Puddles tend to sneak up on you if you are walking the streets of sacramento

You really have to be on constant alert when walking through an ally or a parking lot.

No one likes stepping in puddles... Jumping in them is a different story.

Therefore i've decided i have respect for those who avoid the puddles

Stay dry Sacramento, watch out for puddles.

|Posted January 26th 1:36 pm|January 23, 2009party known as jungle juice

I have had the worst hangover of my life on saturday morning. I swear that someone spiked the Jungle Juice with rat poison. I had a great time but i was so confused once cops showed up at like 3.

Everyone scattered like cockroaches into the dark.

The last few days have been especially hazy... i did however make it too church today. However, i was met with carlo rossi and cigarettes. Somehow though i felt genuinely accepted at the church and greeted with warm smiles even though i most likely reeked of booze and had greasy hair.

Some dude did sing about wrestling dragons and stuff though. He also talked about how he wanted to commit suicide for most of his life before he found faith.

I am glad i dont want to kill myself. I mean i only live life from one party to the next, but its a life worth living... or is it?

WATCH OUT FOR JUNGLE JUICE

|Posted January 25th 11:36 pm|January 22, 2009PROJECT/PROTECT YOURSELF

I had so much fun at Bravado, the place was super nice and the sound was great, i also had a fun time at the taco shop and then while riding to a friend's house i got clipped by a passenger side mirror that belongs to an MR2 or something. They hit me with their side view mirror with so much force that it broke off and i flew onto their hood for a second until i was thrown off into the gutter where i flayed in the rain for a few minutes because the blow to my kidney sent me in some crazy shock. The car stopped for roughly 30 seconds and then sped off. Luckily i was only a block away from another friends house.

To the asshole that hit me, i have your side view mirror, sucker.

Thanks for messing up my bicycle and scratching up my side.

I really dont know who the winner is, the car or me.

My friend Miguel wrote my name on my hands on this night. I am still curious as too why he wrote my own name on my hand. Maybe it is because he figured i was going to pass out somewhere and at least with a name someone might of found some information on where i should be returned if found.

I am just glad he didn't write my social security somewhere on my body. I dont want someone snatching my identity

The New Year is upon us and it has my head spinning. I don't really know what's going on at all.

I have a lot of planning I have to do tonight like, charge my camera battery, polish my tv tray, sharpen my knife and come up with meaningful and authentic resolutions.

You don't want to come up with something unoriginal like working out or being a vegetarian or get a christmas corgi or learn how to make award winning christmas quiche.

I am deciding to tell my New Years resolution is to get a cougar and a black bear to fight each other. That would bring meaning to my life and i think there are tons of people that would you tube a video like that. I'd probably end up on Good Morning America or possibly Larry King Live.

My New Years resolution is too eventually end up on Larry King Live sometime this year for some reason and i am sticking too it.

|Posted December 31st 3:55 am|December 27, 2008Destroy my privates
Recently I feel like more people think i am starting to become more "creepy" because i am taking more photos of naked people. In order to counteract the "creepy" status i am going to starting getting more photos of me kissing babies heads. I also plan on volunteering at a local high school or maybe i will coach an all-girls soccer team.

Hopefully this will prove to you that i am not "creepy" just simply trying to get some real photos of real things happening in your real life.

Bro i am just taking photos. (new motto of 2009)

I am also selling out... I was offered money, drugs, booze and sexual favors to put a link to Must.Not.Die / Diamond Monsterrr (The spelling error is intentional) new mixtape.

I have this theory that Mike Diamond and Must.Not.Die are on search for some strange diamond that is the source of the fountain of youth. Both there names relate to this theory and i think this whole dj thing is a cover up so the government doesn't starting leaning their heads towards this fearsome threesome.

However, this would also mean that the diamond they are looking for is definitely in the rough and somewhere in midtown. why else would they start djing here? i mean does anyone even remember Quinten, Miguel and Mike in high school? the answer is no.

They kinda just showed up one day. If you believe my theory then please send them a myspace message and tell them that you know about their dirty little secrets of finding the fountain of youth.

Hopefully ill get some tamales for christmas or maybe some christmas taffy, but what i really want for xmas is a christmas corgi.

Yes I will be celebrating christmas with a fine cigarette and some coffee and irish cream. I will also hopefully be trashed and at the Mercantile or some other dive bar, maybe Old Tavern?

|Posted December 24th 6:15 pm|December 20, 2008WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED?

