Santa Barbara - 5/29

The Starbucking event went well all in all. The night came off as follows: As expected - Winter showed up about 30 minutes light for the dinner meeting with Bill and the administrators. The restaurant was good - Steph and I had staked out seats at the bar so we could observe things. As it turned out the seat was great because a Salsa/Opera sounding band got going and they were really good. Food was good at the place too.

After dinner we saw Winter run out of the restaurant to try and go to a few new Starbucks stores that had opened nearby before the speech. We rode with Bill to the speech location on UCSB and I put on the "starbuckingmovie.com" shirt Bill had given me. Bill should sell those things on his website...$15 including shipping. They generate a fair amount of interest and questions when you wear them.

Speech was good - Winter was a bit nervous and akward at first and they needed some technical help but it worked out. There were about ~15-20 kids there I think which is pretty good for a Friday night @ 9pm event.
