And tonight I made a trek to a Geek Mecca
Oct. 23rd, 2012 09:12 pmLast night I went out to dinner with colleagues. On the way, I drove by a Fry's Electronics. It was closed by the time I was headed back to my hotel. :-(
Today, my meetings were three blocks away from said Fry's. And I gave one of my colleagues a ride back to his hotel, which was the other side of said Fry's from my hotel. Best route back took me right by said Fry's.
I couldn't resist. I stopped and went in.
It was decorated for Halloween. Tiki + Halloween? I was a bit croggled.
I can see why it has the reputation it does. I even bought some stuff! It's probably a good thing I don't live within easy driving distance of one.
For the curious, it was the store in Manhattan Beach.
