Elaine, the Guitar Hero II Rock Star!
She is no Ben, but the more she drank, the better she got!

Not too many of you have probably seen a conference room like this before. You sit at a half-circle table, and across from you is a video wall that has the people you are video conferencing with sitting at their table.

The beautiful Kirigin Cellars cricket field in Gilroy was holding it’s first time ever Red Wine tournament this past weekend. My team, Valley Cricketers, entered the tournament and I was the wicket keeper. This is one of my teammates, Deep, playing text book cricket. He batted amazing well for the rainy conditions.

Today was the last day of our CIO Lars Rabble. Here are some pictures from the Farewell party.

Lars being social at the party.

Brie En Croute — The best dish out there. A little salty (from the brie) a little sweet (from the raspberries) and flaky from the crust.

Mango Salsa, a close second.

Of course there was a LOT of beer and wine.

So, what do you think of when you think of Lombard Street? The crooked street, tourists, lots of tourists!

One day a year (Easter Sunday) at 4pm the San Francisco Locals take the street back! Of course, to make it worth it, we decide to race down the curvy street on nothing other than big wheels! Yes, plastic wheels are the only ones allowed.

The checkered flag is waved, and they are off!

The race gets pretty intense at times… everyone is neck to neck!

Of course, people don’t come here to see a real race, they want crashes, big ones!

They also want costumes, well here is Mario! (I saw his brother somewhere too.)

The Easter Bunny (with a cigar of course).

Of course there are a couple people who go a little crazy and fly down the hill head first!

Well, it’s probably because I keep eating things like this.
