God bless Scion and Toyota the trip was spectacular vary well planned and oh yeah we kicked it up very hard form our hotel the Loews to the fabulous Delano,which was one of the swankiest places Ive ever been in my life from the pool side cabanas to the whit linen beds surrounding the pool.They also made sure we all had rooms facing the ocean with the rooms there was private pool and beach access for all.We also enjoyed the dinner at Prime 112 which was absolutely fab and that was the beginning of the trip I could go on for hours but Ill let some of the other trippers rave about our adventures.

 

Prime 112 was amazing. 2nd best steak of my LIFE (and I've had one or two), potatoes so good they HAD to be laced with crack or something, and creamed corn with black truffles (you hear me!). I've already had dreams about that meal.

In addition, I received some of the kindest words anybody has ever said about me professionally. Thanks Mark.

Great finally meeting you Jeff (I suppose the same goes for Dan ). We'll see you in May!

Now, somebody else gets to do Nemo.

Pics soon!

Nemo was awesome.......with special Guest Ferrell (The rapper). No...He did not attend the award celebration but pulled up (actually, his chauffer pulled him up) in a 325,000 Rolls Royce and had brunch with one of his girlfriends. I wish I had a pic to post......but I did not want to get my camera seized/broken by his bouncer.

And Alex......What is the best steak you have ever had?

 

I think darron got a pic of me sitting in front of him accidenttally. See if he'll post it up!

 

At the Howling Coyote Inn in Gould, CO Summer 2000. It was amazing and I literally remember every bite.

Unfortunately, the Inn was the last outpost in a ghost town 50 miles from nowhere in North Park. They went out of business in Winter 2003 if my information was correct.

Great stuff.

But that steak at Prime 112 was REALLY not far behind...

-Alex

 

I have to say that my 20oz. New York Steak was AWESOME

To everyone that wasn't there I did not finish it. But I was the only one in the group to see 20oz on the menu and think that it was the best option. :D But all I have to say is the Pudding desert was the best desert I've ever had.

 

Yeah you did have that look of ecstasy on your face with every bite. Anyone else missing the shorts and tees and the 80 degrees??? Oh forgot to mention thanx to the Michaels {Smith&James} for going out with a bang great trip guyz special thanx to Steve Haag and Kathleen-Kishi Phillips for spending some time with the little people also Mark Olsen for being as cool as he can be and Jason and Eddie welcome to the spot cant wait to see how far you guyz will let us go Whens the next trip folks let a bro know what he can do to get on the list. Im out

 

yeah the weather was nice my man, but it's not that bad here in ol' springfield. wait til this weekend when it starts raining and all. . .

 

Mojitos anyone? Something has been bugging me since we got back from Miami. Was it just me or did anyone else see the guy making grasshoppers out of palm tree leaves? I am fully aware that it may have been thought up by me due to the fact that the mojitos were not nice to me.

 

Where was this guy? I definitely missed him.Mojitos anyone?

 

didn't see him, but I am looking into the mojitos . . . get back with me and we'll get em made up!

 

Phil, I TOLD you not to smoke that!

Now, who said Mojito???

 

all right, I want to know what was put in my drinks all weekend. I apparently saw a guy making grasshoppers,
glass falling from the sky,
15 year old looking rappers being driven around in Rolls Royces,
$275 bottles of KettleOne,
jelly fish the size of footballs all over the beach,
$15 8oz margaritas at the pool,
$13.00 vodka and red bulls at the Clevlander,
xB's with lambo doors,
and wait, get this,
a tC with wheelie bars and racing slicks for the front tires.
I have since packed it up but I believe the Scion champion award actually spins.

So who wants to confess to spiking my drinks?

 

I actually asked the local barkeep tonight for a mojito and was stared at blankly . . .



Phil, Olson spiked the reb bull and vodka but I did the rest, lol.

 

hey JBO did you ever own a tacoma single cab with a v6??

 

No I actually had a single cab S-10 back in the day though.
