Gwen Stefani Concert (6.19.07) at Shoreline Amphitheatre - Mountain View, CA

I headed to Shoreline Amphitheatre to see Gwen Stefani in Concert a few days back. The good thing is that I can walk from work directly to the amphitheatre without having to drive. The downside is that getting out of the area after the concert is crazy madness. I think I'll have a couple of tricks up my sleeve next time around.

Anywho, We got to the concert on time and found out that there is a 'no cap' or 'can' policy when entering the show. Apparently the rules get stricter depending on who's performing.

The concert was really fun. I know all of her solo stuff, so I was familiar with all of the tracks. She was really interactive with the audience and seemed to love to be in Nor Cal. At one point she went into the audience, grabbed a girl's purse, and proceeded to open up and take a look at what was inside. That was really funny. Oh... and Gwen has quite the potty mouth. It was funny cause some of the parents would cover their children's ears. We were sitting near the 'family section' on the lawn.

Here are a few pics:

First Pinkberry Clone In The Silicon Valley: Fraiche Yogurt

I've been waiting for this day for quite some time. Which day you ask? The day when somebody opens a Pinkberry-esque shop and brings it to the Silicon Valley. For some reason the 'tart' fro-yo craze has only migrated to So Cal and NYC. It seems as if the first clone in Nor Cal also opened up recently and is called Harmony Yogurt in San Carlos.

Anywho, Fraiche Yogurt is the name of the new shop in the Silicon Valley. Where is it located? On the Peninsula in Downtown Palo Alto.

It's been open a week or so and people have already been raving about it on Yelp! I haven't been yet, but I'm super excited to try it this weekend. I hear it's a bit pricey (even more so than Pinkberry) but it's organic and all of the yogurt is made in house (rather than from a powder - a la Pinkberry). I'll make sure to report back this weekend...
