Sample Gates at IU - first time back in Indiana since August 2006. |
|
|
First meal back in B-town: Scotty's Brewhouse. Got the Blanchard special (mainly just to rub it in his face); Backyard BBQ burger with mac and cheese. |
|
THE CHAR! |
|
They even have cup with their own logo on them now!
Yooooooooolaaaaandaaaas!
|
|
Stopped by the new and redesigned IUSTV offices in Read. |
|
Real Wendy's next to College Mall. St. Louis doesn't have Wendy's anymore, and Japanese Wendy's sucks. |
|
Making pot stickers (gyoza) at home. Pretty much unlimited pot stickers - mmmm. |
|
LA to see everyone there
First night in LA, we got pizza at Pat's new apartment, post-Randy. I don't know what was better, the pizza or the box. And it was actually really good pizza (and cheap!) |
|
Some club or something at Huntington Beach. Better than Sharkey's at least. |
|
Steve getting down. |
|
This is pretty much the face I always imagine Kyle making. |
|
"The Slip and Recover," the latest dance brought to you by Anthony Leong. It was as awful as it looks and sounds. |
|
I don't remember if this was staged. I think it was. |
|
There was apparently some big party at the tables right before us, and they were having a going away (?) party for some dude named Rocky. I don't know who Rocky is, but his friends spent way too much on these stupid hats. We put them to good use, though. |
|
It will probably be another 5 years until I see Hilker again. |
|
So many emotions! Everyone is doing a different face. |
|
In retrospect, I probably am 40 years too young to take a photo like this. |
|
Check out this artistic shot! It only would be better if I were in it. |
|
Nothing says "classy LA meal" like el Pollo Loco. At least it's a bit higher class than the food Ari brought, which he bought from some van. |
|
Writer's Strike! Me and Kyle were going to check out the Paramount lot, but decided we didn't want to get mauled by angry protesting writers. |
|
Apparently Beard Papa cream puffs is in the US now. |
|
I think this is the first time I've been to the Walk of Fame. I took a few pictures with the stars, but only with weird ones. I have here Richard Dreyfuss. Also took pictures at Wayne Newton and David Hasslehoff. For some reason I couldn't find Donkeylips' star. |
