Winding down the College Football Season

We're down to the last two weeks of the college football season, however everything seems to still be up for grabs. We have the Iron Bowl beginning in just about an hour, Oregon vs Arizona and then rounding out the day with Boise St vs Nevada. All of these matchups could help determine who goes to the National Championship and then who comes to see us for the Rose Bowl.
We still have rooms available for anyone needing them over this timeframe and we understand that people will not make their reservations until they find out if their team is coming. We'll be ready for your reservations on next Sunday afternoon, December 5th. Also, go right to www.marriott.com/laxot and you can make your reservations there. Yes, the rate is a little higher, however once you get here, you don't have to worry about driving again. You're only 3 blocks from the Rose Parade and there is a shuttle that picks up from the parking lot across the street from the hotel to go to the Rose Bowl Stadium.
If you're a college football fan, the next two weeks will be super exciting and don't sell yourself short on this excitement. Do I want you to stay at my hotel, of course I do. But at the same time, if you're from Wisconsin or Stanford, this is a really big deal to come to the Rose Bowl and you deserve the best.
Good luck to all of the fans out there...especially Oregon and Boise State as that would be the GAME of the YEAR.

Forecast...Rain...What Could Be Better

Its set to rain this weekend in Pasadena and Southern, California. We don't handle this as well as some parts of the country due to all of the sunshine we get on a regular basis. When the sun goes away, it tends to take away our motivation to move around. But this is when we have to revert back to our Southern California roots.
And our roots tell us to kick back and relax.

And what better time to relax than when it rains. Normally, we can head up and do some hiking in the San Gabriels or come cycling along the foothills, but not when it rains. This is the time when relaxing with a good book, a good football game or even taking in the new Harry Potter flick. Old Town Pasadena has the great new Gold Class Cinema which is an experience in itself and shouldn't be missed. www.goldclasscinemas.com

And then there's the big UFC event on Saturday night that can be viewed at Barney's Beanery, Jake's Billiards or the 35er.

Don't miss the opportunity to relax and enjoy a rainy weekend. There's always more than enough to do as far as chores, obligations and outdoor activities, but not very many rainy weekends. Don't let this one pass you by.
