Friday
Tony and Kate came to town to do some wedding planning. After work I hung out at Newcastle for the first time in a long time, then we all went to Celia's for dinner.

Saturday
First Aki and I went to Millbrae to help Julie change the battery in her car. Actually, Aki helped her and I took lots of pictures.

After that we headed to Stanford so Aki could give someone his Clie that he sold on meepster. We fliered the bookstore and post office while we were there.

In the afternoon we all went to Mark Brighton's BBQ in the mission. Lots of good food and drinks.

Nikhil invited us to Marissa Mayer's 30th birthday at the Westin St Francis. Marissa is a product manager at Google, and Nikhil's manager. The party was fabulous. There was an 80s cover band (Tainted Love), dancing, open bar, and great food. It was a lot of fun. It makes me want to work at Google. :)

Sunday
We went hiking in Redwood National Park in Berkeley, but didn't see any redwoods on the hike. Then we went to dinner at a great Mexican restaurant in Walnut Creek.

Monday
Paul had a BBQ at his place. He had great beef kabobs and chicken that he marinated himself
