Re the last photo, I knew you and the Moose Man were up to no good. Lucky you two made it home without getting locked up. No wonder you needed a trash can to steady yourself, your knees were probably knocking. Next time call me, I dig that kind of stuff!

Great catch on Chewie! Now I totally understand why you had that look on your face in Moose's post! (Now, now Mrs. Sopris... when you read this, know that I was thinking of the sandals.. I know you'd love a pair like them!)

Ha! What a catch in chewie! I'll bet the person under that thing was a little on the warm side! Great eye candy for you guys in that last shot!

for the life of me do not see how people wear these costumes, they have to be really hot. Was it just girls doing the driving at night..noticed it was a man driving in the day... the two of you must have had a great time together, maybe the next time you meet up the others who live in that area will be able to join you in SD

Chewie is too funny! My son's alter ego is Chewie, he can even sound like him! Great shots all!

we had the theory that in that area, with all the bars, there were more young women driving the pedicabs to pick up the guys coming out of bars who were too unsteady to walk and might be more likely to take a cab if a cute girl was peddling. Down at the convention center there were more guys. Moose, Chewie was from the next night.

I think your logic was right on with the cute girls {ps- they probably get GREAT tips} :oP Oh Chewie.......come give me a big kiss!! what a cutie!! and you know what i think bout the hotel already :oP

None of the girls looked like they dressed for pedaling. Nice low angle on the bike shot really brings out the rake of the handle bars. Chewie is a great capture but the way the bike guy is looking at you I have to wonder what you guys were dressed as. Great series, John!

So that is where Chewy is keeping himself! What a capture! The hotel lobby is a really great shot.... there is a lot to see in it. Wonderful post!

I didn't know that Chewbacca lived in San Diego. Hotel would look great in a sepia.

Chewie ...very funny. Who would not pick "shoot" for a ride ? Updated meaning for peddling one's ass around town...perfect.

Heh, love Chewie. There's something you don't see everyday! ;)