I really don't think there are words that can describe the way i feel on this cold hazy morning

My hair is a mess, i have an orange tongue, i reek of booze and i woke up wearing pink booties. If i was found in an alley someone would probably offer me a sac lunch or have me committed.

I don't remember much from my Sparks fueled night of dancing, groping, grinding and exposed skin. I am warning you right now if you're at work or under 18 this gallery contains nudity.

I am not one for posting alt boobz, but one time someone told me that "Sex sells and unfortunately i am buying" with this in mind i am posting any and all photos that contain boobies and peen and what not.

Is this turning into a raunchy style photo blog a la Last Nights Party?

Maybe

Only time will tell

I wish i had a funny story to tell, but i think you will get the idea from all the incriminating photos.

Also there are over 200 photos which means this is the biggest post since the moped rally i went to in san francisco.

|Posted December 21th 3:15 pm|December 18, 2008 we dance all the wrong songs
This morning I woke up in a very confused state in very strange surroundings. This was thanks to one of the most fun nights i've had in a long time. I also believe its because I had a very profound dream. Unfortunately I don't remember the dream, but I woke up feeling profound and enlightened.

This is what I have learned of Steve Aoki, he is nice, he drinks grey goose and he eats tacos. He also tried to get someone else to buy other people food which is awesome in my book. If i had the power to do that I would make other people buy my friends food.

Love you Aoki,
Nick

|Posted December 19th 5:35 pm|December 16, 2008 ONCE AGAIN, EVERYTHING CHANGES
Sparks has been forced to stop production because it targets "young drinkers". Apparently if they take the caffeine out and change their marketing they can continue producing it, but frankly if it isn't in a battery like can and it isn't going to stain my tongue orange then i don't want it

Now everything has changed.

Steve Aoki is tonight. ill teak plenty of photos. be ready.

|Posted December 18th 5:25 pm|December 15, 2008 Howdy, Y'all

Magically my camera has fixed itself so now the flash is working. Technology has a funny way of listening to you sometimes.

That is good because this week is going to be full of wacky photo opportunities starting with Lipstick tonight. Wednesday I will be djing/taking photos at Badlands with Raquel, thursday steve aoki is djing at the park and saturday is risque.

Rumor has it some religious girls are going to be at Risque drinking, dancing and getting crazy all in the name of God.

|Posted December 16th 5:25 pm|December 15, 2008 THE ORIGINAL MUST.NOT.DIE?I use to think that Must.Not.Die lead by the funky cool ghetto black Quinten Larsen and the smooth face, dreamy, curly haired Miguel Francis were original. But after searching the vast black hole they call the internet I ran across this image and imagined a world where Hasselhoff and Coleman started a DJ DUO together in the early 80s. They would of been unstoppable and they would of inspired the masses.

There would no longer be Daft Punk, Justice or MSTRKRFT.

There would be Corey Haim and Corey Feldman leading a DJ group called The Coreys. They would be like The Twelves only better.

You could also hear the master remixing skills of Max Headroom. I assume he would be the world greatest BMORE remixer.

Point being. Must.Not.Die... innovative? or thieves?

Take Flight is tonight. You should go to Myspace, add me and repost a bulletin. I mean David Hasselhoff and Gary Coleman think its cool.

|Posted December 15th 3:25 pm|December 13, 2008 THE END OF TECHNOLOGYThe worst thing about technology is when it fails you. For whatever reason my camera last night crapped out on me and wouldn't turn on. After about an hour of trying different stuff I got it to turn on, but then my flash stop working. Luckily Nate was there and let me borrow his flash.

I took a couple shots off, but i am bummed because there were a lot of friends that i haven't seen in a while there and pretty much everyone was getting crazy. By crazy i mean drunk and making out with each other while hump dancing.

Who needs technology when we have hump dancing?

I realized i will never fall in love again and i am looking to become responsible and "fit in" to society so i am devoting my love to another one of god's creatures.

No i am not getting religious i am just drooling over the idea of getting the cutest animal in the universe.

Q: What is the cutest animal in the universe?

A: A Welsh Corgi

I think I am going to get one for christmas. Obviously I will dress it up in the latest doggy fashion and make it look super hip

It's either get a puppy or a baby. i figure dogs are easier to clean up and stuff and if i really wanted a baby i would have to deal with the opposite sex for at least 9 months and i fear that is 9 months that i would spend drinking and "losing" myself.

|Posted December 10th 4:25 pm|December 9, 2008 FEAST YOUR EYES ON THIS

One of the greatest inventions of the 20th century that goes overlooked has to be string cheese. It tastes amazing, you can fit it in a sack lunch and it is fun to eat. However, people around the world still refuse to peel strands off of or "string" the cheese. This is a tragedy. Scientists have spent countless hours and have utilized various resources to distribute this product to you with the intention of having fun and stringing the cheese.

