During Matt last week in San Francisco we went to go celebrate and make sure that he gave his proper good-by. On Friday night we had dinner at Mezes a great restaurant on Chestnut St in the Marina that serves the best Lamb Shank ever its to die for but unfortunately they had sold out and Matt never got to taste it. Which in retrospect its better for me, or else he would want me to make it just as amazing, Matt culinary standard have definitely risen in the time he spend in San Fran.
The cool celebration was on Saturday we went to the geekiest event ever, the Robogames which are one of the worlds biggest geek convention. During the Robogames teams from all over the world complete to see which robot can kick ass the best. Mass and total destruction is the key, whom ever said that geeks are sissies is so wrong I have not seen so much adrenaline and testosterone since the last UFC flight I witnessed. Robots smashing into each other worst then rush hour in Los Angels, these guys had flame throwers and steal wheels with hooks all with the purpose to mutilate their opponent. Mad Max meets Conan.
This event was so worth it for so many reasons, but mainly because it was the perfect closure to Matt’s move to San Francisco 2 1/2 years earlier. The whole reason we moved here was because it was his dream as the Technology Mecca of the World, the whole essence of Silicon Valley the invention of the microchip and fiber optics was captured at the Robogames and the Ora of super geekiness that made it so cool.
OK this fortune cookie of the day posting (FCOD) deal is starting to be a drag and it must stop. The worst part is that I am being co-dependant on it and not writing real posts. So my apologies for the slack, not a way to build interesting content and a solid following…its fun when you go to the Golden Dragon and have cashew chicken, fried rice and sweat and sour soup with those nice crispy strips, but not interesting if that is all you are getting from me. So I will post FCOD every once in a while and start writing more post with substance.
Deal or no deal? Oh I hate that show.
A pleasant surprise is in store for you soon.

Today the drive-in theater turns 76 year old. On June 6, 1933 in Pennsauken, New Jersey the very first drive-in theater was opened up for business. I was about 9 years old the last time I went to a drive-in with my siblings. I though it was the coolest thing ever, I felt like such a grown-up, I was at a drive-in…woohoo. Up until recently I though that drive-in movie experience was die and replaced with movie house that even service you food at your seat while you enjoy the show. In Southern California due to the nice weather we had a lot of drive-in’s and I would drive-by them only to see Swat-Meet signs on the marquee instead of movie names so this for sure made me think that all drive-in where closed. All this changed during my recent trip to San Diego this past weekend. Yes…I went to the drive-in…and I loved it. I stayed with my brother and his family while I was there and on Friday night they all said, “lets go to the movies to see UP”. (Which by they was is super adorable and I cried in three different scenes). I said to myself, cool I’m in. But then I saw the kids getting into Pj’s, my sister-in-law packing beverages, and my bother ordering pizza….what the hell. I thought we where going to the movies. Oh yes, my brother said…we are going to the drive-in…the what…the drive-in he replayed. What the hell, I though those places where closed and only held Swat-Meet events on Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday. To my surprise those places are very much open and they are booming with business. Don’t know if the down turning economy or what the phenomena for the resurgence of the drive-in…but this place was packed with families going to see a double feature all for the $7 admission for adults and $1 per kid. Don’t think that the selection was B rated flicks you had three scenes to chose from and they where showing UP, Night at the Museum II, Terminator 4 and if you wanted to stay longer you could see Earth, X-Man and some other movie I don’t remember. Chemical company magnate Richard M. Hollingshead, Jr had a great idea back in 1933 and it seems that his invention will live on for a while longer. Happy Birthday to you drive-in. 
Don’t underestimate yourself. Your social skills are needed by others at this time.
