September 3, 2008THROUGH HELL AND HIGH TIDE 
Matt and Kim were awesome. it was pretty much a really intense pizza party, except we didn't talk about jesus afterwards.
Remember back in middle school/high school when youth groups would try to lure you into their masses by offering you pizza and movies and popcorn.
How many kids do you think are converted to a religion simply because they are poor and enjoy pizza parties?
If Jesus was on a bagel bite, could you have Jesus anytime?

I went to the California State Fair and I felt like i did a good job seeing as i got in for free, didn't eat any greasy fried food and went on two amazing rides for free.
thanks to lindsay, tiana, jamaica and the lady that gave jamaica 12 tickets on a paper card.
what is with the fair using electronic cards instead of tickets?
do you think they were getting sick of people trying to make counterfeit tickets?

The summer is over and you're all sad. You can always do what Tom Hanks did and drop out of Sac State a semester before he graduated. I mean he is super successful. I pretty much did that last year. I really should go back to school, but sac state is the worst school ever this is including most teachers, the facilities, the programs.
Going to school should be about education and not jumping through a million loop holes just to add one class. plus when i was going to this school the president was corrupt as fuck. i met him once and i swore i saw dollar signs in his pupils. fucked up.

Also Matt and Kim are playing at Luigi's Pizza this Wednesday at 8pm.
I don't know how much it is, but i am super stoked. If the name doesn't ring a bell they play that yeah yeah song that i love to play and dance to.
Pretty much it is all ages and is going to be super fucking fun. Believe me it is worth procrastinating on your homework
and it brings back memories when I was playing in a punk band called The Celery Stalkers at our local pizza joint Maui Pizza.

Riding to Yuba City was a long and difficult journey. We were faced with many challenges including finding our way across a 400 ft crevice in the main road we took. We all insisted on pushing on so we could complete our trip. a few broke down and everyone ran out of gas.
Luckily at the finish line we had a swimming pool and the most amazing food at the Papas Yuba house.

That would suck if you became possessed by some daemon dude because he would use your body to kill all your friends and possess other people so he can create an army of mindless drones.
wouldn't that get boring controlling everyone? what do you do after everyone is a slave?
you cant really do anything because nothing would ever happen. you would probably feel lonely and cry all the time because you realized that possessing everyone is the ultimate douche bag move and you're now that bro that hangs out at Beach Hut Deli drinking cheap beer and hollering at girls that walk by.

The Official Fifa 09' Soundtrack has been announced and it is more electro then ever featuring tracks from MGMT, The Bloody Beetroots, Chromeo, CSS, The Ting Tangs and many more. I for one think this is tight because you can play some soccer while simultaneously throwing a dance party for all your super tight hip soccer friends.
This also means hella hip alternative kids are going to get into soccer and all those soccer kids with crestas or faux hawks are going to start showing up at the club wearing brazil and manu track jackets.
I suggest a soccer theme dance party to kick off the release of this new soundtrack and except the bridge between the two very strange and different cultures.
Now that i think about it i think burritos has already bridged that gap. I always see hipster kids and soccer fans in Taqueria Cancun on Mission street i just guess i've never seen them talk. Now they have something to talk about.
Hurray for burritos.
Don't forget to go to Take Flight on Wednesday and this Thursday we are giving away 30 free pints of pabst. first come first serve, 1 per person to celebrate Southern Hospitality night at R15. Check out the flyers on the left.

The other night James had a porch party. I realize I love porch parties especially porch parties where girls pee on the movie Purple Rain. I am not saying that it is a bad movie, but anyone who will straight up pee on a dvd while at a party is pretty awesome.
Who is down for a Guerrilla Porch Party? This would pretty much entail getting a lot of booze putting on a jacket and heading out so we can find a bomb ass porch and then just post up and drink beers till:
A. the owner of the house comes out and parties with us B. the owner of the house comes out and tells us to get off their property or C. the owner calls the cops and we all go to jail.

I visited family in Mississippi, i planned on hanging out more with the locals but i had limited time so i spent most of it with family so that is why there aren't that many pictures in this set.
The first part of the set is my family and i crab hunting at twilight, apparently this is also when the sharks like to feed and it is also when i liked to swim (i found out after i got out of the water that sharks feed at twilight)

I am glad there was tons of shit talking and stuff.
Also Team Fuck allowed you to take home a little of the night when you took your shoes off and confetti poured out like sand. Or when you found it in the darkest crevices of your body.
I am looking forward to the next one so we can show Sacramento what we are truly made of

Slaughter was right about people going to lipstick, getting drunk, listening to intoxicating music and making out with everyone. I am pretty sure if you didn't make out with anyone then you're a god damn loser... and no one likes losers... no one.

