Agreed. I've been to both in the past year and they're great places to visit. The gardens are great, too, you can just walk around and relax (they've got everything from a desert garden to japanese garden). If you're interested in history, they've got a great collection of manuscripts as well (these things are beautiful; the type of stuff that monks handwrote centuries ago, plus more modern items from, for example, the Civil War era of US history). They also have some art, but I wasn't as impressed with their art as I was with the Norton Simon's (which, BTW, has The Thinker sculpture outside).

Just to let you know, it'll probably be burning hot, so be prepared.

I was just in L.A. last week. It wasn't that bad. (Then again for the month of June I was in Phoenix so... =p)

for business? mind elaborating?


anyway, I don't find Cheesecake Factory fantasic, and I do find it very overpriced. Go there for cheesecake and cheesecake only. For a good resturant, go down Arroyo Pkway and dine at Houston or the Chophouse. One good thing in pasadena old town is that parking is free for 1st 90minutes.

L.A. isn't that bad because it's not as humid as other places.

I'm currently doing business for an Engineering firm on Fair Oaks Ave. Enjoyed a nice steak at JJ's this evening. Walked around City Walk the previous evening. Quite fun actually.

Exactly how does this motivate us to go to that TGIF?
