Weekend Review – Los Angeles Birthday Action
I was in LA from Dec 6-10 doing some work, house-hunting, and celebrating my 25th birthday with some old and new friends.
My job in LA is going to be great. The territory is awesome, the job is fun (but difficult), and it will definitely not get boring.
House-hunting went well, and I found a place to live with a few guys in Redondo Beach, right by Hermosa Beach. It’s a 20 minute walk to the ocean, which isn’t too bad. I plan to bike down there and run on the strand. The house is very nice and the roommate I met was great.
Saturday I turned 25. It was a great day – I had a good workout, was treated to lunch by Claire, signed my lease, and then went out with Brownie and a bunch of new friends (Shawn, Heather, Lindsay, and whoever else I met).
After a nice dinner, we made it to West Hollywood to get started at Lindsay’s place. It was a great time, but once the tequila started flowing, I knew I was in trouble.
We made it to the Saddle Ranch and the drinks kept coming. We watched people work the mechanical bull (Lindsay owned it)… thankfully I didn’t because I definitely would have vomited everywhere. Dennis Rodman was also there, but my birthday was obviously far more important.
The last thing I remember was leaving the bar, but apparently we were up a lot later because I had to call Matt at 3:30am. From what I’ve heard, I got lost from the group when we were all going from Lindsay’s apartment to the cab. This is the only story I’ve heard, and I don’t even want to hear the rest. I was so humiliated… haha. Thanks for the great time everyone!
Sunday was pure misery. I hate drinking that much and don’t plan on doing it too often. Airplane hangovers are the worst.
Anyway, I’m looking forward to the move to LA, but for now it’s time to finish up some business in Austin!
