Have a great weekend!

Slingshot!

The other day I was at the Workshop in PQ hangin' out with Freddy and Vince, when we came across Vince Ocampo's blog (Chris' younger brother). Vince recently posted a YouTube video of him and his friend Kim on the Slingshot ride at the San Diego Fair. Its freakin' hilarious! We were dying while watching it.  Freddy said it sounded like Vince got stabbed in his opening scream/yell.  HAHA  Just watch the first 20 seconds and listen to Vince... I love you bro but this is too funny not to post!

Just check out the opening screen shot. You can see the terror in his eyes...

Now check out the video: (Listen to him at 12 seconds... HAHA)

Here's another video of my other friend Lambert and his mom Candice... Enjoy!

I'm still laughing...

Bumsville Potluck Dinner

After another weekend in LA, I was headed back down straight to Bumsville for our family potluck dinner. I didn't eat all day Sunday so I was starving. On my drive back to SD, I was hungry and sleepy. I had to call people to keep me awake. I didn't get to Bumsville until 7PM...

Since Annabelle (Bumsville) did such a wonderful job bloggin' about our dinner, I thought it would be much easier to just copy and paste her entry over. HAHA I hope you don't mind! Be sure to check out the Bumsville Bitches blog too.

It was time to have more family bonding with some compadres of ours...so we thought it would be perfect to have a bunch of people over for dinner. Thanks to everyone that made it out...We truely enjoyed feeding all your stomachs and making you all go into food comas. We're gonna try to have get togethers a lot more often so that everyone can stay in touch more often and just get away from the rest of our busy lives to just relax, enjoy good company, and eat delicious food.

On the menu for the night, chips and a variety of different dips...ranging from pico de gallo, a house salsa, salsa con queso, spinich artichoke dip, caesar salad, chicken & eggplant parmigiana, mashed potatoes, spanish/green beans, spaghetti, rice crispy treats, brownie bites, banana splits, and key lime pie.

Geez louise, that's a lot of food. So gross. haha.

Michelle and I tworken it in the kitchen.
Terry worken the breasts.
Question of the night: "Why does it smell so good when you cook onions?"
First ones to pop the bottle of vino open.
I promise we're not a gang.
Guilly and Felli Fels!
Dinner's ready folks!!!

I heart One People!

Thanks to Scott and Brent from One People Project for lacin' me up with a box of fresh new gear!  I'm lovin' the tank tops!  HAHA

Check out the Fall 2008 line or visit their new site: OnePeopleProject.com

Here's a quick history about One People Project:

One People Project was established by brothers Scott and Brett Baldwin in the summer of 2006. Initially intended as a side project while attending school, the brand’s designs quickly attracted attention in their local community of San Diego.  The goal was to create a lifestyle brand focusing on quality, fit and feel, in addition to expressing themes of love, solidarity, and community.

After a year of hard work, One People Project delivered their first season to various reputable storefronts such as UNIV, Greyone, 5 & A Dime, and Versus. Two seasons later, One People Project has developed into a full cut & sew clothing line producing shorts, denim, pants, and hats, in addition to tee’s, sweatshirts, knits, and jackets.

"One People" = "One Love," and the "Project" is the vehicle to spread the message.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 13TH:

That morning Jomo and I went cruised over to Chino Hills to pick up my car at Annemarie's house since she drove it back home.  We decided to all pay Kellie a visit at her new place in Diamond Bar.  We ended up staying the entire day there just hanging out while I told stories... HAHA

Yummy KFC!
Chillin'!

It was nice to just relax and catch up at Kellie's.  Its been awhile since we've all hung out.  Fun times!

Afterwards I headed back up to Hollywood to meet up with Megan to hit up LAX.  We meet a few superheroes and villans on Hollywood Blvd.

On the way back to Thai Patio, I saw Ben Baller in a beautiful Ferrari.  I wonder if he really owns that car...
Thai Patio Round 2:

It was another eventful weekend in Hollywood with great friends!  Thanks everyone for the hospitality. 

I was debating if I should go up to LA once again for Myron's actual birthday bash at Avalon but I might have to throw in the towel because I'm going to Street Scene in Downtown SD.  Plus, I'm hosting my own event on Saturday at Prospect Bar and Lounge (La Jolla) so I want to be there... I miss San Diego!  HAHA
