Football game last week

Here are a couple snaps of the good and bad that comes with game day.

Crazy large cork board

Was over at my bud Pecks place last night. He has this cork board in his studio for acoustics, but in my opinion the main benefit is aesthetics.

How many bottles of wine?

Santa Ynez

Here is a photo of Kirsten next to a sign for some wine tasting.

We went up with Kirsten's' dad Peter and his friend Brian for the day. We ended up hitting 9 tasting rooms, including a couple on tasting room row which is where this photo was taken.

The wine was great, we learned a thing or two about the region, and brought back a couple bottles for some evening in the future!

One interesting note, this area is where the fun film Sideways takes place. We visited the Foxen tasting shack where one of the memorable tasting adventures happen.

New Computer

Picked up this bad boy about two weeks ago. Dell XPS 630.

it's the first computer I have ever had that I didn't build myself. I just don't follow the latest specs as close as I used to.

What's strange is that I don't even know fully what functionality I have. I'm actually to the stage that, "Hey it works, great." I think this is probably a good thing for me though, it leaves time for more important things.

Anyway, it's fun and filled with all kinds of goodies.

Home season opener

USC vs Ohio State - what a way to open the season at home. The game of course turned out perfectly for USC by stomping the biggest of big ten blow hards.

Here is a snap from the TKE tent, my fraternity alumni. This year started off well, with a much needed upgrade in the quality of food. The actives brought some goodies as well, so everyone was happy.

The bad news was we did not get tickets to the game. Face was $75, and we had hoped to slow play until the 1st and by them for around $100. By the start of the 2nd, there were people all over the place walking around looking for tickets, and NO ONE selling. The game was the largest attended game in 15 years, so maybe we should have just sacked up, or maybe we saved $300 bucks.

TKE East

College football season is here, and I just happend to be near the USC campus yesterday, so I decided to check out the construction progress on TKE East.

I spent the better part of my college days in the old TKE East building, with plenty of good times and memories.

This new building is huge! I hear rumors of completion maybe this fall. I will keep you all posted, of course.

Married Man

Well a lot has happend in the past month. Plenty of fun pictures from our wedding and trip to Maui.

For now through, here's a shot of me enjoying paradise.
