Back from E3, thank jeebus.
Well, I am back from the Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles, and not a moment too soon. I don't hate L.A. the way that people in the Bay Area traditionally do---that is, based on jealousy and ignorance---but simply in the way that one who grew up there has a right to hate it. All those horrid childhood memories. As a city, however, if you can get past the traffic (and the air, and the fact that the populace was all produced from a higher gene pool than the rest of us), there are just a ton of cool places, neighborhoods to explore. And unlike my adopted home of Berkeley, you can get great food all night long.
But I am glad to be back. The E3 convention is exhausting and annoying. It's also lots of fun at times, but I've been to seven of them now, and I'm also 42 freakin' years old, so, ya know, just give me my couch back.
On the plus side, I did get to take a photo with Spongebob Squarepants. Another life goal, achieved!
Sounded like you had much fun hanging around spongebob than you did with witness the new game trailers... are you going to give us a rundown of these new stuff?

(1) where's your hand, Green? I said WHERE'S YOUR DAMN HAND?!
(2) So, uh, which one is you and, uh, which one is Spongebob?

(1) i think spongebob was indeed enjoying that moment.
(2) oh my gawd! i just realized they do look the same!
Yeah the caption for this photo needs to be "I'm With Stupid" I think. Or maybe "Who's With Stupid?"
And even though you can't see my hand, I promise it's not up Spongebob's butt. Because, sadly, he has no butt.

Posted by: briggs at May 17, 2004 2:30 PMAha, I finally found Jeff's Blog and right off I'm not sure if I should be alarmed or delighted because... you went to E3 which is famous for a) semi-naked female models b) booths depicting the fantastic future of electronic gaming and c) semi-naked female models... and all you have to show for it is a picture of Spongebob?
My hunch is you took this pic for the kids and the rest of your roll of film would get you thrown in jail, elected governor of California, or (more probably) both.
