alex is visiting

i met alex at the airport last night and brought him to my place to drop his stuff off. he seems a genuinely nice guy. you can never really tell by blogs and e-mail what someone is really like.

we went downtown for a bit and had coffee out on the patio. the weather is so nice. i think it's the start of patio season. alex doesn't know what patio season is. in la it's always patio season.
we met clip and trish and chatted about all kinds of stuff. mostly we chatted about the differences between new york and los angeles.
he seems to think there's more security here. more aerial drone surveillance. clip, trish and i agreed we hardly notice them. unless there are more than one or two in a specific location we're oblivious to them.
"and that's what they want!" clip shouted.
i rolled my eyes and alex partially agreed.

anyway, the next week should be pretty busy showing my guest around town and going out and doing things.
tomorrow i'll hook up his cid to a straight to satellite device and we can take separate buses to test it. i'm pretty excited about it.
