It was around this time last year that I wandered aimlessly around the Staples Center for the Adobe MAX Bash, stuffing my face full of nachos and sliders while watching Paul Simon cover band Vampire Weekend, all the while searching high and low tracking down a pair of inflatable flamingo beer cozies for my kids.
