I like Santa Cruz. Lots of cool shops downtown. Usually I'm there to visit friends, including up at UCSC -- and/or go to Kiva. It's been over a month since I've been to the Boardwalk, and when I'm there I like to play the 80's video arcade games (pacman, galaga, q-bert, xaxxon, etc.). They're really cool, and they have a wide selection.
yeah
