Hollywood Bowl and the Huntington Library

This weekend was damn busy. I hung out with friends on Friday. I had a lunch date Saturday afternoon, followed later by an evening at the Hollywood Bowl for the annual John Williams concert. Then Sunday was spent on another date at the Huntington Library which then branched out to watching the sun set in Laguna Beach then back to my house for a small dinner and movie. So yeah, post about my personal life, if you’re interested in gunpla, go ahead and skip this post, and wait for next weekend when post about the Labor Day build gathering. :D

Vegas for Dave’s Bachelor Party

This past weekend was spent with VERY little sleep, miles of walking, gambling, and copious amounts of alcohol. This was all in the name of Dave’s bachelor party. Angel, Nicky, and I also hit up the Shark Reef exhibit at the Mandalay Bay and Red Rock Canyon just 10 or so miles north of Las Vegas. It was a damn good trip. I slept for about 11 hours last night just to recover from the weekend.

Harry Connick Jr at the Hollywood Bowl

So after finishing my Gouf in the morning, the afternoon was spent doing a little prep work for the rest of the night. An evening at the Hollywood Bowl with Harry Connick Jr.. We got there around 6, parked in the stacked lot and walked up to the bowl. There was considerably more people here than the last concert. I believe Sergio pulled in about 10k people, and Harry’s Saturday concert pulled in over 17k. The even was sold out. Leaving the bowl will be an interesting experience. The music was good, I knew almost all the songs, although I’m used to hearing it from other singers, but Harry’s personality and little quips with the audience through out the evening just made the show. I have a few snippets and one full song that I captured at the show. Note to self, bring another memory card, one full song was almost 500mb.

Weekend update: Gouf Custom and Model Build Gathering

This was a fairly busy weekend. The August build gathering was originally scheduled for the 21st, but since I’ll be in Vegas along with a few other guys from the build gathering, I moved it. Unfortunately, the date change affected a good number of folks that they couldn’t make it. I received email/messages from about 10 folks. We had about 15 folks at the gathering, so we would have had a fairly large gathering if those 10 showed. A nice low key gathering is always relaxing, especially since I can focus on the damn Gouf. In the middle of the gathering, I also had to run off to attend a wedding reception that I had forgotten was on my schedule; but more on that later. First up the Gouf.
