TO LIVE AND DIE IN L.A.

last time i went to l.a. for a vacation i ended up selling a whole box of mags in one day, met other players, and got good photos. this time we went for the roadsoda show and to go on photo missions and hustle the magazine some more, but whenever you go anywhere with any type of agenda you can forget about it. just partying thats all.

brette and dega were on their way to new mexico. they stopped by to surprise brette's dad at this bar he runs. we met them for free drinks.

jason hit the dance floor and confessed his cindy lauper fetish. thats cool.

sleepy d.

we went to the burrito king a few times. sucks. the guacamole tastes like a powder mix that you add water to. one night dave completely flipped out on them for not having his fish tacos done by the time me and jason were already done eating.

partied at albert's place for a couple days. he's working on his house for an epic halloween party. he made a "dead forest" and dug a ditch around the entire thing. he plans to pour gasoline in it and light it.

the los angeles fire department has already come to his house a bunch to tell him to basically knock it off. he loves lighting up his lawn and he's done it everytime ive been there.

its fun at albert's.

he's a good host. on a side note black monkey, the burgerworld optician, made up a new pair of glasses for jason and made him official. they're gold frames and the lenses are carl zeiss with gold tint and an amber fade, comes with a scratch resistant coating and uv proctection of course.

we went to hennessey + ingalls bookstore which is pretty awesome and used to be my favorite for nerding out..

..but right around the corner is arcana which is 99% photography books. i couldve oops pooped in there. both these stores now sell hamburger eyes. fyi.

i kinda heard that people in l.a. were crazy, but this girl sealed the deal and made it official. we gave her a flyer to the show and she went bonkers.

we get our minds right at tim and julie's house.

opening night.

andy mueller was there and we all fanned out when lance mountain showed up. i was too pussy to get a photo and then he left right away.

old buddy mike manzoori.

new buddy sandy carson.

after party.

notice monkey in the background hiding from the shotgun sesh. notice him and hong bought russian mafia hats in l.a.

this girl found a live turtle in a dumpster. she brought it home to play with 2 turtles she already had. she came home from work one day and the new guy ate the other 2 guys. she brought the skeletal remains to give to albert. she's holding a turtle head right here.

turtle bones.

wizard fire.

SAN DEE-GAY-GO

this time around was nuts and butts. proof is in the pudding i guess.

after doing the roof a bunch of times, keith went bonkers and jumped off the chimney.

gene pretty much has a wife and kid, monkey pretty much has 2 girlfriends, that doesnt mean they cant gay off every now and then.

dave turned everyone onto the coconut oil for a deep dark tan and kept hiking up his shorts to make sure his "thighs" got tan too.

this band was a black sabbath/smiths cover band. they played the music of black sabbath perfectly while this dude sang morrisey lyrics over it. it was crazy. ironman with shoplifters of the world over it. i was confused.

keith goes off the deck and into that hole in the fucking raft.

too much tequila can impair your eyesight and your decision making.

hong was drinking blue dolphin shots on the rocks. this dude at the bar asked him if he liked "fitness". we were like huh? he says, "fitness dick in your mouth". oh!

hong goes rodeo style on keiths back. nuts and butts, what'd i tell you.

4am chili cheese fries.

we had some tournaments too.

uriah was backing out of the driveway and did a fakie smith stall on the edge of a cliff. he got super stuck.

this is the tow truck driver who came with his winch, chains, jacks, etc. and still couldnt do shit. we got about 10 dudes to just lift the back of his truck back over, while trying not to fall down the cliff.