You're spending the extra money so take the extra time to string the cheese. Don't be an animal, don't devour your cheese in one bite. Savor the moment, savor life.

The faster you run through life the faster you'll reach the end.

Currently I am living the dream of a retired republican fueled by painkillers and wine.

While living this dream i've decided to find some REAL stuff. I want to talk about REAL things so i can decide what is REAL and what is FAKE.

MGMT is REAL and so is this cover of TLKNG HDS or Talking Heads.

MGMT may seem like a bunch of rich college douche bags just sleeping with way too many townies and doing way too much coke, but you my friends are just jealous. you're jealous because they are super talented dudes chopping up life and only eating what looks good to them.

If you don't believe they have talent then check out MGMT covering Talking Heads. They did it before anyone else did and they did it with Pizzazz. I don't know how to spell Pizzazz or what it means, but it just sounds good.

MGMT you shocked me again.

|Posted December 8th 4:40 pm|December 2, 2008 guilty of being whiteLife is confusing y'all and i feel like the only way to truly express myself is through the eyes of a 15 year old punk kid who hates his parents too much.

Maybe its all the drinking and swearing and maybe its all the pain pills but pretty much guilty of being white by minor threat sums of my life.

Punk never died, it just buried itself deep in my heart.

Like, sometimes there's a time in your life when you think "Man, I really want to do this or that." But then you don't and then the moment passes and then you never feel like it again. So I guess I miss being young, mostly. Life is just a series of momentary sensations and then you just lose them. Remember the first time you ate a popsicle? A red one? The best kind. You'll never EVER get that moment back. Fuck! Remember when those popsicle sticks had jokes on them? Remember that penguin joke? You would tell your friends and everyone would have a good laugh and then your friends would tell you the joke about a dishwasher resulting in more boisterous laughter. That's insane to think about. You'll never taste pb & j for the first time. Never again. It will never, ever taste the same.

So I guess you should get a good meal in you. Eat, guys. Everyone is looking a little skinny these days.

I know you've all have been waiting in agony, clenching your hands tightly against the mouse why sitting at work, on your couch or on the dinner table.

All I can say is that it is worth the anticipation and is filled with sex, drugs and politics.

I know you all hate me for having this down for so long because your are all now dating other people and its like spreading salt over an opened wound, but god damnit the people need to know so they can confirm rumors and win bets.

In other words I now have the technology to post more frequently.

I know what you're thinking... that i am either burnt out, getting lazy or dead. the truth is my family went on a trip to europe and they forgot me at home and while i was watching old movies, losing tarantulas and putting aftershave on my face and screaming two burglars that go by the "wet bandits" tried to break into my house and i spent the last week trying to thwart them off by setting up clever booby traps.

Speaking of boobies all these galleries that took me forever to load are full of cleavage so enjoy.

I hope ill get better at this whole updating thing, but not having a laptop/internet at home has proven to be difficult.

October 11, 2008 CLAIR DE LUNE I know y'all hate me since i haven't updated content in over a week and my site was down for two days. I know that you're thinking, hey i am coming out to come dance and get my photos taken the least he can do is post those photos of me and i know a lot of you were depressed because you had to wait to see those photos.

I also know more of you were wondering if the whole "hipster" dance scene was over because i haven't posted in a week, but i can assure you that those kids are out their dancing their hardest and making sure that y'all are entertained as well.

Listen, the photos are finally up so everyone can get happy and celebrate. The hipster can find photos of themselves enjoying times with their friends and family while the lurkers can live vicariously through these photos/make fun of the decisions these "hipsters" are making.

Oh and don't forget about the lurkers outside of our solar system, they are just gathering intelligence so they can secretly takeover our society, but that is a little depressing.

Do you think i should remove my playlist for SN&R? Do you think it is outdated? Should I leave it?

Guess what y'all i finally added an archived section called TUNE IN TOKYO which has all these old memories that are waiting to be unlocked in your brain. so go check it out.

