Who is the smart kid in this room? Most certainly not Mr. Beats because he doesn’t know which way is up, how many lefts make a right nor does he know when the LA X-Games are. Huh? Yeah, I drove up to LA last weekend thinking I was booked at my favorite hotel The Standard in downtown LA for a great weekend of extreme sports and drinking. “Nope,” said the friendly lady at the check in desk. “You’re a week early.” Ouch. Nothing makes you feel like a schmuck more than when an LA college student awaiting her big break gives you the look of idiocy from behind a service desk. What can a native San Diegan do? Of course I bounced with the quickness, went to the valet, played it off like I was at the wrong hotel and got back on the freeway

Well everything happens for a reason. Check this silver lining: I was on the freeway heading south when a gurgling noise from my mid section signaled my immediate departure from the freeway, or else… I pulled over, saw the Commerce Casio, walked in with my head down and walked out head high, 10 pounds lighter and a grand richer. Thank you donkeys! I made it back to San Diego with a pocket full of cash and nothing to do until my Wavehouse gig on Sunday.

My Weekend:

Thursday night: I forgot cuz I blacked out. Either that or I did nothing and forgot about it. Regardless, if someone knows where I was, remind me.

Friday Night: I cruised with my homeboys Brandon and Kristen from Colorado to north county where I met with the homies Seth, Nick, Chance and Gary. North County stand up! It was very chill in Encinitas, Oceanside and Carlsbad. I liked walking down the street not having to worry about some college kid trying to start shit. I bumped into Dave Shapiro at the Saloon in Encinitas. I haven’t scene that guy since ‘Nam! I guess he retired to North County. Good times!

Saturday Night: San Diego stand up! Actually, OB stand up! I went to see Slightly Stoopid, Snoop Dogg and Damien Marley.(Mickey Avalon who?) People smoked more trees than a chimney! Me, I didn’t inhale. I saw my hommie GIO puke in a cup. Ew. Sloppyness for sure, what else is new?

Sunday: Wavehouse was sick!!! I was so nervous about the turn out earlier in the day, but the sun came out and so did the people. The event went extremely well. I want to thank Shane Berry and Chris Cox for the opportunity to rock out with our C%^&s out. I had a very great time.

Anyways, I should blog this stuff. I’ll be in LA this weekend, for real this time.

Holler if you hear me, point if you see me!
