What. Am I???

Crazy Improv Sauce.





















It started a bit crazy but when all the ingredients went in, it turned out OK. Which was better than I thought it would be after the 5 minute mark. It's like a mushroom wine reduction that has hot pepper flakes which was the crazy part but I stuck with my original plan which called for cream and tarragon and it turned out... well I said before: Ok!

Pizza!

Remember this place? Anyways, so Happy Mother's day and happy birthday Ba.

Kick Ball!

Kick Ball!
















Ed organized a game of kickball at Kimball Park.
















Lots of snacks and beverages on the side.
















We played two 7 inning games.
















The losers of each game were made to drink "stinky shots." On the menu was some sort of 90% proof banana liquor and some 99% moonshine.
















I lost both games =(
















Afterwards, we went to Zeitgeist, a bar with an big outdoor patio.
















With simple grillin' foods.
















And porto-potties!
















This place is very San Francisco.

I was planning to go to the KFOG Kaboom fireworks show but sort of missed it. The street lights bouncing off the fog made the sky look a lot brighter at Zeitgeist so I misjudged the start time. Oh well.

IGDA SF returns

IGDA SF returns at the Dolby Laboratories HQ. They have a really really nice building. Not as tiki but definitely nicer than the TFB offices. Actually I didn't get to see their work areas so we might still have them beat there but the entry and more public areas were all nice. The talk given was by Crystal Dynamics about how they are tackling organizational challenges in the "next-gen." They are using a shared technologies department to keep all their most talented engineers working together. Smart thing to do. The most challenging thing for the company still seemed to boil down to key people making the right decisions which is too bad.

So long Jerome!

Sending Jerome off with San Tung. He's back off to Germany tomorrow.
















Well sorry Sergio, I had to take my stabs at you. You and your overly ambitious appetite. And the fact that you didn't smile in any of my pictures!
















I think the total tally was 8 orders of chicken, 5 of dumplings, 2 of string beans amongst 12 people.
















And he was still wanting more.
















But everyone else was too stuffed.





















































Even in a direct shot, Jerome remains photographically elusive.

Day Off

After working Saturday on our Alpha Submission Deadline, we got Monday off. It was a much needed day of rest and gaming.
















Lunch





















And then after 10 hours of Grand Theft Auto 4 ;) a late night snack.

Karaoke Kar

Some Eating.
















Some Singing.
















Some real real singing. Our friend Jerome (behind the mic) is currently living in Germany but he's here visiting back home. He is also awesome and quite knowledgeable of Snake Eyes.