Hopefully you can spend hours at your job browsing through old memories and then start laughing at something that was funny and get some of your co-workers attention and then see an x lover and start crying and get ever more of your co-workers attention and then you can tell em about takeover tokyo and in 2 years from now they will do the same thing.

Its called Tradition y'all.

Listen, if you're happy with this don't thank me, thank Joy, because that girl kept on pushing me to have a way to see old photos. and now y'all are benefiting

anyway i spent a long time looking through all these photos, but i have to go take care of real life stuff, but when i come back i will probably start looking at more old photos. have fun and enjoy.

|Posted October 6th 7:40 pm|October 1, 2008 THE PRESSURE IS ON

So i ended up taking photos at Lipstick and a few at Press Club last Tuesday/Friday so I just decided to combined the two galleries because i was trashed on Friday and didn't take that many photos and on Tuesday someone grabbed my camera and took like tons of terrible photos.

Who y'all voting for in the upcoming election? did you know there was an election going on? do people watch SNL anymore? is it funny?

Since there are tons of smaller halloween parties and not one big main event i am making this month's "Take Flight" a halloween party so dress up in last year's costume or something and get a discount at the door. Ill work on getting some "scary" drink specials and shit.

Sacramento is dope. keep truckin'

|Posted September 19th 3:00 pm|September 16, 2008 IN THE POND

I have now learned that i am going to be interviewed for the 11 o clock news. i really don't know what they are going to ask me, but more importantly i don't know what to wear.

everyone is labeling me as a sophomoric hipster so i guess i am going to have to start by playing that role and focusing more on what looks cool instead of what is important. should i wear a western shirt or is that not hip enough. maybe my cougar shirt?

you decide.

Should i wear my glasses so i look more intelligent?

ALSO can someone please TIVO the News 10 News @ 11 for me? I have to be a responsible sophomoric hipster and get drunk/take photos at Lipstick tonight.

Apparently, dressing up as twin towers isn't "funny" i apologize for the photos offending people, but i still refuse to remove the photos from my website. People showed up on their own accord dressed as the twin towers. Yes, i took photos of everyone and that's because i live by a philosophy that good images capture events that are out of the ordinary. Elliot Erwitt put it best when he said, “To me, photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place." This event was definitely extraordinary and i thought it would be interesting the masses. Obviously the photos are interesting because it has sparked so much attention. I believe News 10 is going to do a piece on the 11 o clock news and SNR will be covering the story in this Thursdays paper. I have also heard rumors of CBS trying to get my contact information.

we will see how things unfold.

for the record this was the original flyer for the night of the alleged "9/11 party"

btw let me know if you like my new take flight flyer (contact me via myspace duh)

Every now and then someone has given me a note and its usually been pretty weird. The last time this girls walked up to me with a big smirk on her face and gave me a "coupon" good for spraying heer with whip cream and licking it off of her. I excepted the coupon, pretended to look at it and then said thank you, not realizing what it said. The girl looked confused and in my drunken state i walked off. Later the next morning i had realized what it said and was very amused at the entire situation.

The other night someone slipped this napkin into my pants pocket without me realizing it. I've decided to scan it and show the world and for now on any notes that anyone gives me shall pretty much be put up on takeover tokyo

I don't know who slipped this too me, but i hope you're attractive and some sort of ALT girl. Obviously you need work on your grammar, (your vs. you're) but i am willing to except (accept) that assuming you're attractive.

Do you know who slipped this to me? Will you tell me? Please?

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?

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.

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.

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:

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.

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.

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
Eighty-eight, you're gonna see
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.

|Posted July 23rd 2:00 pm|July 19, 2008 This is on your permanent record 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.

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

SNR decided to use my Gorilla photo in their paper... and i read part of their 30 days, 30 gigs article and lolled

You should beat the heat and have a beer with me tonight at R15
remember, you can get 30% off when you tell the bartender you're part of the invasion

|Posted July 10th 5:08 pm|July 4th, 2008We are open for business For some reason I feel like I am cursed on the fourth of july. I typically never have a good time... I mean when I was a kid it was great, but my luck changed when I was 16 and last night was no exception.

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.

|Posted July 5th 11:40 pm| July 1, 2008The worn vinyl sound of surf Lipstick was epic once again. I am glad that people are starting to come out more... i thank the sun and the moon and the season for changing. I also blame the lack of school and the aging of kids.

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.

