Update: SF and Coachella (part 1)

The last two weekends have been so much fun. First a jam packed weekend in SF (4/17 - 4/21), then an awesome long weekend with most of my best friends in Palm Springs (4/23-4/27). 

Here are some highlights of the weekend in SF:
- Got in Thurs night and surprised our friend Daniella at dinner. She has been our hairstylist/friend for almost 10 years. She decided a while back that she wanted to become a flight attendant. She has been working really hard at it for the last year and finally got the call from US Air that she had been hired and had to move to Phoenix. Andrew asked her if he could take her out to dinner before she left and I changed my flight and got in a day early to surprise her. It was so great to see her and catch up! Wishing her all the best in her new endeavor!
- Friday day went to lunch with my husband at one of our favorite places - Yank Sing. It was sooo good. Then went to meet up with Mateo, Mattress and Rex. Mattress was in town to surprise Mateo for his b-day. We went for a great hike in Muir Woods.
- Fri night I was able to meet the boys for dinner: Matt Duke, Gabe, Jim, Matthew, Andy, Pooh Bear (Rex) and my husband. Had a great meal at Home and then headed to the Castro for a few drinks. Ran into Mateo and Mattress...they were tore up. LOL. We weren't feeling the bar thing so we headed to Jim and Matthew's for a little Celebrity. THAT WAS SO MUCH FUN! Thank you Jim and Matthew for hosting us.
- Sat day was Joaquin's 4th b-day party. It was great to see Edith, Chris, Joaquin and our family (Nancy, Gerry, Kristy, Monte and the girls). It was weird to be in our old house not living there anymore. Otherwise, had a great time. Joaquin is getting so big. He is sooo cute. Here is a pic of him blowing out his birthday candles:

















- Sat night was Ellena's party (the original reason why we came up to SF before all the other events piled on - LOL). That was great. Mateo and Rex did a great job hosting the party. As most of you know the reason for the party was because Ellena might need to leave the country due to a major fuck up by her school. Long story short, it looks like Ellena is working a few angles and may not need to leave the country. Thank the baby Jesus! Sending you tons of positive vibes, Ellena!!!!







- Sunday day was Andrew's parents' housewarming party in Marin. It was great to see everyone and catch up with the extended Marin family. So happy for Nancy and Gerry...their house (which has been under construction almost all of 2007) is finally complete and beautifully decorated. It has such a warm and inviting vibe. It was a great party!
- Sunday night we met up with our friends Pascal and Steven. Hadn't seen them since last year. It was really nice to see them and catch up. It was also great to see that they are doing really well. Looking forward to having them visit us in LA.
- Mon had lunch with Mateo and then he took me to the airport to get back to LA. Thanks, Mateo.

Oh and while I was in SF, Andrew and I decided it would be a great idea to invite Mateo to Palm Springs with us since he isn't currently working. We got him a ticket for his b-day and he came down to LA on Wed. I picked him up at the airport and immediately drove down to Palm Springs together. 

More after the jump...
