Aerosmith & Cheap Trick at The Forum

When I was a little kid, my Dad drove me and two friends to the Long Beach Arena to see Cheap Trick. It was the “Dream Police” tour, and Moon Martin opened up for them. He absolutely sucked. It was the 3rd concert I had ever attended. Kiss and The Who were the first two. […]

Merry Friggin’ Christmas

Merry friggin’ Christmas and Happy New Year. Now get the hell out. Stripped naked, and left to rot out by the loading docks, the Sony Christmas tree that graced the lobby just days ago has fullfilled it’s earthly duties. I hope all ex-employees aren’t treated this way.

2002 Rose Parade

I’m freezing, tired, yet amped up on enough sugar to choke a cow. Me and 1,000,000+ people along 5 1/2 miles of road. Here’s my slice of the pie. That’s one busy photo. After last night I’m tired of people touching me. The front row seats are cool though. Sleep is overrated, I keep telling […]

Disneyland New Years Eve

New Years Eve. At 5:00pm we’re sitting in a Sports Chalet in L.A. trying on new snowboarding clothing, by 6:30pm we’re deep in the throngs of Disneyland. With shiny new annual passes in our pockets, Jill and I head over to California Adventure with some unwarranted skepticism. The next thing ya know we’re soaring over […]

Cars And Guitars

It’s only across the street, yet it took me nearly 6 months to go to Peterson Automotive Museum to see the “Cars and Guitars” exhibit. It was also the last day it was open. Me and my best friend Procrastination went. Herbie “THE” Lovebug was there. Van Halen’s “Hot For Teacher car was there. I […]

Christmas Morning

The peeps home. Where is everybody? Come on, let’s eat and open presents already!?

Hollywood Blvd. To Universal Studios

“Just take the subway to…” Never thought I’d hear that in L.A. George was in town for the holidays from New Zealand. We hopped the Metrorail from Hollywood Blvd. over to Universal City to see “The Lord of the Rings”. It was playing on the IMAX screen. I’m now a fan of L.A.’s subway. It’s […]

Fairfax

The bookends of my day. 8:30am morning dailies to see the film from the previous nights filmout, and what I think most nights are like driving home. A blurry streaky 10 to 15 minutes. Just a rat on his squeaky wheel during the week. Tired, hungry, and a four day weekend ahead with no big […]

Christmas Party

How to completely negate the aerodynamic benefits of a Bug. Although all cars should have topiary on top of them. The world might be a better place. Tonight was a holiday party at Friend Chris and Andrea’s. Know how some people collect Star Wars action figures? I collect blonde women. Mandy, Janel, Jennifer, Andrea, and […]

Sony Holiday Party At Gotham Hall

The office party was at Gotham Hall on the 3rd Street Promenade. Of course no one’s allowed to bring guests, so it’s not really fun to mingle with everybody you already work with. The guacamole was so spicy I had to run to the bar and beg for a bottled water. Seeing your fellow employees […]

The Getty Museum

Before going to see “The Majestic”, and an after movie trip to Jerry’s Famous Deli for dessert, we headed up to The Getty museum for a look around. It turned into a sampler platter of art and views because of the lack of time, but vowed to come back some day when it’s warmer. Bouguereau’s […]

Vegas Baby – Charlie And Lisa’s Wedding

[ELVIS WEDDING VIDEO] Took off Sunday to Vegas for Charles and Lisa’s Wedding. We all stayed at the Paris Hotel and ate, and ate, and ate, and gambled, and gambled, and gambled… I caught a cold. There were a shit load of cowboys in town too. The National Rodeo finals were going on and when […]

The Beverly Center

Hungry, I ran to the Beverly Center for some food. Specifically, Rubios. As I was eating on the rooftop dining area I noticed the Park La Brea towers and realized I live downtown. I didn’t know that. Congratulations also go out to the Beverly Center for winning the “Ugliest Ass Santa Meet and Greet Ever”. […]

Christmas Tree Shopping

Thanksgiving Week In Australia

[AUSTRALIA 1.0 GALLERY] Traveling in a fried-out combieOn a hippie trail, head full of zombie I met a strange lady, she made me nervous She took me in and gave me breakfast And she said, Do you come from a land down under? Where women glow and men plunder? Can’t you hear, can’t you hear […]

New Orleans And A Stranger With Gay Porn

[MATT DRESSED UP FOR HALLOWEEN] After all day at the festival and a long wait for a cab last night we awoke late and walked around the Quarter for a bit. Keith and Kyle visited a fairly small internet cafe and the guy next to them was quite busy downloading gay porn. For the whole […]

The Black Crowes At Voodoo Music Experience

The Voodoo Music Festival [LINK] is an all day shindig with 3 stages. There were lots of people goofing about all day, lots of booths to visit and food to eat. Unfortunately the Black Crowes didn’t get a whole set because Snoop Dog decided to hog the stage earlier in the day. I wanted to […]

The Lost Weekend

Matt woke up this morning and wanted boots. He got boots alright.

LAX to New Orleans

Matt Kimball, Steve Bell, Nick Walker and two of Matt’s friends, Keith and Kyle and I, are all meeting up in New Orleans for a weekend of music and drinkin’. Since the 911 attacks they suggested getting to the airport early. I got here way to early.

Harry Potter Wrap Party

Wizardry at the Harry Potter Wrap Party. Ok, so I only shot one photo tonight. At some point in the night I think I forgot I had a camera, and may have even forgotten my name too. After parking at the Hollywood Studios, and waiting in a line for an hour, we caught the bus […]
