Short walk with Lily
Checkins
Geographic locations visited
I came here for a few other odds and ends, but one day cultural anthropologists may appreciate my sojourn into the toy aisle for some brief research on Barbie dolls that are sold with pets.
Japanese tutoring in one of the quiet study rooms.
Busy night with a handful of serving goofs. The food was good as usual, but a handful of missteps by chefs/staff made the evening not quite as nice as it could have been.
Quite surprised to run into a Little Free Library hiding here! The day can’t be a total loss now…
Stopped for a minute to add this location to the Swarm/Foursquare catalog.
Hugus Alley sign which reads: “Named for John W. Hugus (1836-1901), a wealthy and prominent rancher, businessman, and philanthropist who shared ownership in the Hugus and Bonham block (45 West Colorado Boulevard) with Perry Bonham. This historical marker was donated by: One Colorado”
Attending the Friday Coffee Meetup
Yipeng Zhao, a Managing Partner at Embark Ventures, a Los-Angeles based venture capital firm focused on early-stage companies, gives a talk entitled “Embark Ventures: Raising Seed Capital and Building MVP for Scientific Founders” at the Innovate Pasadena Friday Morning Coffee Meetup.
A VC talk focused on the science space. I wish there was more detail specific to the company’s particular niche, but it’s a nice overview to the space in general.
Cinnamon roll and an apple fritter for breakfast.
Coke zero for $2.69 per 24 pack in anticipation of the Super Bowl. Got 5 and a smattering of other tidbits.
