The Perks of Living in a City: Random bar hopping, conversation, and things of that nature

Even though I have lived in my new-ish apartment for a little over a month now, I can't seem to find the time, or the proper 'company' to accompany me out on discovery adventures, frequently known as "good and random local bar quest(s)'. Why would I always want company? You know, for the quintessential conversation and/or people watching, and mandatory subsequent laugther.

Tonight that problem was solved.

After securing not only the ambition, time and suto perfect company, I explored the eatery's and theaters at The Pike, slowly paced the way to a trendy neighborhood near Ocean - had coffee and beers and chatted like we couldn't stop the wave of convenient and entertaining conversation.

All on the same few blocks...placed so perfectly clandestine in a hobo corner of my downtown mecca and all its public wonders.

Three new places in one night and I feel closer and closer to my new home; as it drops the prefaced title of new and simply becomes, home.

Viva Las Vegas!

It's about that time again...

Yes - time to go crazy and have no shame in Vegas. Do believe: I plan to do just that.

Next week is my annual company trip to Sin City with a luxurious stay at the Four Seasons. But that's not all folks!

We will also have an open bar all weekend, prime seats for the Cris Angel Mindfreak show, lasar tag, a wonderful Four Season Spa facial, a 5-course meal with accentuating wines and last but not least, shopping.

Exhausted just thinking about it...stay tuned for details and pics!

In the meantime...a little taste of last year:
