Sooooo, March:
1) Geneva Auto Show
Took one final ski trip of the season, again to Geneva to see Tristan. I'm warming to Geneva as a city. It's still a bit small for my likings, but the food is killer and it can be good fun if you know what to do.
For example, the Geneva Auto Show! Not something I'd normally be drawn to, but with a free day to kill and a lot of press pressure, we said hey, why not?
Good choice. There was just a sea of cars from every possible car maker in the world.
Amazing. Some really neat concept cars too. Here's one from Nissan (pronounced Niss-on in England, not Nee-san like in the US). The top part is a pod that rotates around the base frame. In this picture it's rotated half-way. I guess the idea is you never have to go in reverse. Neat!
2) Les Houches
The next day we hopped on the bus and went 2 hours over to a mountain called Les Houches. It's part of the same area as Chamonix. This was quite an event for me. After a winter with not much snow, the week before DUMPED snow in this area. More than I've ever seen. But it was gorgeous!
It was REALLY cold though. And I'm sure messing around and falling into the powder so much didn't help out. We did take a bit of a detour, too. Hmm. Not sure my Mom would have approved, but it was fun! Here's Tristan looking good while we went down the sort-of-trail under the gondola. Yikes!
3) Against Me!
My favorite punk rock band! Yeah! And their name really has an ! in the name! Yeah! Amy took this picture from the balcony, but my friend Bryan and I are somewhere in that mess of people right in front of the stage. They have a song where the chorus just goes, "Condoleezza!" - guess what that's about? The Brits loved it!
Here's me and Bryan looking quite worn after the show. It was crazy!
I hope everyone has been well. Work and fun have kept me very busy lately. But I have some interesting stuff to tell, so stay tuned. Please!
Cheerio,
Dan
