I just got back from one of my most favorite trips to date. Took a much needed vacation and went to San Fransisco for a few days. Got to meet tons of people, got to crash two Christmas parties, got to see the sites, got to eat some good food, and I even got to see the inside of PIXAR. That's right, sucka'z, I was there. I was there, and it was awesome. A much needed vacation, and a wonderful climax to my 2011 if you asked me. Now I can enjoy Christmas with the family and relax.
I imagine most will be curious what Pixar was like, so i'll give a quick rundown. The pixar I saw was very calm. Given who they are, you would expect to just see all kinds of silly things taking place when you step in. Animators pantomiming some crazy animation move they are working on, someone running by with artwork to be approved, someone else flying a toy helicopter, a celebrity walking towards their recording session, someone launching themselves out of a cannon... no it was very calm. HOWEVER, I was not allowed in many places, which is where I expect most of that "crazy" atmosphere takes place. Several areas were top secret and in most other places photos where not permitted, so I wouldn't dare push my luck. The campus is amazing. Beautiful Pixar related artwork everywhere, with even more easter egg type things hidden in the floor and walls. Like a museum at times, it was inspiring enough to just see the work they were showcasing throughout the halls. It is truly a place filled with "the best of the best". From the People, to facilities, to equipment, they have it all. And rightfully so. I felt incredibly lucky to get to walk in same building of so many people I've admired, yet never known personally. It was fantastic, and I had to buy a new jedi hoodie on the way out.
So the trip is over, it was an awesome getaway, and I feel like I walked 500 miles. (and I would walk 500 more, just to bee tha man who... sorry) It was a great time :) Now I must go get Christmas gifts for my family,on account I have yet to do that, and because I didn't buy them Nuthin in California! Ha :) -Later Friends

I bet is was even more amazing that what you are making it sound like. Pixar would be a great place to visit. I bet crashing the Christmas parties was a blast as well. Thank you for sharing your trip with us.
Getting away for a few days every then and now can mean either a lot of relaxation or some exciting adventures and it seems like this was an adventure.
