San Diego is great. The Gas Light District is a must as is the Zoo. The beaches between SD and LA are all really nice as well. Newport Beach and Laguna Beach are both pretty cool to visit, but both can be a pain to get to with traffic...as can anywhere else in Southern California. Huntington...

I'm working on it.

I've been out here in Southern California for 2 years now and it never ceases to amaze me how many people of here have rediculous cars. It really is a cultural thing though...a lot of people out here are in BIG TIME credit debt between their BMW/Merc/Audi, etc. Add to the equation that it's...

Kat - Can you send me the pdf? I will post this to the photography forum that I frequent. (newschoolofphotography.com)

I miss my Red Sox announcers though. During the WS last year I had to deal with the FOX team. <GASP>

Last season I went back and forth between the MLB pitch-by-pitch and the version from ESPN. They can get frustrating though because they will tell you that "the incoming pitch has been hit into play" and then nothing for 5 minutes. I will say, living half a mile from Angels stadium does makes...

I don't think that it has anything to do with the Red Sox, I believe that all "streaming audio/video" content of MLB games is controlled by MLB and they want us to pay for it. WEEI out of Boston streamed the games from their website a few years ago but they don't offer it anymore...
