I was fortunate enough to be able to take a quick trip to LA last weekend. Sure my work trip got canceled but, that didn’t mean I shouldn’t go to LA, right? Premium Shih flew in from Boise and we got to hang in LA just like old times. In-N-Out, Father’s Office, Neptune’s Net, and Barney’s Beanery were just some of the fun places we got to visit.

I got my first Thai Massage. No, there was not a ‘Happy Ending’ but I did get to have a 100 pound Thai woman grind her feet into my back for roughly an hour. Surprisingly not bad.

We saw a biker gang take over the Pacific Coastal Highway in Malibu outside of Neptune’s Net. It was truly something to see nearly 100 Harley Davidson motorcycles, all driven by hardcore bikers, completely stop traffic on one of the most famous highways in the world.

We even got to see Vampire Weekend at the Hollywood Bowl which turned out to be quite an experience and not in a good way. Picture thousands of screaming teenage girls acting like they just saw The Beatles. Generally we see great shows here so we’ll let this one slide.

Los Angeles is one of those places that’s hard to like on the surface but, once you get to know it a little, it becomes just like an old friend. It always makes me happy to visit, even if it’s only for a few days.
