The roadtrip went really well. Left around 7:30am on Tuesday of last week and got in around 11pm tonight (following Wednesday). Drove (bro/I) approx' 4500km over the course of 8 days. Car ran smoothly throughout and it was nice getting long stretches of driving on the I-5 and plenty of cheaper gas-ups compared to Canada (we pay alot more up here which sucks - so it was nice getting better pricing throughout the trip). Made it from the westcoast of Canada to Redding, California on day 1, and then into Anaheim on the Wednesday evening. Hit up the ol' Motel 6 in Redding on the way down & home, and spent 4 nights at the Super 8 in Cali' ... leaving us more money for eating out and shit and buying stuff (brought got clothes/gears/new 4th Gen' Ipod Touch, etc). I bought some shirts and gadgets/electronic chargers. Went to Disneyland all day on Thursday. Plenty busy in Anaheim as they get 60,000 daily at Disneyland, there were 14,800 for the UFC 121 event Saturday night, a good 4000 - 5000 at the autograph signings, Q&A and Weigh-Ins Friday morning/afternoon, and there was a gamers/tech convention for the Blizz game or company for 4 or 5 days that also drew 40,000 people in the area. Hit up Sacramento on the way down ... CAIN VELASQUEZ is the muthafuckin' man and he had the region / arena / outside the stadium hoppin' and on the way home. It was really cool seeing all the hype going in and the quiet confidence/sportsmanship shown by him and his team at AKA ... they believed in their guy as did the crowd, and people went in HOPING FOR THE BIG WIN AND HE DELIVERED AND WAS FIRING ON ALL CYLINDERS!! Big traffic jams / people honkin' and cheering all in the area / etc. Cameras and cameraphones buzzin' in the building that night. The DIEGO SANCHEZ / PAULO THIAGO fight was excellent. Great heart from Diego and Paulo and well-deserving of Fight of the Night. What a battle! Passed through San Fran' a few nights back and visited my dad's aunt (82yo - has been battling Multiple Sclerosis the past 10 years or so) in Seattle and had some nice meals out with her. Took her for seafood by the waterfront Tuesday and a nice Mexican lunch yesterday afternoon. Things went pretty smoothly throughout ... enjoyed the weigh-ins on Friday as well. Good shit.