Anyways have fun on the 4th of july go to the townhouse if your 21+ if you're 20 and younger you should go to that roseville party. Or just get drunk with your creepy Uncle and have him talk to you about all the girls he slept with before he got with your aunt.
|Posted July 4th 12:45 pm| June 27-29, 2008Hold my beer this is going to be awesome

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.

This is a photo of me with my brand new moped with the cutest details this side of the mississippi.

This had to of been the best lipstick i've been too this year. There were so many good friends some of whom i haven't seen in months and everyone was having fun. Plus there was a very small percentage of randoms which is also good.

I am going to be in Portland from Thursday night until Monday and I am looking to do things on Thursday. Friday through Saturday I will being partying with the moped army. If you want to take a couple of my friends plus me out on thursday then please let me know

I had a blast at Take Flight. I know there weren't as many people as last time, but there weren't any douche bags or bros or anything and as far as i know everyone had a great time.

I kinda drank way too much and forgot to take more photos. "There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me twice — you can't get fooled again"

Creature parties are always a blast and this was no exception. This pretty much pumped me up for my trip to Portland this weekend. which should also be fun. If you know of some cool things to do or cool people then let me know. Although ill be riding mopeds and partying with the coolest people ever i may break free and explore the beautiful city of portland

Closer to shore

Sorry for the wait on the lipstick gallery, but as you can see Takeover Tokyo has been redisgned by my friend Benjamin Della Rosa please go and check out his amazing work

We are still working out some kinks, so give me a couple days to refortify the archive. 2007 archive will probably take a little bit longer, but please be patient and enjoy

Don't forget that take flight is tonight at the press club, its going to be a lot of fun and i recommend that you go

|Posted June 23 1:30 pm| June 14 , 2008¡Feliz cumpleaños a tí!

June 14 , 2008It came out of nowhere

What else could you want in one day... hanging out at the river with some creatures and Lucy, the coolest fucking dog in the world...

AND THEN...

a crazy dance party at the blue lamp. I just remember picking a lot of
people and security asking me to stop or i was going to get kicked out. I blame this on the tequila get together before going out. Newport told me this is going to be a tequilla summer and i fucking believe it.

Tequila is the new Obama.

June 12 , 2008They'll find us dead for this

I was only at the Press Club for an hour, and it was insane so you know that i didn't even capture half of the craziness. The Booty Contest was amazing, someone cal

Tonight is going to be super insane... i am almost scaredto go to the townhouse because i know two things:

1. Fuck Friday was always insane
2. Its Friday the 13th (everyone knows that people die on this day)

Please try not to die

June 11 , 2008Suprise Attack

Skintight was fun, booty shorts tonight and then the epic return of
Fuck Friday. Who will kiss who? who will drink themselve to madness?
who will go home with a woman and realize the next morning that they're
a man?

All this and more Friday Night at the Townhouse in Sacramento

connect to anything

Lipstick was a blast as per expected... many hi-fives and fist pounds
going around. I figure the more high fives you give the more pumped
up the party is going to get. I really want to see at least 10 high fives at Fuck Friday. If I dont see 10 high fives i am probably going to bitch about it to my friends and i know that no one likes bitching.

No one.

June 9 , 2008first rule of biteclub

This night was so insane... stop reading this and go look there was tons of free booze and tons of girls wearing booty shorts and pretty much everyone was having fun and some girl puked on me and we got to sit in this sweet VIP area that really was just a table but they had tons of these packets of Pop Rocks. This makes me wonder if all the hip VIP areas in LA and France and New York have Pop Rocks just waiting for all the big names.

I don't remember how i got home, but i did and i am grateful for that because now I can go to lipstick tonight and have a blast. It's Thomas's last Lipstick in town so come out dressed as him (that means come out dressed like a futuristic cop or a unicorn)

June 5 , 2008fashion for fashion

Somehow i must of overlooked uploading this set in my strained glazy eyes. This is the night of the cold crush kids thing at the momo lounge. I only took photos of the show and of some sort of beverage.

My friends ended up kicking over the candle arrangement for the models
a couple of times. I don't know why they had candles on the floor, but
they did.

June 8, 2008 Major Updates

For the last week I have been moving into my new place and i just got the internet running which means I have a week of catching up and I am putting it all up in one post.

This upcoming week is going to be insane starting off with Lipstick and the return off Fuck Friday.

June 7, 2008

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!

Pistoia! Pistoia!

Lipstick was insane, there was so much bizarre stuff going on. Things to look for in this gallery: Roger eating a burrito, Angelo wrestling a My Buddy and Carlo spitting beer on a small child.
