the plane ride alone was crazy, there were these TV sets in the head rests of the seats in front of us that played real time television and even had a crazy GPS map of where we were, how fast we were going and altitude.
ESPN on the plane?! come on now you can never go wrong with ESPN
went to huntington beach pier my 1st day and i got very nostalgic. the memories of taking lunch breaks there and surfing there
so my 1st night there i met up with my friend greg and we decided to go to the popular geisha house on hollywood BLVD for some japanese food. the food had small portions but for some reason it actually filled me up, maybe they used MSG or something. took a few sake bombs. the waitress judy was real cool because she gave us a few free ones because of my birthday. on the way out of the restaurant i heard a familiar voice. it was a voice of an MC. i 1st met this dude in wicker park hustlin his CDs. then i met him at school (columbia college) and talked to him there asked him about his music etc etc. i remember him telling me that he had a final project out in LA. so as i turn my head to see who it is and it was dude from wicker park selling his CDs in LA! what a coincidence. very small world.
the weather in california was amazing averaged about 76 degrees while we were there. very hot!..well compared to chicago weather.
the next few days my friends, brother and i went to all those shops: supreme, the hundreds, diamond supply co, flight club LA, union, stussy, undftd, and proper long beach. all these shops were real cool. didnt real cop much just a few fitteds shirts and kicks. of all the stores my fav spots had to be supreme and proper. so sick
the next few days we drove over to las vegas to see wassup over there, maybe say whats up to my old friends, meet up my dad and possibly lose a lot of money gambling. the drive there wasnt too bad. few hours.
when we got there i met up with a few of my friends to catch up.
while on this vacation we went to eat at this spot called in n out? i dunno if you know it but its the shit! if you dont know then youll know one day.
the drive back to LA was pretty amazing, i averaged a good 90-95 MPH. i felt like jeff gordon or jimmie johnson. i love driving that west coast freeway. very fast paced and drivers actually know what to do.
on our last night there my friend wanted to hit up a tattoo spot to get a tat and we went to this famous one in hollywood hills called shamrock social club. real elegant and old school feel. they had a pool table which was pretty cool. i really wanted to get another tattoo but i was iffy about it. we hit up LA ink to see wassup with kat von d but she wasnt there. maybe she'll show up next time i call her ;)
on our flight back we had a stop over in denver and my brother told me about this good spot to eat at because he ate there before on his long stop over. the food was amazing! SMOTHERED FRIES!! LAMB STEAK AND CHICKEN! LETTUCE WRAPPED IN GORGONZOLA AND SOMETHING ELSE!
while in LA i saw this dope ass quote that someone wrote on the wall..pretty creepy but cool.
there was only 1 thing i regret. not surfing..if i had surfed it would have made my vacation 10 TIMES better. but we cant have everything right? instead of surfing i drew this out. i know im not the greatest artist but yall need to see my skills on this ipod touch isketch!
farewell california/las vegas =[ until next time
