What did I do last night


  1. Saddleback after work.  Nick convinces me and Kris to goto downtown LA.  Says he'll pay for the room.
  2. free train ride to downtown LA (not including the drinks on the train), we hang out with a cool guy on the train, buy him a drink at the bar at the grand station along with Kris and Nick.  Jameson and coke.  free ride to Omni from their town car.
  3. get to the omni.  they have a fruit salad in their water coolers.  the water tastes really good.
  4. Nick gets manager special at the Omni, our room is on the 16th floor.
  5. goto bar on the third floor of the Omni. Nick gets into argument with bartender about how to make an old fashioned...bar tender smart ass replies that cherries are expensive.  I still think it's a really good old fashioned
  6. Nick storms out of bar with drink in hand.  Me and Kris follow.  We wonder if having drinks outside is okay.  Nerves rise as we near the street.  Pretty sure this is drinking in public.
  7. We run into semi-pro skateboarders, doing HUGE 360's, (3 sets of 3 stairs with huge gaps separating them.)  They are filming and have lights.  Kris asks the security guard about the skateboarders.  He is mad and says this is private property and that everyone needs to gtfo.
    Nick talked to them and got them to send him a video clip:

  8. We get to the standard.  Nick skips line and starts talking to the security guard.  Me and Kris realize he's trying to get us in and just start talking to eachother and acting like we're supposed to be there.
  9. Nick gets us into the rooftop at 'The Standard' party, skipping the cover charges and line.
  10. Sick party, we are 30 stories up surrounded by the massive banks that we compete with every day for financing.  At one point a big dude asks me if I threw something over the edge of the building or if im friends with someone who did.  I insist hes got the wrong person. 
  11. Kris and I hit on some girls.  He's got good opening game and has a little skill.
  12. We are escorted out of the building by security because appearently Kris thought it was cool to toss ice over the edge of the building, and it almost does serious damage when it lands 30 floors down on the street.  They reviewed the footage carefully, it was an hour after the act.
  13. We head back to Omni.  Blackout mode from there.
  14. Next morning Nick wants to drink more.  It's 7am.  Bars are all closed and room-service says no to alcohal.  We call for the towncar.
  15. There is a psycho-analyst convention in town, many psychologists are getting on the elevator.  Nick explains that he is a psycho and they can analyze him.
  16. Robert, the town car driver, recommends a sports bar for drinks.  The Real Madrid vs. Barcelona soccer game is about to start and there are over a hundred european fans there, all chanting and yelling and beating drums and going nuts whenever anything happens.  They are so insane the bar is split into two sides, one for each group of fans.
  17. Our side wins (real Madrid).  Crowd goes nuts.  Nick's trainee, Kevin, has a girlfriend that is wearing a real madrid shirt and is surprisingly hot.
  18. We try to ride to catch another free train ride, but it doesn't work out.  Fortunately you can buy tickets digitally from your phone.  Problem solved.
