Good weekend. Pretty damn busy.

Friday
- Oktoberfest @ work - Beer and brats.  I skipped, mostly.  Enjoyed the polka music while I worked on some Friday Afternoon releases.

- Black Angus - Met up with Humble to grab some food before heading over the check out the new nightlife thing going on Santa Clara.  Think we ended up at Black Angus by default.

- Tinker's Dam - The new furry nightlife event going on in Santa Clara.  Was cool for a first time event, seemed to pick up very well around 10PM.  Not a terrible bar, not a bad location.  Really hope that this gains some momentum.  Would be nice to have a monthly club thing going on in Santa Clara.

Saturday
- Aircooled VW meet/coffee near my house - Went to get coffee, ran into a bunch of people I know from the Thursday night B.L.T.N. meets chilling out in the parking lot of the OSH near my place so, of course, I had to stop by and say a hello or two.  Some cool stuff out there, including a Type-34.  Good way to spend a time while swilling coffee and eating a pumpkin muffin.

- FC2013 prop party - Up in Oakland FC's Marketing department decided that it was time to host a prop party.  And so it happened.  And rockets and robots were made.  Good progress!  Lots of fun!  Even got a little work in on one of my personal projects.  Good but long day of crafting.

- Steak, Booze and meteors up on The Mountain - Following the prop party I stopped past home to change clothes and cars before heading to Boulder Creek for a small house party and meteor watching. The meteor shower was cool even if kind of sporadic, chilling with friends was the better attractor here.  And candy glazed steak.

Sunday
- Chased @ Humblewolf up Highway 9 & Skyline - Waking up on Sunday morning, Humble hopped in his stock 71' Super Beetle, I in the E30 and we had a fair bit of fun running up Highway 9 and Skyline until we got caught up by slow moving traffic.

- Breakfast at Alices - At the end of the fun-run was Alice's and breakfast.  Eat light, then parted ways after oogling a few of the nicer pieces of equipment that had decided to show up that morning. (GT-40, a few other things.)

- Mini Retro Sci-Fi Movie Festival - Back home I showered, then queued up a couple of retro-sci fi movies to watch while reading mail and doing more con-stuff.  Watched The Angry Red Planet and

- Motorcycle Maintenance - Helped a friend do the needful on his motorcycle.  Oil change, coolant flush.  Was only minorly disastrous. On the upside of things, didn't have to swap out brake pads.  Do have to check and swap the spark-plugs but that's going to be a big pain in the ass, scheduled that for this coming Friday night.

- More Mini Retro Sci-Fi Movie Festival - After bike work, I watched LifeForce and The Man Who Fell to Earth.  I regret having watched LifeForce.
