OK now... Quick & Dirty - which is going to be a lot longer than I intended to make it - Friday after work hit LA with Moose to see my girl Jess & go to DTSD on Saturday. Made it into LA just before last call which of course meant Jess' neighborhood dive bar (yes, literally, it is on the corner of her street) - JUMBO'S CLOWN ROOM. This gnarly lookin dancer that looked like a cross between Adrian (A+D) and Marilyn Manson (aged about +20 years) was a-fucking-mazing. People watching at its finest, LA is always topnotch Douchery.

Saturday rolled around pretty harsh. Between a hangover and a heartache, and fuck add heatstroke in there... I was almost REALLY not feelin' today. Hit up my spot Home over on Riverside Dr for breakfast of course. I've missed parts of LA. There's a lot of fam down here, always so nice to be around. Finally made it over to Paramount  for DTSD. Clockwise from entrance, we had China Banks, Black Label's Drunk Tank/12-Step Program stair thingy, Creature's weird cross-shaped thingy (I'm hearin this was called the Hesh Cross??), and Flip's thingy. Competitions went in the opposite order. I got to catch up with Ryan & Liz which was sooo nice. Love them. Here's actual photos from that shit via Vans. Housed some cheeseburgers. Didn't drop below about 90 degrees until 8 Goddamn PM. Didn't really take pics, was busy talking to people, eating cheeseburgers, and watchin shit get silly.

Hello! Nikki has some great candids over on this site, she was so busy working though . booo.

"Why the fuck did you even go?." Open up those nipple holes and let the rainbows enter your soul. That's the sound of me tapping you with the "shut the fuck up" stick.

Sunday AM - like, 3 AM - we headed up to San Jose. The Greek was banned from Thrasher? I guess he wasn't banned from passing out naked at the 619 house. Hit up Bill's for some awesome breakfast and then returned (returned!) a bunch of Tequila. Yes, this gives my fluffy bunny heart a bad case of the . Trucked it over to Lake Such & Such (Valley of Death-Heat) skatepark for some memorial, beer, sun, music, and awesome times. Heat is so gross. I must be getting old? OK I know I have seen Eric's band Whiskey Sunday play before but this was the first time I paid attention. They're rad! Also WTF is up with Duren sitting in the judges row with a clipboard. Beer me already WTFC.

Jessica's rad friend Woody took tons of pics. I didn't take any. Between dying, complaining about dying, actually having fun, and lots of people watching opportunities... Oh well. Fire me. Here's a few of Woody's photos... these belong to BombTwinz:
