Saturday, I joined my brother and some of his friends from a couple of churches to go to the Hollywood Bowl for the John Williams concert. John Williams has really composed a lot of great music for the movies: Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Superman, ET, Harry Potter. I personally think that Star Wars is among his best. It was also fun to see that when any Star Wars songs were played (mainly during the encore), my brother along with a few hundred other Star Wars fans would turn on and wave their lightsabers.
Sunday, after church, my family all drove to the timeshare in Indio and celebrated my parents' anniversary and my brothers' birthday. We ate at Cafe Capitata in Spotlight 29, which was a reasonably priced prime rib buffet along with American, Asian, Italian, Mexican food and a pretty wide selection of desserts.
Monday, I drove to Tempe, Arizona to celebrate a friend's birthday. We had really good Ethiopian food (Wat with Injera) at Lalibela Ethiopian Cafe on University Dr. I'm inspired to try cooking some of those dishes at home. I also had a chance to see the ASU campus, particularly the music buildings.
Overall, I drove about 1,000 miles. It's about 2 hours to Indio and another 4 to Tempe.
