Drinks in Malibu and a god awful display of Yankee Pitching!

Hola!! Lets see when I last updated...4th ok soo last I left off it was Trivia night and not to brag but WE WON!! BOO-YAH! the curry mafia won $75 at the royal claytons which we used that night. Tracy and her Harry Potter knowledge dominated and really pushed us to the top where the last category of Sara Palin ensured our winning spot! It was my first win with the team. >This week at Chiat was pretty cool, Wednesday Media Arts Lab had a free show, Mayer Hawthorne, come and play for us on their patio, becaue inside is super secret Apple stuff that needs a fingerprint to enter. But they were great, bluesy jazz with a little pop, for a white boy from detroit he had some soul in his voice thats for sure, we got CDs and free food and beer so it was a great way to end a day at work thats for sure. Another reason I love Chiat! Jimmy Dean is in the midst of figuring a platform to market to tweens, so I had to go out and buy as many teen/tween targeting magazines as I could find then rip the ads out so we had some idea of where to start, "Convention". I love my bit of tween disney info but after 7 magazines of teen pop or yikes magazine, I knew enough crap about selena an taylor (now called tayelna), zac efron (though we are already friends so that was pointless =) ) and miley cyrus! i have also learned about all the new tween stars that i didnt know exsist...cooool. So we went through those ads and no one really targets that age range, at least not well...they are still into animation, big pop words, awful stuff. Ive helped out with boards and things for the activision which has been cool to see an insight of what the plans with that are.super secret!...speaking of which...at our intern meeting with account managment we got to see a spot the pepsi team did and it was awesome! we were sworn to not say we saw it and soo thats probably about all i can say about it on here haha. I am glad we have those meetings, because it really helps when you are trying to figure out where you would fit in an agency. I still have no idea...at all. >Thursday night was art walk in Downtown LA, where all the galleries and shops open up for the public to come in and browse buy, food trucks/vendors set up and handmade local artists try and sell their stuff. So much going on, Arun and Veronica said that art walk is the one night that downtown LA feels like NYC, and it really did, the streets are crowded with people and food and music buzzing around, it seemed like everyone was just in a great mood. There was a party bus that goes around town stoppingat different galleries, we decided since no one had ever done it to hop on and give it a whirl, good thing we did! From the outside its painted crazy colors with people yelling from inside "come hop on the party bus!! come onjoin the party!!" and then once youre inside man o man, you are greeted by the entertainment, Dick and Jane, the guitar playing couple in the back of the bus . The inside is a piece out of a 60s diner with checkered tiled floors and crazy cool colorful couches lined against the sides of the bus, the pictures wouldnt ever hint that its a bus. It was awesome! after that expereince Arun was hungry and we went to a Kabob place to keep him company while he ate then we headed home to call it a night. >Friday morning I worked out, watched Hannah Montana hour long episode again because it was on and I enjoyed it the first time (dont judge). Then it was drinks in Malibu with Arun John Veronica and some others that Arun was meeting. Arun and I got there around 6, the drive was breathtaking right over the ocean and beach, just gorgeous! We arrive at Beachcomber Cafe, that is litterally on a dock on the pacific. It was as if we were eating right over the water, they have these amazing truffles (homeade potoato chips with goat cheese melted over them) omg, if potato chips could taste any better! I was in heaven out there, watching and hearing the waves crash against the shore is so peacful. It really makes you want to live out there, at least work hard enough to be able to afford a place around that area. After drinks Veronica John Arun and myself hit up Chez Jay bar, which has many backstorys, for instance its been visited by many famous icons from Frank Sinatra to Kevin Spacey, also where allegedly Kennedy would meet Ms Monroe. theres some more info http://thejonstebbins.com/jays.html Headed home after that to get some sleep before the GAMEEEE! >Saturday, Yankee Game. Angels vs Yankees. Hit up a coffee shp for breakfast to take on the train because we didnt want to be rushed. We took the amtrak down to Anaheim, our seats were more then roomy, on the upstairs of the train. LOVED IT. The breakfast from the Cafe was delicious, I had a ham egg adn cheese sandwich on wheat toast, sounds pretty ordinary but that ham was so smokey and tender. So satisfying. We arrived about 40 min later right in the parking lot. How convenient! Walked over to the stadium found our seats, in the CLUB section, talk abut riding in style. We had a waitress for our section when and if we needed something. The seats were great, perfect view of the stadium, in the shade, right next to the announcers and press boxes. So everything was perfect minus the Yankees pitching, which undoubtedly failed, due to leaving Pettitte in for one to many innings and then having no middle releif and having to rely on such guys ass Robertson, Tomko (oh god), and Coke (Pepsi please). Though Arod and new comer Hinkse both had 2 hr each, Matsui with one, Damon blew striking out 3 times. All in all I would have loved to have a win, especially because they were onlly a game behind the Sox but eh the season is only half over. I got some great shots though, I'm happy! :) >After the game came home relaxed a bit before heading to Vinces brothers house in Redondo Beach. The interns gathered there to hang out, drink, and watch UFC, which was awful by the way. I couldnt bare to watch more than one round of some beast poning some smaller guy. A little to violent and inhumane for my taste. They played ring of fire, I watched because I cant drink beer like that but the highlight was Sara making the "in my butt" rule, where you have to say it after anything you say. There were some good lines. Headed home, freeways at night here still a little scary, though my classical music station was wonderful. >Sunday (today) got up late around 11, headed out for a late brunch at Chateau Marmont. Secluded, Famous, Expensive, Cute...but the food was delicious! I had an omelete with asparagus, tomatoe, and spinach and a sdie of fruit and toast. OMG! The presesntation was beautiful and tasted as good as it looked. I especially enjoyed accidentally over hearing the ladies convo next to me, speak of that she "doesnt understand why her divorce this tiem is taking longer than the others" and how the other one "is pregant" but keeping it super secretive and she will not be marrying the man shes with, it was done on purpose simply for herself,she will be 40 in Feb after the baby so she can drink at her party...or maybe shell have a trip to Italy and stay in a villa and invite all her friends in Europe because she "has a lot". Arent we all sooo lucky. Mani/pedi (mom would be proud) after lunch , trader joes, hoem to clean and maybe rooftop grill sesh beccause its still so nice out. Here are some pix...



Peace&Love
