California Trip

I just got back from a 3 week trip to California. I stayed with Jason and worked from Apple's offices in Cupertino.

• I went out to lunch nearly every day with Jason and other members of the Soundtrack Pro team. We hit most of the major lunch spots near Apple, including Taqueria Latina, Yiassoo, Tanto, In 'N Out Burger, and even the fabled taco truck:

• We took a 4 day trip to Las Vegas. I already blogged about that. One thing that I forgot to mention is that when we got back from Vegas around 2 AM, Jason's girlfriend Chrissy prepared breakfast tacos for us. If that's not love, I don't know what is.
  
• Jason's coworker Iroro played an electronic music set at 111 Minna in San Francisco. We ate dinner at Henry's Hunan and then went to see the show.

• We went to a place called Sky High Sports, which was a warehouse that had been converted into a huge trampoline arena, including a dodgeball area and a foam pit. It was really fun (it's pretty hard to not have fun when you are literally bouncing off the walls).
  
• Jason found a place in Cupertino called Gamba Karaoke that offered Japanese-style karaoke. That is, private karaoke rooms where you can sing with a few of your friends. The only thing that was not authentic about this place was the lack of alcohol. But they did have Calpis, so I can't really complain.

• My last weekend in California, we went camping in Sonoma. Our campground was on the beach, about 200 feet away from the Pacific Ocean, and it was beautiful. We drove up on Friday night. On Saturday morning, we went for a hike along the beach. That afternoon, we drove to wine country and did some wine tasting. Saturday night we had a standard camping cookout, including smores. I posted a complete set of photos from the camping trip on Flickr.
