My Trip out to Los Angeles May 2010

Last month in May I made a trip out to Los Angeles for a Thai concert.  Bird Thongchai had his very first concert in the United States and I wanted to be a part of it.  I've been a fan of his songs since I was young and this was my once in a lifetime opportunity to see him perform live in concert!

Of course food and friends were to be had.  Happy birthday to Woody!  We hit up Boulevard3, ate at Thai Patio, Langer's Deli, Kogi BBQ truck, Wurstkuche, and Yogurtland.

Chicago Code Camp 2 Pictures

I'm going to start posting pictures I take from various Tech Events I attend.  One, I'm doing it because I want to share visually, what the Tech community looks like.  And two, because I'm picking up photography as a hobby now.

The pictures below are from Chicago Code Camp, which took place May 1st, 2010 at the Stuart Building at IIT.  They were taken by me with my Google Nexus One.
