Greetings from Indio, CA!

Sorry for being MIA for the last few weeks! I've been working lots... we all need to pay bills. Any-who, I've had some awesome adventures these last few weeks so I'll be sure to include some pictures onto this thing for everyone to gaze and see. I've had the chance to see some good shows as well from the likes of Manchester Orchestra and The Temper Trap. Great bands and seeing them live was awesome! I even got a chance to attend a taping to Jimmy Kimmel Live this last week which was pretty fun.

New restaurants! I went last month to the Father's Office in Santa Monica, CA. which is like a gastropub with lots of alcohol to choose from. Being a non-alcoholic drinker myself I pretty much went there to get the low down on the burger there. Rumor has it, they have one of the best burgers in Los Angeles, so ideally it would be a great place to visit and see what the fuss is all about.

The Father's Office burger! Viola! Well it was a very good burger, seemed a bit small when I first got it but it is definitely very filling. The burger is made fresh to order and I had mine cooked well done as I always like it (I am not trying to get any salmonella). Very greasy which obviously after being at a bar until like 2am it will taste amazing. Being in there sober and just enjoying the atmosphere I quickly got full and left with the notion that the burger was good, but definitely not great. It's a great place to drink, bad part is that it is very difficult to find a seat in this small lounge (one small room) area. Parking is also difficult as one must look through the streets to find a place. It definitely wasn't a cheap burger by any means either. Overall I give Father's Office a rating of: B-

Well as promised, here are some pictures of some of my other adventures from the past month or so.... Enjoy!
