iPhone

I got the iPhone 3GS on June 17th...I took a cab from work at 7:30AM to the Apple Store on Michigan Ave. Even the cabbie knew why I was going there. We talked about the awesome nature of Apple and the iPhone. Gosh, I sound like I sell the stuff. Anyway, because I reserved the iPhone online, I was re-routed to a shorter line. Then I walked up the magical steps in my dirty scrubs and got my iPhone with no issues. 40 minutes is all it took.

I love it.
I downloaded Shazam immediately...b/c that app sold me to the iPhone. It had me at Hello.

Not very bright

I'm not very bright.
I thought I had to work tonight, but I don't.
You know how I found out?
I went to work and didn't see my name on the schedule.
And I took such a good nap and slammed a coffee just before 7PM.
I will be up tonight!

Morning Joe at Starbucks

I kinda wish I'd known that Morning Joe - Joe and Mika were at the Starbucks at North Ave and Wells St this morning. Kinda haven't been watching it since I've been working the night shift.

It was authentic audience...people studying, people old, and the guys you're not sure who are homeless but are always playing a heated game of chess.

I used to not like Mika, but she's grown on me. They rag on her because she's got a good sense of humor.

POP!!!




PlumpJack
This place screamed hip and classy at the same time. Pretty winery, delicious wine, and ferocious agave plant!



Crackle

Berringer
Got the bracelet for the cave tour, cheese, and tastings of their wines. The bracelet is the adult version of the all-you-can-drink-beer-&-well-drinks at the other bars (see Wrigleyville Chicago & 6th Street Austin Texas).




Cheese vendors outside

















Inside one of the caves...you can have special dinners or Illuminati meetings.





















This is a giant barrel holding Porto.






















The zydeco tie...made me think of Scott.





10AM with a glass in hand: Sterling Vineyards. Drinking and riding a tram up and down a hill totally mix!

S'Napa


Finished up some fine dining at Taylor's Automatic Refresher: Garlic Fries, Sweet Potato Fries, Calamari and a box of their finest - Bandit Wine!


Inside the Oxbow Market for a looksey. Kara's Cupcakes were the bomb. I had the Banana Caramel with cream cheese frosting.


This was the best part of downtown Napa. A smoking tribute to a local legend.
