Skipped the Oscars to see The Illusionists at the Pantages with my Dad and Georgeanne. Very entertaining.

Excellent dinner at Night + Market.

It was National Marquette Day, so I joined some local alumni to watch the overmatched Warriors lose to the number one team in the nation, Villanova.

 #13: Try 10 new LA restaurants

Lula Cocina. Meh.

I didn’t care for the Revenant, but I think it will clean up on Sunday.

Clams and Chorizo at Hungry Cat in Hollywood.

El Nino ain’t so bad.

While the food wasn’t anything to write home about, the drinks were spot on.

So happy to see her play again. UCR played 3 mini games today against CSUN, Fullerton and UC Irvine. They went 1-1-1, but looked like the strongest team in the bunch. Brit scored the only goal of the day.

#47: See 10 New Movies in the Theater

I was by myself for this one. I think that is why I enjoyed it.

#15: Try 6 downtown coffee houses

Black Top Coffee in the Arts District with my sister, Rosie.

Last day at the lake house.

  
Vegas write off proof.

Enjoyed the Fleetwood Mac Fest at the tiny Fonda theater. Lots of great local legends and artists singing Fleetwood songs, including Mark Ronson, Courtney Love, Alison Mosshart, Perry & Etty Farrell, Joanna Newsom, Cold War Kids, KT Tunstall, Dhani Harrison, PHASES, Will Forte, Ruby Amanfu, Sarah Silverman, Karen Elson, Butch Walker, Doyle Bramhall II, Jess Wolfe & Holly Laessig (of Lucius), Jessie Baylin, The Pierces, Jamestown Revival, Danny Masterson, Bijou Phillips, Elvis Perkins, Emily Armstrong, Adam Busch, Jack Dishel, Mereki.

Forced myself to watch this. I met Jim my freshman year at Marquette and was an acquaintance. I always had classes with him and enjoyed our conversations. Selfishly, I’m glad he was never a close friend. The documentary did him justice.

#34: A better shoe closet.

This is how you make history interesting.

Two years ago Atlanta had an ice storm that shut down the city and we were certain that no one would come. It turned out to be our best market ever. This year it’s 58 and sunny and it’s a ghost town. This is no surprise however, in fact it’s been this way since that ice storm two years ago. Buyers just don’t go to trade shows anymore, and after this weekend, we won’t either. In Dallas, we have moved into a permanent showroom where reps will sell the line for a commission. We’re currently looking for a similar arrangement in Atlanta. In addition, we’ll sell the old fashion way. We’ll hit the phones and hit the road.  The future is uncertain, but it feels good to finally let go and make a proactive move.

Loved the meal at Forma to celebrate my little sister’s 22nd birthday.

3 weeks and counting of consistent exercise, but the results have been unnoticable. Nevertheless, today’s activities were comedic. Devin managed to get his jump on, but Sonia blames her short legs for not quite becoming one with the trampoline. I on the other hand, racked my back.
