Shopping Madness

Michael and decided that we wanted to look nice for our presentation at WPPI in Vegas, so we went shopping. I haven't been THIS tired in such a long time! Funny story...So, I was sitting on this bench outside of Blue Beetle waiting for Michael while he was getting some pants hemmed - when this random guy came and sat RIGHT next to me on the bench. It was uncomfortably close, and I (being quick on my feet) thought that perhaps he was going to grab my bags and purse and take off. So I started to swoop down to secure my packages when I looked up and realized it was my friend Ricky Mia! I started laughing SO hard! He was like, "I saw you sitting there literally staring into space so I thought I'd surprise you."
That's one thing that I LOVE about Santa Barbara - you always run into people that you know. (which I guess wouldn't be a good thing if you had a lot of enemies - but fortunately we don't. Yet.) But we run into Ricky ALL the time, and it's always a pleasure. He is also one of our fellow photographers in town so definitely check out his website.
Anyway, this is a shot of the result of all our hard work in trying to not look like hobo's for our presentation! But it's kind of funny, because we definitely bought expensive pants with holes in them - so I guess we'll look like designer hobo's! :)
