This weekend was fun and relaxing. Another couple of perfect 90 degree San Diego days. Saturday night a group of us went downtown to a new bowling alley for a friend’s birthday. I hadn’t been bowling in many years so it was fun to hit the lanes again. It was a little more expensive then the last time I bowled… $60 bucks per hour per lane!  So the lanes, with shoes, beer and food ended up costing us a total of just about $400. Definitely not a family leisure-time activity anymore. But on a good note, surprisingly, I won both rounds on our lane. I still got it! haha

This weekend also marked the opening of the latest nightclub in Hillcrest called Universal. I actually ended up stopping in all three nights for a different event each night. Friday was a little private opening party. Saturday was the grand opening and then Sunday night was the industry party and we had a couple of booths with bottle service. The club is nice and the design and construction are well done, but we are all a little skeptical on how popular it will actually be. It’s a mixed crowd, straight and gay, which is cool but we’ll see how long that lasts. Already last night I heard people saying, “some drunk chick just spilled her drink on me… let’s head out and go to Rich’s” lol A lot of gay guys have a short fuse when it comes to really drunk girls. I felt like the club might be a little too LA or Las Vegas. I think people live in San Diego for a reason and that type of uppity dressed up crowd is a tough sell. Boys like their jeans and flip flops. Visually, I think the club adds a lot to that area of University Avenue. We’ll see if they can actually fill the place. I’ve always said the 2 rules of a successful club are 1- good drinks and 2- a good crowd. People want to be where everyone else is. If nobody is going there to look pretty and get a strong drink, the crowd will migrate someplace else.

Anyway, here’s a few pics from my iPhone.

The last picture is just a shot of a sunset I caught last week driving home through Solana Beach, just a couple miles south of my office on Highway 101. Summer is here!

On Sunday, Andre and I  took a little day trip over to La Jolla to have lunch and check out the Museum of Contemporary Art (MCASD). It was a great day and really relaxing… one of those days where you ask yourself, why don’t I do this more often?

Bloody Mary at George's at the Cove It started with a couple drinks (a Bloody Mary for me of course) at George’s at the cove. They have such a great view and it was a perfect sunny day. From there we walked down to the museum. Andre wanted to check out one of the current exhibits called Matrix II. Matrix II is an entire room filled with little green LED lights, setup in a matrix evenly spaced across the room. It’s really incredible. I took a few pictures but they hardly give it justice. I didn’t stay in there very long, as it started to mess with my equilibrium… I get motion sick very easily lol  :)

From there we walked back and of course had to stop along the way for ice cream at Stone Cold. If you’ve never had Stone Cold, you are missing out. I had my favorite, vanilla ice cream with crushed Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.

Anyway, I posted a few pictures up to my Flickr account. All of these were taken with just my iPhone. I’m impressed with the quality that the phone takes. Not as nice as a full size digital camera, but it does fine when that’s all you have.
