Ben’s 25th Birthday!

PRdotC — Sun, 17 Aug 2008 20:12:24 +0000

Benjammin turned 25 and we celebrated in style with a 12 hour drink-a-thon which included drinking games, listening to dance music, coked out weirdos who like to steal sweaters, lesbian trannies and Double Dutch. Any time lesbian trannies are involved it’s going to be a good night because your guaranteed at least one good story next morning. Last night at Delirium this crazy ~~guy~~ started dancing in fishnet stockings and a really short skirt. Dana went up to him and asked if she’d would do something crazy for Ben as it was his birthday. She replied “I’m a lesbian, I don’t do guys!”

Got an iPhone 3G

PRdotC — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 23:20:02 +0000

I lost my phone while in NYC this week for work. One of my new suits had a hole in the pocket and the phone just slipped out, so time to upgrade!

I went to the Apple Cube store on Fifth Ave this morning at 5am to get a voucher. My voucher was for 7 and I showed up early (first in line). By 7:05 I had my new iPhone 3G, the 16gig white model.

It’s sweet. I already love it. Time to mend some pants.

The first night in the city we spent working on our joweling skills and then headed out to the mission stopping by Delirium & Casanova with Davy.

A little hungover the next day, we started Scott’s bachelor party in style with breakfast at Mama’s. About half way through our wait in the long line of tourists, we had a San Francisco star sighting when Kate Hudson & Lance Armstrong got out of a cab to wait in line as well. It didn’t take them very long to realize the wait was like an hour and a half, so they took off, but it was still crazy to see them.

After breakfast we began the party with indoor skydiving at iFly. Ended up flying for a total of 2 minutes, going about 100 MPH and falling a total of 1.6 miles. Watch the video below to the tune of Pogo by Digitalism.

Geeked up on the high of flying we headed back to the city and walked up Embarcadero over to Pier 39, the wharf and then started drinking on my roof. Davy, Jeff, Amy, Sonya, Chrissy, Kellen and Sean came over and Scott started taking his first shots. It wasn’t long before we were buzzed and off to La Rocca’s. A jager shot and a beer later we we’re off too Maggie McGarrys where everyone started dancing. The jager shots kept coming and Scott kept making funnier and funnier faces.

The next day we got all the tourist stuff done like walking up Lombard, seeing Ghirardelli Square and the Golden Gate. We all forgot to wear sunscreen and ended up paying for it the next couple days with blisters.

Muxtape to the rescue

PRdotC — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 16:31:11 +0000

My latest, greatest stumble has been Muxtape and it’s an awesome site for a slow day at work. It’s premise is around trading CD mixes like we used to do back in the day, but instead of burning the mix to a disk, it’s all on the web. At first glance, I’m impressed how easily it is to discover new music by listening to other’s mixes. It’s very easy to click into a random playlist and find several songs you’ve never heard of before and really find you enjoy them. I think since the site is new (launched 4/25/2008), a lot of early adopters have jumped on it really posting quality music. I’m finding lts of Justice, Ratatat, MGMT & Hot Chip. Check it out on your own, but for now this is replacing my iTunes shuffle playlist.

Jowling “R” Us, a collection of Jowlers!

PRdotC — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 01:41:34 +0000

The last couple weeks we’ve been jowling at bars, parties, in the spa at my parent’s house and we’ve created a really nice collection of some quality Jowlers. The spa pictures may be the best, because those are what we call full extension jowlers!

Hiking through Muir Woods

PRdotC — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 23:15:59 +0000

Ben, Jess, Thief and myself went to Muir Woods to check out the majestic redwoods. There’s a wooden boardwalk that extends through the park as the main trail, but we took the Hillside Trail first. We went hiking out of bounds and climbed up a fallen tree that reminded me of a toboggan ride. Then Thief decided he could beat us all back to the visitor’s center by running the Ocean View Trail (2.5 miles) while we walked the main trail back (.7 miles). We had to wait like 15 minutes while he caught up and appeared shirtless. Ha.

PRdotC — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 01:07:04 +0000

Thief’s rap was the shit, but along with the surprise, we celebrated the arrival of thief and Sonya with a trip up to the headlands, a stop over at JD’s new apartment and drinking punch at Hobson’s Choice.

Who wants tacos?

The Thief makes a living in this city by selling art and tacos. The rest of us just get by.

We broke in JD’s new place with a house party during the Haight-Ashbury Street Fair. It was my first time to this and it was a lot of fun with DJs on one end, bands on the other. We happened to see this drag queen band singing Jefferson Airplane which was a trip.

Breaking in Mike A’s new bike

PRdotC — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 01:23:53 +0000

Mike A got a new ride and we took it out to Golden Gate to break it in. On the way we ran into these sweet mini boats going Spreckels Lake.
