The 30 year Paine storm hits Orange County & 31. Spend an extended period of time with friends from UCLA


Every 30 years, a Paine event rocks Promontory Point in Newport Beach. This past weekend, it hosted Eric Paine's 30th birthday toga party. 30 years and 9 months ago (ya... I did the math too) Bill Paine held the same party. At his party, his buddy "Rabbit" climbed up on the rafters of the room which is neither safe nor smart... We definitely proved that progress over the last 30 years has been minimal (see picture above). We had traditional togas, camouflage togas, somehow we even had Mexican themed togas (a poncho is basically a toga right?). A pretty great byproduct of Eric's party was that I was able to see a group of friends from UCLA for an extended period of time. It was SOOO great to spend time with everyone. It was especially nice to have Pat and Molly (soon to be the Hendry's) stay at our place. A lot of us were able to spend our days at the beach house that Eric rented on the top of 1000 steps in Laguna. This house was SPECTACULAR. We had to take a "miner's cart" from PCH to the house and a private patio on the sand of one of my favorite beaches in the world. Add the delicious food cooked by Eric's mom Cheryl and great friends and it made for a pretty epic weekend!!! Congrats to Eric and thanks to everyone who put it together.
