us open of surfing

we spent our 4 year anniversary doing something we've never done - taking in a surfing competition.  we heard that the us open of surfing was happening down at huntington beach, and that it was free to the public, so we headed down and had a great day standing on the pier watching the competitors trying their best to impress the judges.

more for you seinfeld fans

this seemingly innocent picture from santa monica pier is actually a piece of tv history. several episodes of seinfeld featured either george or jerry contemplating life at this very location. and you thought the show was based in new york! i've included some proof below...




these screen shots were all taken from the episode entitled "the invitations". if you have time to kill today, you can watch the scene at 6:05 of this clip.

i love how this picture turned out. silhouette, sand, and sun. not pasadena, but not too far away.
