Coldplay Concert

I went to the Coldplay concert at the Shoreline amphitheater this Friday for a friends birthday. We had told her we were going to see Jack Johnson but last minute switched out the tickets and surprised her with the Coldplay concert. It really sucks they had both Jack Johnson and Coldplay playing on the same night, I would have liked to have gone and seen both.

The concert was a ton of fun, Coldplay was great and their visuals were amazing. I really enjoyed it. Unfortunately our lawn seating prevented us from actually seeing the stage. It seems like they could easily re-architect the slope of the lawn so everyone could see the stage. I guess that's what you get when you build an amphitheater on top of a landfill.

New Car

I'm finally down in Cupertino living in a temporary place till I can look around and find a place where I want to live permanently. I decided to not move my old 1991 Honda Civic since it would have cost far more to move it than the car was worth, and it was on its last leg with 180,000 miles. Instead I decided to get a new car when I got down here. So yesterday I got a car I have had my eye on for a couple years, the Audi TT.

It took me forever to decide what model to get. I finally ended up going with the 2005 180 hp Coupe in Dolomite Grey with Grey interior. I was originally thinking I would get the convertible version, but after closer inspection I decided I liked the coupe much better. The coupe's curves are much more slick and and interior is much more finished.

The cars design is so simple, and timeless, it's nearly perfect and I love it.
