Me & my brother Max
Friday night I drove down to Santa Cruz to hang out w/ my brother Max & his awesome gf Samara. They recently moved into a new place (renting), but it's 3x as big as their last place and it's incrediblel!! I kept saying, "It's like a real house!" haha. It sits on a street with a bunch of really beautiful houses & has a huge deck out back too that you can even see the ocean from on clear days! It's a one bedroom but there's an additional little sun room off the living room (which is huge) & the best part is the kitchen was remodeled recently and has all new stainless steel appliances. I'm so jealous - it's really gorgeous! Oh, and Max also has his
Om Gallery office downstairs too in this big room off the garage. *sigh* how I wish I had an extra office space! Seriously, it's so amazing to visit places that don't have every little square inch carefully negotiated like mine is! I'm really happy for them there.
They had their friends Ryan & Bon in town, so I went down too & we made it a party! Christopher & Courtney came over, too, and after a few pre-drinkies we went to dinner down the street at this yummy Italian restaurant. I don't have any photos of the night beyond that, but we had a blast trying to play Balderdash after many, many drinks. :p I always have such a good time with my brother and his friends are great. Good times!

The next morning Max made us a yummy breakfast before I headed back up to the city. He's such a good guy. I need to go visit them more often!

UPDATE: I posted a few videos, too!
