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.

hanging out with a few friends...

since moving to southern california i've made a few high profile friends. on saturday i hung out with a few of them. very nice people, all of them. i'm just sad that none of them offered to buy me my new bike, and thus donations are still being accepted (see right side of the blog).

full details about my visit with the cast of tv's funniest sitcom can be found right here.

don't we have a deal with the pigeons?

of course we have a deal. they get out of the way of our cars, we look the other way on the statue defecation.

seinfeld fans will recognize this conversation from the merv griffin show episode - a classic conversation between george and jerry, and the perfect compliment for today's image. okay, one more quote from the same episode. george first, then jerry...


i don't get these birds. they're breaking the deal. it's like the pigeons decided to ignore me.

so they're like everyone else.

just plug it in and the commando 8 does the rest*

it struck me as odd that a big office building like this wouldn't have central air conditioning, rather each employee has to install their own window unit.

*a reference to a seinfeld episode in which kramer buys jerry a window air conditioner
