Saturday Dynamite!

i had one long saturday evening.

at the mira mesa workshop, randy (R.A.D.) dropped by to check out the workshop and drop off flyers to his art show this upcoming saturday at It’s A Grind next to westview high school. come and support the cause.

img_1460.JPGimg_1459.JPG

after work, i went home to a bunch of people partying at the party pad. it was my mom’s high school reunion or something. they were video chatting with other members of their class in the philippines. crazy how technology can connect people no matter where ever you are in the world.

oh did i mention, the food? oh man. the food was like our parties but more awesome. sorry guys, but this menu was loaded. i was the only one at the food table, and look how much food was left!
img_1471.JPG

i took this as a vertical pic but i dont like posting vertical pics here. the top is the philippines web cam abd the bottom is the cam here at my house. they were on this thing til 4am in the morning and they were LOUDER than us.

img_1474.JPG

met with some of the posse and drove out to BAR DYNAMITE in old town-ish. this spot is slightly bigger than Landlords (RIP), but is located in such a shady place.

img_1476.JPG

Toe-Knee forgot his ID. so we waited on the block for a while for josie with tk’s wallet and ID. so the dudes walked across the street to this gelato ice cream spot. i said no thanks to the calories but from what the guys said, it was good.

img_1485.JPGimg_1479.JPG

ended up doing more waiting. wish i had a sticker to represent.
img_1493.JPG

hit the bar for a couple of beers. Bar D was highlighted in all red.

img_1490.JPGimg_1501.JPG

and now for your entertainment, first premiered in december 2006, and shown in its entirety, Fatcho Libre

R.I.P. Landlord Jims

Landlords Jims is closing their doors after tonight last hurrah. after only knowing about dive bar for about a year, they are calling it quits due to the increased industrialization of downtown. kinda sucks. actually, more like, really sucks. from what i heard, they are destroying the block prolly for condos or some shit. what other bar can you buy tall cans that come in a brown paper bag? exactly. goodbye Jim the Landlord. Rest In Pieces.

everyone atleast tried to have their last drinks and say their last goodbyes. i say atleast cuz that shit was crackin at 945pm. over it. not worth waiting in line for 45min to rub my shoulders on dudes.

img_1431.JPG

one last look.

img_1436.JPG

if you didnt hear, there was a huge fire downtown last sunday. the spot right across the street burned to rubble. could it be arson? to build new condos? i wouldnt doubt it. someone should burn qualcomm stadium so we can get a new stadium.

img_1438.JPG

ghirardelli’s doesnt need their 500,000,000 watt light sign to get your attention. the chocolate does all the smelling. sooner or later, your nose does all the walking.

img_1440.JPG

since we got to see Landlord Jims our last time in line, for 30min, we decided to visit our favorite hot spot, HEAT… heat… heat… (thats an echo if you didnt know). somebody beat us to Heat, and also beat us to the alcohol. red face chris.

img_1441.JPG

it was crackin. yeah… crackin with dudes. i witnessed a ratherly large girl freak a dude and her skirt thought there was a stick-up and reached for the sky.  worst sight of the night.

img_1444.JPG

this is a turntable to play music. model: technik 500

img_1447.JPG

this is a wannabe turntable used by a D.J. (disabled jackass). Model: Casio DN-S35002863GAY (no experienced required)

img_1446.JPG

someone let the alcohol do the talking.

img_1449.JPG

oh what! DJ BLUBIZZALZ in da house.

img_1453.JPG

on the way out… our nose did the walking. i told you. back to ghirardelli’s.

ended the night with free chocolate.

Chargers AFC Playoff Tickets!

Playoff tickets are in! out of the past 3 playoff tickets we’ve gone to , these are by far the coolest looking ones. its a silver hologram-ish ticket. however its kinda hard to read the fine print. i hope this makes everyone jealous and become a season ticket holder next year. We need more friends to party with. BIG game sunday! Getcha popcorn ready!

me and kimtan went to 2 charger playoff games, in 05 and 07 playoffs. they lost both. the last playoff win was with stan humphries in 1994.

mr ocampo got new 19″ spinners on his ride. however, no one can sit in the back or that shit will be scrapping on the inner wall.

img_1266.JPG

ate at BAMBOO on prospect in la jolla. the whole place was pretty much reserved for our party of the year, day 2 of 2 into 2008. dope ass skate video and hip hop soundtracks. kirin, sapporo, sake, sake bombs, sushi, and wildboyz dont mix.

img_1301.JPGimg_1277.JPG

sake bombs are the messiest and loudest reason to drink beer ever.

pure sake bombs in action. look at them faces of excitement!

the homies walked next door to Prospect bar and lounge for secret birthday shots of PATRON.

the game: Sushi Roulette

1 out of 10 sushi’s has the chefs spicy ass relish.

loser: ojay. its his birthday! whatd you expect? rigging the game is only part of the fun

he nearly blew fire out of his mouth. alta dena came to the rescue. kinda.

rollin 10 deep x 6. on a wednesday.

after party at our favorite Prospect Bar and Lounge. The place was open and we were pretty much the only ones in the house. its much more funner when you dont have so many damn people there and your closest friends are with you!

lap dances on the house by the rainbow warriors!

as you can see, so much fun.

img_1362.JPG
