We decided to head to Pasadena on Saturday, so we dropped Iggy at doggy daycare (he loves it there, he runs with the other pups and comes home and sleeps like a log) and drove out to Pasadena.<\/p>\n

We started with my goal for the trip – I wanted to see the Hiroshige print show<\/a> at the Norton Simon Museum<\/a>. It was fantastic, at least 100 prints on display! The Norton Simon bought the Frank Lloyd Wright collection after his death, so they have an extensive set of prints. I bought the small Taschen imprint on HIROSHIGE (TASCHEW)<\/a> and the poster for the show. I love the design and form of most Japanese prints, and this show didn’t disappoint.<\/p>\n

We then headed over to Distant Lands, a great travel bookstore; Aviva bought a couple books. On the way, we stopped at Redwhite + Bluezzz<\/a>, a great jazz club; we just wanted Diet Coke and we must have looked tired because they gave the sodas to us for free!<\/p>\n

We drove over to Vromans, a large non-chain bookstore – I needed a guest book for our Toastmasters club, and I got a copy of Twitterature: The World’s Greatest Books in Twenty Tweets or Less<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Then, we drove back, picked up Iggy, got Chinese carryout from a great place blocks from our house (Yang Chow), watched Kathryn Bigelow’s Near Dark<\/a>, which I liked better than the Hurt Locker, and then crashed.<\/p>\n
