Photos from Ryan's 30th Birthday Party
Here are some shots from my 30th Birthday party in Hermosa Beach. Thanks to everyone who came out and especially Tyler for organizing it all. We started the night out at California Beach Sushi (aka Rockin' Sushi) where about 25 of us ate and drank in their window room and one table on the main floor. After tons of sushi, beer and sake we stepped across the street and took over a bar called Barnacles. Most of us had never been there before but we figured it would be easier to go there then somewhere packed on the pier. It worked out nicely and we all got to hang out, drink some more and play some pool.
