Yes, spellcheck, I know that pier follows the 'i before e' rule (which I hear is no longer being taught as an official rule in the UK), but Aaron and I joined a friend and her daughter on the Santa Monica pier last night for an open air concert and Aaron spotted that the stage signage had it spelled incorrectly. I cringed for whoever was responsible for that - I'm sure they've noticed it by now and feel like idiots. Rule #1 of marketing/advertising: SPELL CHECK! That aside, we had a really nice time. Having been born in the wrong decade we were not exactly the target audience. Aaron only recognized one song (it had been covered by someone else recently - maybe Nirvana?) and I didn't recognize a single one. But we enjoyed the atmosphere, the tunes, and watching the older woman to our right rocking out and singing along with all of the songs.

Dear Aaron,
it took me quite a long time to find you in the WWW. But finally i came through.
You might remember the guy, who was happy to stay at yours about 15 years ago with his group of german exchange students. I found the pictures of this best time ever and thought, it was worth a try to contact you. I hope you can read this and answer to me. konrad-frank@web.de
I´m looking forward to an answer.

I've heard these concerts are really good. Unfortunately, I think the ones in MB might be more kid friendly to roam around. Oh well. You guys are busy!
this post reminded me of a certain, really-unfortunate-and- awkward-but-hilarious spelling error miss julie made in a company wide email a few years back :)
More updates! More updates! :)
