[IMAGE GALLERY] [VIDEO LINK]With a slew of 40 year old birthday parties and a recent 20 year high school reunion I see a sports car in my future. College chum Keith celebrated the big turnover this weekend with a pawty in Oakland. I knew lots of their friends only through websites, so seeing some of […]
El Coyote Cafe on Beverly Boulevard has been serving Mexican food since 1931. On August 8, 1969, Jay Sebring made an 8 o’clock dinner reservation for Abigail Folger, Wojciech Frykowski, Sharon Tate, and himself. After waiting 15 minutes in the bar, the four were seated and unknowingly ate their last meals, leaving at around 9:45pm, […]
Oy, High School Reunion. What I thought was going to be an awkward few hours of staring at people that looked somewhat familiar, it turned into an allnight blabfest with just a few disappointing no-shows. I wasn’t really all that interested in going and even got to the hotel room and started watching Shawshank Redemption […]
Lion, a tiger, no bears. Oh my. My feet hurt. It’s probably been 30 years since I went to the Wild Animal Park on a yellow bus with my elementary school. I remember thinking the animals were so far away. I think it’s changed a lot because I also don’t remember walking that much. I’m […]
[VICTORIA GALLERY] [VIDEO LINK]Infamous ladies man and fellow Shrek survivor Felix got married this weekend in Victoria, British Columbia. That’s in Canada, eh. Alaska Airlines flight 283. The beginning of the nightmare. Alaska Airlines I hate you. I left work early after a late night of packing Thursday and a long day at work. Got […]
Last year friend Eric [LINK] called me up and asked if he could use a photo for a book he was writing. It’s about Maya and is part of the “Killer Tips” series of books. Of course I said yes and had forgotten about it but here it is about a year later. Here’s the […]
I picked up my little painting today after an aborted attempt with Jill and George yesterday. Two weeks ago I bought another Jett Jackson painting at the Santa Fe Open Studios, but she was going to be at the Beverly Hills Affaire in the Garden and I had her hold on to it. I ate […]
The players: Chris, Jill, George and Kevin. We were cruising up Fairfax towards Santa Monica Blvd. when I mentioned I liked the BMW Z8s. There was a grey one directly in front of us which I was refering to. I said it was nice but it was not worth the $170k price tag. Which immediately […]
[VIDEO LINK] Friday night at Hollywood Park was Sony day at the races and I finally got to prove good ol’ Monica wrong. See the previous horse racing post [LINK]. I bet “$5 to win” and actually won for once. A group of us were invited down to watch the the #5 “Sony” race from […]
[BANG! BANG! BANG! VIDEO LINK] Not a lot of people realize one of the best kept secrets in the world is Mother’s Day at Magic Mountain. The place is a ghost town. Most of the time you can walk right onto the ride and it’s all very laid back. No mothers want to go to […]
The Santa Fe Art Colony [LINK] had its annual open studios this weekend. I completely forgot to shoot a photo of the Jett Jackson painting I bought, but I’ll pick it up in two weeks. Jett wanted to keep it so she can get a serigraph edition done for it. Cool, I’ll have the original. […]
[ELIZABETH SHUE”S BUTT VIDEO LINK] So, like Anne Marie and I (who I haven’t seen in over 3 years since we shot this photo at the Metreon in San Francisco [LINK] ) went to the Apple Store today amongst other things, and like oh my God Punky Brewster [LINK] was there! Then later that night […]
Jill and I headed over in the rain this morning to hit the Brewery Artwalk [LINK]. It’s a twice annual event at the downtown brewery complex where some of the artists open their studios for you to meet them and see their work. I wanted to get there early so that if anything caught my […]
Saturday night in Oakland was the 6 hour jam session comprised of me, Keith and Shelli (The Beattieles), Charlie, some pizza and M&M’s, and some other guys that I’ve forgotten their names. I even got to spend some of their money on music stuff, which I love because it’s music shopping yet I don’t have […]
So last weekend was the gay piano bar, this week was the House Of Blues lesbian bar. I’ll take the piano bar anytime. Good God, because the territorial pissings going on tonight was downright frightening. A fight almost broke out in front of us while some other girls were yelling and screaming something not so nice behind us. There would be no singing “We are Family” tonight for these dolls. Drunk chicks dry humping each other on *my* back. I spilled my drink multiple times.
Stayed the night and had breakfast with Keith and Shelli this morning then headed down the peninsula to have lunch with a couple of former work friends. It was pouring rain until the central valley and it completely cleared by Santa Nella. There wasn’t a cloud in the sky when I arrived back in L.A., […]
Keith, Shelli and I met at Jack’s Bistro [LINK] in Jack London Square for champagne brunch. We tried to ignore the champagne. Two of their friends were also there and I got a bit of pee spam when I went to use the restroom. MTV advertises on the urinal pads. That would suck to get […]
Barbara said I was getting hit on, but I didn’t happen to notice so I think she was bullshittin’. After we left I still thought salmon, mocha and champagne were foods and not colors. So my heterosexuality was intact. And let me tell you about the strength of those Martini’s. I could only speak like Barry White for two days and my normal tone was like Peter Brady and his puberty squeak. we took off for home with what would ultimately be a mind numbing hangover.
[MAMMOTH GALLERY] [VIDEO LINK] Watching “Big Fish” in the window reflection on the way home from Mammoth. The 6th annual Imageworks ski trip wrapped up Sunday with a quiet ride home. Busted ankles, lost snowboards, jacoozeeing, and snowmobiling were all part of the fun. I am now a snowmobiler. Whatever that means.
French Toast with Canadian maple syrup and fruit compote $8.50. After brunch at Campanile/La Brea Bakery [LINK] the parental units wanted to go Farmers Market and then to the Beverly Center. It’s been a very 3rd Street day. You do know meat has artifical coloring right? It’s not red because it’s bloody. I’m also currently […]
