The Parker Palm Springs Follow Up
Check out my girlfriend's blog http://lasangelenas.blogspot.com/ to see some pics of the funky decor and fabulous food at the Parker. Notice the sign (aka "art") in the lobby that blatantly says "DRUGS". Nice.

Welcome to The Parker Palm Springs
Hello and welcome to The Parker Palm Springs. Please take your mind altering drugs now. Ok, now please have a lemonade while you wait to check in and for your hallucinogenics to kick in. Designed by Jonathan Adler, the Parker has lots of cool modern-grandma-70s-acid trip decor to check out. This post is mainly about the Leisure activities one can enjoy there. Also, not featured here is our visit to the Spa oddly named The Palm Springs Yacht Club, a very nice facility.
This is the sign for the fine French cuisine restaurant on the property called, Mr. Parker's. It's a magical mystery tour, but I'm getting ahead of myself.
After we checked into our spacious and cool room, we hit the Lemonade stand. I got a Hefewizen and Lemonade concoction, very tasty, like a beer lemonade. LG had the muddled and spiked Lemonade. They love their Lemonade here.
Next to the Lemonade Stand is a French Bocce Ball court. The French version is called Petanque. We had lunch next to the court. I had a $15 Kobe Beef Hot Dog. What's the French word for "sucker"?
Choose your own Leisure: Giant Chess or out door Ping Pong in the sand.
Of course, one could just lounge by the pool with a good book. The Parker has two.
Also, on property is a Croquet Court. I skate board surf-style. I croquet golf-style. Deal with it, Europe!
Leisure, thy name is Parker.
All this leisure business is making me exhausted!
We finished off the evening at Mr. Parker's, a fun place with good food in the French tradition, but without the attitude. Although expensive, the resort is still within reach and less than 2 hours driving distance from Los Angeles. Take your lady. She'll love you for it.

Slum Blog
The Oscars(TM) are this Sunday and Slum Dog Millionaire is http://www.sportsbook.com/ favorite to win. Has anyone else seen this movie? It reminded me of City of God (another great flick). Also, check out this article on yahoo. Apparently, they used real life 1st time child actors from Mumbai.

I Love My Job!
We did a Keystone Light commercial recently and had like Fifty 12 packs, 30 packs and tall boys by the case left over for for the taking. Needless to say, I will be reliving my college days this weekend. Holler!

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Opera
Okay, well, it wasn't the Opera, but I was lucky enough to be invited to see the Chinese National Acrobat Troop perform at the Orange County Performing Arts Center. The show was amazing. The things these folks can do will blow your mind.
The craziest thing happened before the show. I got a drink from the Patina Group owned bar and the nice bar tender asked me if I wanted to pre-order a beverage to enjoy during intermission and I said [hell] yes! So in between acts, in the lobby, there it was waiting for me at a table with a name tag in front of it. 
An incredibly honest lot, these OC patrons of the arts are. Cheers!
