I'm not even supposed to be here today!

So steph and I packed up the honda mobile and headed to UCLA. After picking our good buddy Ryan we headed over to Westwood for the grand opening of Jay & Silent Bobs Secret Stash West Coast. The line was FUCKING long. Super duper long....NINE HOURS LONG! THANKS KEVIN! It wasnt too bad at first, but the last 4 hours were terrible. We didnt move in the line for almost 2 hours. We got there at 4pm, we didnt get out till after 1:30am. I totally appreciate the guys who were there staying late. I just wish they would have let us get more stuff signed, but I understand thats what was slowing down the line.

What I picked up:
Nails Zippo
Signed B&W Silent Bob Figure
Signed Color Jay Figure
Viewaskew Snoogins T-shirt (For Steph)
Jersey Girl DVD
Clerks X DVD
Renee Mallrats Figure
Jay Mallrats Figure
Silent Bob Darknight Mallrats Figure

Kevin, Jay, Brian, & Marilyn all stuck around to sign. Much love to those guys. Don't know what happened to Anderson & Mosier, but still love to them.

Kevin wrote some awesome comments on our DVD's "Shaun + Steph, Now you can't split up." "Shaun + Steph, Watch it naked!" Jay wrote snootch & nootch on mallrats and clerks X. They rock.

The San Fran Treat

Hello boys and girls. Not that anyone really reads this. Steph and I took suprise vacation this weekend. We jumped in the car and just drove. We had no predetermined plans, we just went. We ended up going up north to Chumash Indian Casino...Incase you don't know, Chumash in Native American means, "Take Stupid White Mans Money." Now it looks like a normal casino on the inside...slot machines, and tables but its not. Every blackjack table was at least $10 minimum...wtf is that? Is my last name Trump? So no blackjack for Shaun. Instead its CRAPS. Ooooh. I like craps. I learned last winter with Stephs family up in Tahoe. Now I'm expecting good old fashioned craps...fuck that, this is Indian Casino country. Instead of dice...they had two sets of cards with pictures of Dice on them. They would put them into shufflers and then pull the top 2 cards....ghey.

Anyway. Chumash was a wash, we lost about $60 between us. So we decide to head north more. We ended up in Monterey. Yeah funny, did we mention its Labor Day weekend...no rooms. Not a single room in Monterey was open...so we decided to head north. We hit half moon bay and just decided...hell San Francisco was only 90 miles north, lets push on. We ended up in Daly City about 5 minutes south of Downtown San Fran. Awesome. I'd only been there once before and it was a drive though at night. So I had never seen Fishermans Warf or Alcatraz...lots of fun.

Anyway. I'm back home now and I've got to take the Honda in cause the breaks are way fucked. We hit the brakes, the wheel shakes like an epileptic rabbit with the hickups. On a side note, thank god for my ipod...that thing was a life saver. I picked up the iCar adapter by monster and it made for one excellent drive.

Back in Black

Okay so, I've been away for a few days. I just havent had time to post. Work is as hektik as ever, today I got a lovely visit from my LP (Loss Prevention) Guy. Yeah tons of fun. Ya know what sucked, the VMA's. They were flat out gay. First off, and yes I got reminded every 20 seconds thanks to Steph...There was no host. What the fuck, where's the host? Shouldnt some has-been comedian or some actor be up there telling jokes about J-Lo's ass or Eminem and X-Tina. So no host...second, the stages sucked balls. 3 random stages with a bunch of south beach mo's standing around trying to dance to hip hop. And that brings me to my biggest complaint of the night...since when did MTV become BET. I mean hell, I like rap about as much as the next white guy, but hey, maybe we could schedule some ROCK performers. I'm not talking about the gay ass 3 minute rock trio of JET, Yellowcard and Hoobastank. And dear god if you missed Hoobastanks perfomance you were saved from the worst rendition of "The Reason" EVER! They each played maybe 60 seconds of their "hit" (I used that term loosely) and then the next band went on. That was it, the rest was a bunch of used up rappers, or no bodies trying to make it big. Where's the big bands, wheres the GNR, Bon Jovi, Aerosmith, KISS,...hell i'd even settle for that fucking limp bizkit reunion they've been talking about.

And what a waste of Dave Chapelles talent. Why not use him as host, or actually have him do some comedy. Instead he stands around and talks for 20 seconds and thats it. FUCK that shit, where's my Rick James, Wheres Prince? FEW, now I feel better. I just cant believe MTV would insult our intelligence this way.
