were all exhausted from the day before. We headed to Malibu to check
out the cool cars and the beach.
Afterwards, we went to moonshadows for some drinks. That place is awesome. It's right by the ocean
and the deck had all these "beds" where if you're drunk, you could just pass out there. ;p
Drove to City of Industry (what a name!) to meet with Thao for lunch. That girl ... surprised us by telling us she
just gave birth to a baby girl 10 weeks before. Congratulations Thao!!
We headed back towards LA to go check out Santa Monica Pier
This is the view of the exhibit from the ferris wheel.
Alright, first stop: Venice beach where there is a muscle beach gym and guys are flexing their muscles all day long.

Yes, that snake is real.

We got tired of trying to fly the kite so we just chilled on the sand instead

Dinner was at Hotel Mondrian. Since we had to wait for a table at Asia de Cuba, we went to enjoy the Sky Bar.
Of course alcohol was involved.
