no way... you worked right near the emerald plaza hotel then, yes? I worked there for about a year until they moved out to del mar. it was nice cuz i live downtown so I was able to walk to work everyday.

i delievered many of meals to emerald plaza, those elevetators in the open were fun. made weekly bank deliveries to the bank in the back.. loved the green lights at night too. one of the busboys told us when he delivered food to the owners suite he saw the guy installing the shower and that it was right up against the glass.. crazy. i lived near sdsu at the time working there.. then lemon grove.. then allied gardens.. then mission valley.. then oceanside. then solana beach. now im back in oceanside where ive been for the past several years. its getting nicer and all that. but solana beach was way cool. pretensious.. like they gave you shit for smoking cigs on the beach and shit like that but beautiful. rent was too high though. i always noticed a lot of airline pilots stayed at emerald plaza, they were always coming and going.

hahaha that's great. the pirate didn't like the ole plaza that much. i mentioned it looked like a pencil holder and i guess that was enough to turn him off, that and the green lights. lol But i like it! I had the pleasure of meeting mr. shapery who designed it and got to check out his pimp ass penthouse. got some incredible photos from up there. what a view.
i live in the gaslamp now. believe it or not i've been here for 4 years and just went to OB for the first time while pirate was in town. haha shame on me. i'm hooked though i'll be going back there a lot. when my lease is up next year i'll probably move to the beach that's the only other place i'd be willing to live really and i'm about through with downtown.
lol i have some friends that live in solana beach. agreed not the same scene as OB but beautiful. although i'd have to pick OB over solana as far as where i'd live, just cuz it's so chill. Are you still in cali at least? I moved from the east and seriously don't see myself leaving this state unless it's to move out of this country.
