see ya L.Ater

yesterday we went to the strip in hollywood with all the stars on the ground..it was a wild scene..christina aguilera was there filming a commercial on the street and she is hot.. im not much for celebrities but i took some pictures of things that were either funny or made me think of someone..i saw marilyn monroes star and took a pic because it reminded me of my mom for some reason.. and debbies cousin dee snider had her picture taken with her all time favorite band motley crue.. michael jacksons star had flowers all over it.. and i didnt care about any of them so i took my picture with the olson twins

then we picked up the girls and went swimming in the pool and it was sweet

off to vegas now to ride bikes with chad and maybe go check out steel panther tomorrow night.. debbies family rules im gonna miss emma

hollywood

today i met up with nick ferreira.. hes the dude that makes the hole shot zine that is oh so awesome.. hes also the man behind InTheGnar. wich is a great website if you ask me.. check out in the gnar for an interview that he just did with steve crandall..awesomeness.. i dont know if you heard but country springs won again :)

i met up with nick this morning and we went and rode a wall ride in los angeles.. it was fun and there was a palm tree sticking out in the middle of it that you could ride around.. and then we got awesome burritos and then we hung out with squanto.. it was a good day.. i left there and went to the santa clarita skatepark.. oh my god that is the craziest skatepark i have ever seen.. all i could think about when i sat there staring at it was lino g, webster jake, and dan mcmahon.. those 3 people would have had a field day at that place.. dan you would have loved it.. this picture is only a little piece of the park you should have seen the rest.. heaven

steel panther

last night was ridiculous.. chuck had always told me about this band that played in hollywood that he went and saw with jes a few years back. STEEL PANTHER..they are an 80's cover band/comedy act.
last night around 10 debbie, her cousin sally, and myself decided to drive to hollywood to see them. they were deffinitly even better than i could have imagined.. if your ever in hollywood look them up. they play every monday night at midnight.. debbie and sally got dressed up in 80's gear and crimped theyre hair.. they looked like legit steel panther groupies ..sally looked like dee snider


steel panther is awesome.. i video taped them playing the poison song "dont need nothing but a good time" because mulville always sings that when we go sing karaoke.. fun times





at one point the guitarist did the craziest 80's guitar solo i have ever seen.....while playing the drums

current location

this is where we are now on the map and this is the route that we have traveled so far

santa claritaaaaa

yosemite nat'l park, santa clarita

we went to yosemite national park yesterday and it was quite a treat.. we left the skatepark on monday and went east through the napa valley.. there was crazy huge houses surrounded by fields of grapes and winery's. it was gorgeous out there. i saw those fields with all those giant wind mills in them too.. the ones you always see in movies. i always wondered where those things were . there was so many of them

we stopped and slept in a parking lot and i woke up early and drove the rest of the way to the park. we got there early and it was such a nice day out. i didnt know that debbie had never been hiking before and i felt kinda bad because i took her on a 7 mile steep hike to the top of the giant waterfall in jeans and shitty shoes with no water.. i thought she was gonna die when we got close to the top so i made her go back down.. it was beautiful up there though and it was a really nice hike but we were hiking for like 6 hrs..

after the hike we went swimming in the pool there and took showers and got some ice cream and we headed out to santa clarita, wich is just north of Los Angeles. we stopped last night and again this morning had the best continental breakfast ever at some hotel..soooo good.. and this morning we got to debbies cousins house and we are hanging out here in the air conditioning relaxing.. the neighborhood is really nice. CALI LIVIN BRAH!
