First Day in LA

We arrived around lunch time here in LA and Cory headed straight to meetings. Our room wasn't ready so I ate some lunch and spent some time in the lobby. Once our room was ready I was able to relax upstairs before dinner.

In typical Konica Minolta fashion, they rented out Club Nokia downtown and had dinner catered and a fabulous show! Our hotel is in the middle of an area called LA Live...Cory commented that maybe it is the West Coast version of Times Square, who knows. We are in walking distance from several restaurants, the Convention Center, the Staples Center, the Fashion District, etc.

So on our walk to the club, we of course had to have our picture taken in front of the Staples Center (home of the LA Lakers for you non basketball fans!) We are skipping out on the formal banquet Tuesday night and going to a LAKERS game instead! We are so excited!!!

Once we got to the club, they had a great dinner ready for us! That is one great thing about these business trips, we always eat well! Somehow we were also granted VIP access and got to go upstairs in the club to the balcony with some really good, comfy seats! Just in time for the show! We got to watch The Blues Brothers! Not really clear who was performing this time. Lots of people said it was Jim Belushi and Dan Aykroyd but it didn't look like them both, so who knows. It was a great show though! We are pretty much the youngest of the crowd, so the "older" folks really got into it! There was lots of dancing by the guests so it was very entertaining!

We didn't stay too long, left around 8:45 or 9, but it was really 10:45 or 11 to my tired body! Cory has meetings today, so I am going to rest and relax, maybe walk around a bit...who knows! Tonight we head to the basketball game and tomorrow a day of sightseeing with Cory. Stay tuned!
