I went to my friends Sasha and Lindsay's house this Sunday for their annual gift exchange.  As always, there was an enormous selection of things to eat and drink, and as always, there were vicious gift fights.  This year's exchange was "Borat" themed, so fake moustaches were handed out at the door, and one of the gift challenges was "Draw a Jew or Pamela".

I tried to get pictures of all the gifts, but some people were so excited that they couldn't keep still and made the photo all blurry.  Still, I think I got 90%.  Note that these are in semi-random order.  Sorry about that, its a problem I'm trying to work out...

The sun rose right behind this smoke stack this morning and made the steam comming out of it look like fire:

Beau and I took a walk to the Metreon for lunch today, partly to get something new to eat (I almost always get the same thing at Whole Foods every day) and partly to gawk at the line forming around the Playstation store.  Aparently tonight at midnight is when they throw open the doors and the line to be there stretched down the block, twists around, then jumps to the other side of the street!

In the front!

We found the front of the line and found out that these guys have been waiting since yesterday morning.  They were being interviewed on camera and taunted by a man wearing (for some reason) a Nintendo Wii controller costume.

There seemed to be a lot of support for these people though.  Aparently Starbucks was

Burrito man

bringing over coffee for everyone in the morning and while we were walking by, there were two taco trucks pumping out trays of burritos for people in line.  There didn't seem to be money passing hands (and they certainly didn't get out of line to order) so I'm wondering if Sony just bought food and coffee for the first X people in line.  I suppose spending $8 on someone who is about to pay you $600 isn't too bad a deal.

I pulled my nose up from my computer screen today around 5pm and was rewarded by this sunset trying to get my attention outside:

The Capsule Street Fair on Sunday was a success!  We had amazing weather and a great turnout.  The new ringer Ts were a big hit and as always, the Pixipet buttons were a favorite among the old and the young.  Thanks to everyone who showed up to visit us!

Here's a few shots of Lin & Lenny's wedding from this weekend.  Congradulations you two!  Note that the images are in reverse order (i.e. to see the bride on the alter you'll need to start on the last page of photos):
