Snapped this shot this afternoon flying back from SF to LA. The world never ceases to amaze.

SF for a minute…
Heading up to SF tomorrow morning at 6:30am for a morning pitch and then it’s right back to LA. I love San Francisco and I love the fog. It’s pretty much my home town. I wish I could stay long enough to see my folks, eat some tacos and freeze my ass off in August. This postcard is from the fabulous Legends of America site.

Bacara Resort in Santa Barbara
I spent the better part of Memorial Day Weekend at this beautiful Bacara Resort in Santa Barbara. I can’t recommend it enough — beautiful views, nice pools, good food, comfortable beds, golf carts to drive your ass around and at night there are more stars around than I’ve seen in years. Nice work Bacara.
Chicago
I spent a few days in Chicago last week as a few of us from Something Massive were out there for work. I hadn’t been to Chicago in about seven years and, to keep with my former experiences in Chicago, I was there in the middle of Winter. We left 78º weather in LA and arrived into a light snowstorm and a balmy 24º. It was nice being back in a city. Los Angeles, while a massive metropolis, just doesn’t feel like a city in a way that NYC or Chicago does. I think it’s actually one of the things I’ve started to really like about LA. Regardless, it was nice to be back on a subway and taking cabs, being smack in the middle of downtown. We stayed at the ridiculously amazing Elysian Hotel. It’s probably one of the nicest hotels I’ve ever stayed at (I don’t get out much) complete with excellent restaurants and a swanky bar. HIghly recommended. We had a great meal at a place called Publican which is famous (in my memory anyway) for putting fried eggs on top of french fries. All in all, a fun and productive few days. I got my taste of Winter I had been missing and was so happy to leave my old, ratty parka in a the Clothes for the Homeless bin in our clients’ lobby. No need for that sort of coverage out here in Los Angeles.
