highlights...again

so the past few weeks have been pretty full...wanted to give some highlights

- a bunch of my classmates and i caught harvey danger at largo - really liked it, but dude, 3 straight hours of music...5 different musicians played 20-30 minute sets before harvey danger actually came on. good stuff, but started to feel the overkill toward the end.

- went to an old, old friend's wedding - during the slide show, there was a picture of me and the bride in junior high...a leetle embarrassing. overall, the ceremony and reception were such a reflection of the couple's faith and joy...

- also went to bin and david's wedding - saw a lot of michigan people i haven't seen in 3-5 years...

- went to the manhattan beach open and saw some good beach volleyball...art and i both were a little hesitant about actually heading down there since we had stayed up late playing volleyball the night before and we were stinkin' tired, but we decided to go anyways. ended up being really happy we came - it was a perfect day for the beach, not too crowded since we went on friday, and we got up close and personal (er, not really, but kinda sorta) with some of the players. sounds cheesy, but i really like hanging out with my bro...

- went to the culver city jazz festival with small group... didn't really get to see the band, but we heard them...


- had a family day down at balboa island. had frozen bananas, took the ferry to the beach...

















- hung out with beektory (first time in a long time)...had a hard time figuring out what to do, until we went for dessert at beard papas and decided to go dessert-hopping. went from there to pinkberry (stole this pic from s.park's site - dave's taking the pic. stinkin' good stuff - highly recommend the granola + 2 fruit combo), then some of us wanted something warm, so we headed to elixir, but ended up at insomnia for coffee and creme brulee cheesecake. we were originally going to go 6 rounds for each person there, but had to head back 'cuz people had work the next day (dude, i was ready for pat-bingsoo, krispy kreme, and churros).

- christin song was born on the 21st! mel, you are truly amazing... and christin is beautiful!
