After the post I made yesterday evening of my trip to Irvine, CA, we went out to get some dinner with the other attendees of the event. We claimed our spot in line for an all-you-can-eat self-cook Korean barbecue restaurant, then went across the street to a bubble tea restaurant.

I personally think single-serve drinks (like bubble tea, Starbucks-style coffee, etc.) are overpriced, so I didn’t get any of my own (although I did sample some of my friends’ drinks). Instead, I took this photograph of some earl grey macarons that were on display.

After a decently long wait (because there were so many of us), enough tables freed up for us to start eating KBBQ.

Because pretty much everyone attending the event was at the KBBQ restaurant and everyone attending has a big part in Internet culture (including social media), there were a lot of photos of cooking meat going up on Twitter. One of my friends sitting in front of me Tweeted “my entire Twitter feed is filled with KBBQ pictures,” so in response to that, I took the following photograph and sent it to him:

That all happened yesterday. After a long night of work, I slept pretty late.

Although, again, I cannot reveal anything about the actual reason for the event itself due to confidentiality agreements, I can share some more generic photos. For today’s dinner, I again ate food from Eats Kitchen & Bakery on the first floor of the hotel (except this time, I got takeout instead of eating in). I got another burger today, but a different one than yesterday, and apparently, I picked one that literally has potato chips inside the hamburger.

The event itself was only one day long (although most people are staying for three, to include two travel days), but I will most likely leave tonight, seeing as I am local to Irvine and don’t need to wait for a flight to depart tomorrow. Because tomorrow is Monday, I’d rather drive at around 4 AM to avoid traffic, rather than leaving at regular hotel check-out time tomorrow and making a 30-minute drive take an hour and a half.

I never got around to figuring out whether or not we actually got the benefits of that special hotel club for being on this floor (because normally you have to pay extra per room to get on this floor), but then again, I never actually really needed those extra amenities. At least I got to experience this nice view; I got one last photo of it during sunset today.
