we toured the entertainment capital yesterday like we were foreign tourists. i was the tour guide and we made our first stop at roscoes chicken and waffles. its a must go place for everyone in LA. after we made our trek to the grove in the fairfax district. it was raining bad so this sucked because the grove is an outdoor place. the theater was like always sold out so we then got out of there and made our way to the hustler store in west hollywood. that place is a tourist attraction and if has lots of great novelty items in there. it has a built-in cafe and magazine stand and a separate store with naughty stuff. after about an hour in there, we headed down to pinks hot dog stand in melrose and waited in the rain for 30 min. the workers there do this scam where they are cool with the tow truckers and make you think that you should park in areas that are tow away zones. they made a quick 300 hundred bucks yesterday in less than 5 min. we almost got busted but we re-parked. eat the hot dogs there because they are smothered with everything you can imagine.

dont knock on avril just cuz she can kick your butt.

my friends from calpoly went to the show yesterday and it was killer. although i didnt enjoy the first 2 opening bands, GOB and simple plan, watching avril perform last was worth it. i had floor tickets so i got within 10 feet from avril. she had an awesome set and she played all her songs from the CD including covers like knocking on heaven's door, basket case, fuel, and some of her old songs. there were parents there that took their kids and the cool thing is the parents knew the lyrics to the songs. i didnt leave the concert emptyhanded; simple plan threw a pick and it landed right in my palm. avril threw one too, and it bounced right off my hand and went to some small fat kid next to me. that sucked. i have been lucky in getting picks and missing avrils just blows. this wont be the last time i see avril.

rodel invited my brother down this weekend to help him bartend for his party. they bought about $1000 worth of liquor. it was a full bar and you can virtually order and drink that has ever been invented. its crazy. anyways the party was awesome and everybody went including akash, jesson, noah, terrance, jackie, masoud, james, and pricilla. rodel told me to invite anyone i wanted so i did. it was a hawaiian thing so we dressed up hawaiian and jesson, akash, and i unbuttoned our shirts and bared our chests. before our "up to no good" crew got there, the party was full of old people, but once we got there, all hell broke loose. even the brand new bacardi 151 was gone by the end of the night thanks to akash and masoud. they switched peoples drinks when they werent looking. after some time, my brother arm wrestled akash and by the end of the night, old people were arm wrestling with old people, kids were arm wrestling with kids, and we were arm wrestling each other. the party turned out to be an underground arm wrestling ring. dont mess with my brother because he is the undefeated arm wrestling champ since high school. he took me down like nothing. it took him about 3 seconds. after midnight, most of the people left except for me , akash, and jesson and this one old dude. akash called out the old dude for a shot of 151 so he gave in. then the old dude called out akash this time for a shot of 151. akash didnt want to, but he kept bugging him and said that hell even follow the shot with a glass of cognac and a $5 bet. so akash drank that last one. well poor guy, after that we hear him coughing and choking and he sat down on the table with his head down. then after about half an hour we start hearing him gag and hurl and he threw up on the table for the next hour. he was sleeping on his own pile of vomit. his hair, face, etc was drowned in it. akash was thinking thats what he gets for calling him out. its a tradition to go to norms in the middle of the night so me, brother, akash, jesson and rodel went for a run to norms after the party. the next day, rodel told me how the old man slept outside on his truck overnight. haha

movie reviews:

house of 1000 corpses - this movie is reminiscent of 70's horror movies. you get the blood, gore and insane people in one pop. directed by rob zombie, after watching the movie, i can tell this guy is scared of nothing. i can just tell you some of the movie but not all of it because i want you to watch it. it starts out with the legend of a Dr. satan so these people go to investigate the place where he is supposed to live and they meet a weird, hospitable family. the next thing you know, they want to leave the house. but remember, do you think rob zombie would give his audience a happy ending??

summer catch - i heard of this movie after watching punk'd on MTV. it stars the amazingly hot jessica biel and some fag, freddie prinze jr. the movie is about a baseball player who wants to pitch for the major leagues. he plays baseball and at the same time meets jessica biel. jessica's rich family looks down on freddy and doesnt want their daughter dating a poor boy. somehow he gets a deal and she decides to stay with him. this is a generic love flick about a couple with different backgrounds who manage to stay together. im not gonna talk bad about this movie because jessica biel is in it.
