Cancun Trip, Day 1: Fear And Loathing At Benito Juarez

Arrived in Cancun after a 7 hour layover in Mexico CIty. Damn that sucked. I really hate flying too. Couldn't sleep a wink on the flights so I was up over 40 hours in a row before finally going to sleep that night. My lady is lucky, she can sleep on planes. Oh well we made it safe and sound. The hotel is awesome! They have a super nice staff waiting on us hand and foot, our room is spacious and has a balcony, we can walk to the beach in less than 5 minutes, and they make the most delicious Pina Coladas we have ever tasted! Can't wait to see what all Cancun has to offer. Exploration begins first thing tomorrow morning... as soon as I get some ice cold Cerveza in me that is.

Sk8face

Looks like a new documentary called Sk8face, about the history of skateboard graphics is coming out sometime in the near future! I can't wait to see this one and have it bring back tons of good memories. I remember back in the day when even the ads in Thrasher were enjoyable to look at. You could see all the latest Powell Peralta skull graphics, the weirder graphics from old school companies like Life Skateboards, the Natas graphics on SMA, the hand painted Gonz graphics... Damn I wish I bought a bunch of decks and stashed them away. Oh well, at least I have 3 of the 5 original Bones Brigade decks at home. Anyone want to sell me a Tommy Guerrero Flaming Dagger Deck, or a Lance Mountain Future Primative? Let me know...
Damn I Wanted This Board Bad As A Kid!

Pinball Hall Of Fame

I just read a really cool LA Times article on the Pinball Hall of Fame in Las Vegas. I guess some guy out there is a total pinball fiend and has like 800 machines, 200 of which are in the museum to play. Im going to have to get some people together and hit this place up next time I'm out in Las Vegas!

Creepiest Album Cover Ever

Saw that Deicide has a new album out called, Till Death Do Us Part. It sounds pretty cool, but this cover art is something else. Paintings from the renaissance era were already kind of creepy to me, but this one takes the cake!
Uuuuggggghhhhhhh!

N's 30th At Red White and Bluezz

Tonight was my girlfriend's 30th birthday party so we went out to a really nice place we had wanted to visit for a while now, Pasadena's own, Red White and Bluezz. Its a jazz bar and wine and cheese lovers paradise (as long as you don't accidentally order the worlds stinkiest cheese as I unfortunately did). Both of our families went and we had a great time. The food was delicious and the dining area set up was really cool as well. We were in the "speakeasy" section which is in the back and around the corner. It felt like we were in another time and place, since its set up in a basement area with a huge wine locker and really dim lighting. I'd say go check it out, but like Lavar Burton always says, (yes Lavar, not Jack) "You don't have to take my word for it". Go find out for yourself.
Say Cheeeeese! Uh, I Mean Champaaaaagne!!!
