Our fabulous friends treated us to a night at the Hollywood Bowl. What could be better?

Checking out the U.S. Open of Surfing

This mega-surf competition is held at the Huntington Beach pier. Brett Simpson won for the men; Carissa Moore won for the women. The Peanut took top honors for “best use of a binky.”

The “grab a prize” game takes a sadistic (and tasty) turn

This is that game where you manipulate a claw into a tub of stuff animals to hopefully snag a prize. Except that this claw goes into a tank of live lobsters.

It’s $2 a try and available at The Fish Bucket in Dana Point. If you catch the lobster they cook it for you.

Or 15, depending on how you do the math. Happy Anniversary!

The Great Artiste Kristin kindly invited us to Nickelodeon’s open house. Gotta love a company picnic where they give everyone squirt guns — and people actually use them. (I wonder if they still have that theme song?)

The theme was Coney Island — hence the funnel cakes, cotton candy, guy walking on glass and pounding nails into his nose (really), and, of course, test-your-strength machine.

Ready for her close-up
