We went to a free show at the Satellite. The Hundred Days and a bunch of other bands were playing, but I got more excited over the sticker I found backstage.

Radio Dept. at the Troubadour
I wasn’t planning on going to see Radio Dept. tonight as I saw them just a few months ago and was not so impressed with their performance. But a friend asked me last night if I wanted to go, so I thought why not?
They played at the Troubadour, and it seemed like this venue suits them better! I am glad I went, I had a lot of fun!
Bridlewood Winery
I went up to Santa Barbara and Santa Ynez valley over the weekend to celebrate a friends birthday, I brought my camera but forgot the memory card at home. Super Stinky! Took a couple of snapshots with my phone at the Bridlewood Winery though.
Prince 21 Night Stand
Prince are doing 21 concerts in LA, tickets for the shows at the Forum are dirt cheap, you can get them for $25! Totally worth it even if you are not a Prince fan! We went to the show last night.
The show was amazing! 3 hours of awesomeness with 3 encores, and Stevie Wonders!
I am now a converted Prince fan and I am gonna try to catch another one of his shows at the Forum this spring!
Catalina Island
I’ve heard many good things about Catalina Island and have been wanting to go for some time, I thought it was a good opportunity to go with my parents.
I also want to visit Queen Mary, but will have to do that next time.
Saying goodbye to Long Beach.
About half way over to the Island we came across some dolphins on the hunt for food. Hundreds of them! It was very awesome, I have never seen so many dolphins at once before!
We arrived at Avalon, Catalina Island after about 60 minutes and was welcomed by a pelican.
It turned out, Catalina Island is like different country, I loved it and can’t believe I have not been here before. It’s less than two hours away and it is very awesome!
We had about 6 hours on the island, but there’s a lot more to explore on the island! Next time I want to stay over night!
San Diego Day 2
We took a guided tour through the streets of San Diego on one of those old school busses.
Started off by driving thorough the Gaslamp Quarter, my favorite part of the town.
The view of downtown San Diego from the bridge over to Coronado Island.
One of many museums in Balboa Park.
Back to the Gaslamp District.
San Diego
We rolled into San Diego this afternoon for a short get-away.
My first time in San Diego and I fell in love with the city right away!
I thought I took a lot more photos, but it seems like I was busy just soaking up the atmosphere.
Natural History Museum Party
Time for another party at the Natural History Museum.
Cinespia was hosting this time, and it was not as well organized as when KCRW is hosting, but still fun!
I learned something new today as well!
The Getty Villa
I finally made it to the Getty Villa! I have never been a big fan of the Getty Center, not my kind of art, but the Getty Villa is a place you have to visit, especially if you have studied art and have lived in Los Angeles for 5 years.
We took the architect tour which was very interesting, they made this corner to make you feel like you were standing in an archeological dig with all the different layers in the ground.
They made the cement look like wood, super cool!
This looks like real construction, but it’s “just” a painting. Amazing!
Detailed decorations!
There’s a real mummy in the museum, super fascinating!
The garden pool.
After the Getty Villa, we headed over to Malibu Pier for lunch.
Beginning Spanish
I finished off my Spanish for Absolute Beginners two weeks ago and the first class in Beginning Spanish started today.
I like the windows in the classroom!
