Burritos, Burritophile, etc
Okay - so its no secret that I am a big fan of burritos. It is also no secret that Travis, Becky and I drove all the way down to Mountain View a while back just to get a burrito at Los charros taqueria based on a web review. It was fantastic... so fantastic that after climbing at Castle Rock this weekend I convinced everyone to hit it on the way back. We we so hungry >sob< and a fat carnitas rolled up next to beans, rice, guac, cheese and salsa - with a big ass horchata was a perfect way to unwind after the epic man vs. nature struggle we had all day long.
As we ate, no one talked. There were seven of us. Once in a while I caught a glance from someone with eyes that said "fuuuuck yeah man". I would grin - because I KNEW I was there. It was delicious.
We get back to work, and Jess decides to write his own review on burritophile praising the burrito:
Today, Jess runs down laughing - because the burritophile founder happened upon his review, and wrote this response:
Just another tale of Northern California burrito glory, I thought I would share.

Castle Rock, This weekend
Many thanks to Loren for hooking me up with a sweet ass deal on a crash pad (seen in this picture, in the bottom left). Some friends from work and I went bouldering this weekend down in Castle Rock State Park. Apparently it is a world renowned climbing spot - and it was crazy fun. We climbed all day with no major injuries. A few of us were bruised up pretty good though by the end. To cap it off we hit up "Taqueria Los Charros" in mountain view, which was pretty much the best damned carnitas I have ever tasted.
Brett - we need to get you climbing man!

Metric
So Metric is playing at my school this year for free. I think I might check it out. I don't really want to be jumbled in amongst a bunch of 18 year old sweaty-ass freshmen but whatever, its worth it for Metric - first decent band they've had at Brock since I've been there. If you haven't heard them they have some music videos on their site. I suggest a peak. -- FUN FACT - lead singer went to OCAD (Ontario College of Art and Design).
