The McGee's Stay Classy in San Diego

Celebrating Christmas in San Diego! We hit the Wildlife Park (and saw two new baby elephants!), the Midway (see Ryan and me in the brig and mom and dad on the flightdeck), the view by the Coronado Hotel and the Padre's new stadium. Mom, Jess and I challenged Dad and Ry to a mean game of Catch-phrase. Fun was had by all...

Sundance Staff Photo

An exciting preview of the awesome Sundance Staff Photo that will be in the 2008 Film Guide. This is the roof of our building...

Sunday with Sherisse!

Yay! Finally got to see Sherisse. After some technical difficulties (me getting seriously lost) met Sherisse and Paul at the Murakami exhibit downtown at Moca. Very cool and weird (check out the Kanye West video that he art directed). Then had Korean BBQ which was fantastic (see pic). Then watched Sherisse and Paul drive off in their rental PT Cruiser. :(

Merry Barcycle

Pics from the Barcycle in Manhattan Beach. Jen and Matt let me crash Jen's annual USC pub crawl on bikes. Loved Manhattan Beach, loved riding bikes from Manhattan to Hermosa and Redondo and to the bars. Seriously, though, seven bars on bikes in one afternoon is quite the accomplishment. And then a great (but somewhat aggressive) game of flip cup. And then joke dancing at a cheesey bar near the pier. All in all another successful Saturday!

Laura at Pinkberry and Upright Citizens Brigade!

Saturday we went down to Venice and had brunch at the Omelette Parlor, which incidentally is located two doors down from Finn McCools. I have now succesfully shown Laura two blocks in all of Los Angeles. We decided to scoot farther down Venice to Pinkberry. Finally. My fave! Then saw Juno (excellent!) and met Angi and Matt at La Poubelle in Hollywood. Then we saw Match Game at UCB which is always fun. The most famous person on the panel that night was...Samm Levine from Freaks and Geeks. Oh, well. A wonderful weekend, none-the-less! Sunday we hit the Grove for the final part of the tour. Lovely, weekend!

Laura's Visit Part 1

My friend Laura came to visit me all the way from Chicago last weekend. Weekend started out strong. I accidentally took Laura to eat at a "C" restaurant. For my non-LA friends, all restaurants in LA have an A, B or C rating in the windows. Even the nice restaurants (I know, I know, but LA does have some nice restaurants, Michellin be damned!). I'm pretty sure I started out Laura's visit at a restaurant that serves horse meat, or at least hooves. Oops. But things started looking up on Friday. We met Dave at Father's Office (best burgers in LA) and then met Halle and girls at Finn McCools in Santa Monica.