I can't remember the last time I have sweat so much from going completely nuts. Only the best songs were playing and everyone was partying so hard that my camera lens would fog up the second i stepped foot in the door. People were grinding, making out, jumping, shoving and screaming. It was hands down one of the best Fuck nights ever.
This is how I imagine the IPOD battle night will go except of course for the Fuck Crew winning (ie Jon Droll, Alice FR and myself) This also means you better fucking go nuts after we blow your mind with our song selections.
Way of the warrior 
Urban Outfitters had MKDMND, Must.Not.Die and I dj up on this hell of tall platform with no rails. I was tempted to jump from the platform onto the first floor. It was probably the 3 Tilts I consumed right before. Since everyone was sober I felt weird about taking their photos... plus i would have to ask people to take their photos because i would feel creepy just doing it otherwise. Maybe next time we do it i will take more photos.
|Posted July 28th 3:15 pm|July 25, 2008Play the victim 
I grew up in Roseville/Rocklin so it was kind of weird being back seeing how my life pretty much revolves around Sacramento and San Francisco. Its weird because Roseville is this suburbia and i'd like to think the area Get Up was at is like a mini-sacramento, but that is only because it has like 5 bars all next to each other in a half mile radius. I guess I feel like Sacramento has a bunch of strategically placed bars and my life pretty much revolves around them.
Anyways, I got too wasted for my own good and ended up taking photos of some locals posing on cars and stuff... but that was the last thing i really remember.
|Posted July 28th 3:15 pm|July 22, 2008 WE OWN THE NIGHT
Lipstick photos are up... I would add more, but i don't really know what to talk about. I guess I could just ramble on about how I have nothing to ramble on about. Sacramento is making me happy again, more people are going out and having fun. I guess people don't really want to hear other people talk, they just want to get drunk, party, wake up with a hangover, go to work and look at photos of their debauchery... so less talk and more photos.
However, if you do want to talk about music, movies, politics, personal issues, scandal then come to R15 tonight and hang out... ill play some feel good summer jams and you can get 30% off your drinks. (Corner of R and 15th 10pm Free 21+)

Speaking of the future here is a haiku:
Once this baby hits

some serious shit.
and still on the topic of "future" there is a lot going on this week Including R15, me partying in Rosetown on Friday Night, playing some tunes at Urban Outfitters on Saturday (7-10pm) and then blowing you away later that night at the Townhouse. And around the corner is that Ipod battle deal and right after that is the 18+ (with booze) Shoot The Lights Out.
People are telling me money is a big problem and they can't come out so I came out with this new theory. If you collect 100 Pennies you can turn that in and get a fresh, crisp dollar bill. So start saving cause there is plenty to do in the city of trees.
come back tomorrow for Lipstick photos

Not only did 1977 Mopeds open its door to the public in San Francisco, but I also went to one of the best parties I've ever been to.
There was a secret performance that i thought i could reveal to everyone, but apparently due to legal reasons i can't say who played or post any photos, so basically i super imposed the images to fulfill my fantasy dj set of Abraham Lincoln and Rowdy Roddy Piper. It was that epic http://welcometodanceclub.blogspot.com/, the best dj set i've heard in a long time... it might of been all of the jello shots, rum and coke and a sweaty guy on acid rubbing up on me while dancing and staying up until 7am, but this was the most fun i've had since... ever.
You should go to take flight tonight and try to one up abraham vs the piper... there will be a super secret dj that will blow your fucking mind

I am feeling much better today, even though i got plastered yesterday and tina's party and i only got like 5 hours of sleep... well i am off to san francisco to a secret show at a secret warehouse located in some secret district that only your sleazy cousin's drug dealer knows. i will have amazing photos to prove it.

This party had to be one of the most craziest i've ever been too. There were so many different groups of people, it reminded me of one of those high school movie parties and all the stereotypical groups of people were there all meshing at one party.
That is not the reason why it was crazy, it was crazy because there were fireworks and fighting and ghost riding the whip and screaming and dancing and eventually a hose was turned on and sprayed at people and some crazy ass drunk 50 year old dude swung a bat at my friend and i.
The might be the most epic party ever

Regardless I still took photos of everyone else having fun and here are the photos.
However, I did happened to be riding in Landpark when I saw someone in a Gorilla costume playing the drums on their front lawn and two young indie broads were dancing behind him... that was pretty dope.

For some reason there were a ton of other photographers... does anyone know where those kids are posting that...or was it for a school project or something?
Also SNR decided to publish and article about Takeover Tokyo. Click on article and it will take you to the article.

I had the most amazing times in Portland... Mopeding, burritos, baby pools, no pants dance, shirtless men, cuddling with troy and lydia, shotgunning beers with brodeo, smoking 20 year old tobacco from a pipe th at was sitting out for 6 months. Everything about my week in Portland was amazing. It is a beautiful city and i am so grateful for the Puddle Cutters for hosting the best rally ever. Although my opinion is biased because I won a brand new 2008 Tomos Sprint on just $40 worth of raffle tickets. Check out the photos there are so many good times to be shared.

So last night I made my way on a crazy adventure including a house party in my midtown which included a lot of good looking hair, electro music, and a swimming pool.
I also stumbled upon some sort of magical carnival party. there i found a gila with a hula-hoop, a bounce house and a very small swimming pool.
Here is the deal, in order to throw a good party you must have a swimming pool. If you think about all the good parties you've been to they all have swimming pools. SWIMMING POOLS!
