The Spazzes of Spazio

One hour until it's officially the day I embark on what will be either the best or worst idea I've ever had in my life. I'm not being negative or going into this with poor expectations; I know this will probably be one of the greatest experiences I've ever had and I'll be boring people with stories that start "When I went on my road-trip in '06" for years to come. However, the pragmatist in me knows that the lower my expectations are, the more they'll be exceeded. I guess that might be a somewhat pessimistic way of looking at things, but how many times have you built something up in your mind only to have it not live up to the hype? Expect nothing of people or situations and you'll rarely be disappointed. Put that on a fortune cookie.

Last night's send off dinner was great - a bunch of friends gathered at Spazio on Ventura in Sherman Oaks. Dinner was at 8, and we shut the place down drinking and hanging out until 1:30am. Pics:
