A big group of us went to dinner at Rusty Pelican in Newport which was a fun change of pace. I had one of those "Wow, we live at the beach!" moments. I know, I work 2 blocks from the ocean everyday but going for work vs. for pleasure makes it a whole new experience! We don't go down there nearly enough!
We had an 8:00 reservation for 22 people but they were extremely accomodating to us. The food was great (shrimp and scallop risotto - how good does that sound!) and the company was even better.
AND . . . the very fun part of the evening was that we sat right next to a VIP table where someone you may recognize was sitting:
Yup! Creed from the Office was sitting at the the next table over. After about an hour of us all gawking at him, Josh W. finally strolled over (after looking up his real name on his iPhone - it's Creed) and said what a fan he and our entire table were of the show. Creed was very gracious and stepped over to our table to say hello and let us snap a photo of him with the birthday girl.After dinner, we hit all of the local hotspots including the Costa Mesa Embassy Suites (that's right - don't miss the artwork):
and Patsy's where Josh G entertained us all with some Tenacious-D karaoke.
What a fun night - happy birthday Ryanne!

It was SO fun. Everyone really lived up to my birthday expectations...even Creed! Thanks for celebrating with me...Love you!
Wow. Creed! Color me green. :)
Awesome. Yes, Creed is Creed. I'm so impressed with you right now.
Wow! I love Creed- he's hilarious. This is another reason why I should move to California.... :D
I am sure Melissa told me about my dream (the ONE dream I can remember) in which we went to California and hung out with the Rosenbaums and Rainn Wilson (Dwight). My dreams are almost prophetic, excpet replace Dwight with Creed and leave me 2000 miles east of California. Dang.
And by "told me" I mean "told you."
