Memorial Day Weekend

5-25-08

This weekend was pretty mellow. I didn't plan much, just wanted to go with a flow.
But, I always have something to do anyway...

On this Sunday, there was a DJ coming from Chicago (I believe...) who is supposed to be a big name for house music. His name was DJ Sneak. I invited Midori, Mayumi, and Akiko if they wanted to come and see his playing. There was someone else, but he wanted to stop talking to me under special circumstances so he didn't come, obviously... It was too bad to lose a friend like this, but what can I do... (sorry, no detail) Instead of Akiko and this guy, Mayumi's husband, and his brother came along.
Elevate Lounge was located very close from my work on Wilshire (+Flower). It is on 21st floor and they got a nice view to see whole downtown Los Angeles, and got a patio that we can have some drink and chill. It was cloudy in this morning, so we weren't sure we wanted to go, but we were glad we decided to go.

今週末はメモリアルデーウィークエンドでした。いつもは毎日のようにプランを立てて忙しくしているのですが、今回はなるべく立てないようにしてゆっくりしようかなーって思っていたんだけど、いつも何かあるんだなー。
日曜日はシカゴからDJ SneakというDJが来るということで、かなり彼の音楽が好きだった私はいつものガールズ、みどり、まゆみ、あっこを誘って行ってみようということに。結局あっこちゃんは来れなかったけど、代わりにまゆみんのだんなさんとだんなさんの弟くんが一緒に来ました。
このElevate Lounge,結構眺めがいいから天気のいい日にはここは最高です。風通しもいいからちょっと暑くても気持ちいいー。おいしくてさっぱりするヴォッカトニックを飲んで、DJ Sneakのかっこいい音楽聴いて（最初誰も踊ってなかったのが寂しかったー）仲良しガールズとおしゃべり。

With Midori, and Mayumi.








With Mayumi's husband and his brother, Matthew.
Matthew said he was in "Will & Grace" in the last season... Mmm, sorry I don't remember... I will check and look for you when I get a chance...
He looks like Christian Bale.

まゆみんのだんなさんとだんなさんの弟と。
だんなさんの弟、マットは「一応」俳優さん．．．。最近は俳優業はしてないみたいだけど。私の好きだった「Will & Grace」というコメディーにも出ていたみたいなんだけど．．．覚えてないです。ごめんね。
でも彼、クリスチャン・ベールに似てない？


The big guy with a headphone, that is the DJ Sneak. There weren't too many people in this club since it started so early like 3pm even though it was Sunday night... No wonder not too many people showed up... His music was good though.

壁の前でDJしてる太っちょさん、彼がDJ Sneak。そこら辺でタコス売ってそうなんですが、かっこいい音楽流してました。
