       It's been a while since I posted.  I had a few very good meals in honor of my 32nd birthday.  (1-wife @Sona, 2-friends @Ocean Ave, 3-family @888).  The past two weeks in the ER have been just crazy.  Between closed primary doctors' offiices, the flu season, and sick old people in the winter, the volume of patients has just been ridiculous.  Christmas Eve was 240 patients!!!  New Years was almost a big disaster.  Jober, Mixy, Elaa, and I were planning to go to the Giant Village event downtown.  It promised to be awesome, featuring 6 city blocks closed down for the event, and acts such as Digweed, Crystal Method, Flaming Lips, and the Black Eyed Peas.  Unforunately the event got cancelled at the last minute!!!  No joke, 20,000 peoples' New year's eve plans were simultaneously squashed at 4:30 pm that day.  Apparently the promoter cancelled it b/c of possible rain.  The fire marshall said if anything happened such as people suddenly rioting in sudden rainfall, they hadn't prepared enough covered areas, so they would be responsible if anyone died, or any damage was done etc.   The stupid thing is that it stopped raining at 4pm, and didn't rain one more drop the entire night!!! 

  
  

       Fortunately we scrambled and at the last minute were able to get tickets for Together as One at the LA Sports arena.  This event was a  lot more rave-like in atmosphere (lots of weird costumes and people entranced by glow-sticks).  Paul Van Dyke was the headliner.  He was pretty good but at first we couldn't recognize him.  Mark Farina was also spinning for a long time outside.  Jober ended up going to Spundae instead.  It was still a good time.  Probably not as good as Giant would've been, but it was still fun nonetheless.  Happy New Years, CP subscribers/readers!!!
