Punk Rock Bowling 9 Postmortem . . .

Tuesday, January 30th, 2007

Drinking, gambling, music, and something called bowling

One of the official banners hung in the bowling alley.
I arrived in Las Vegas Friday morning at around 8 AM. That is too damn early. A quick cab ride to our hosting casino, Sam’s Town, on the Boulder Strip and I was ready for some breakfast. [...]

Sunday, January 28th, 2007

Just some stuff I wanted to throw out there.
Robert Williams and Ed Newton are are good story tellers. I went to the Rat Fink Retrospective on Friday and dragged Serge along. I didn’t think he’d dig it, but it turns out he did. It helps when the stories are good and you [...]

Bass Pro Shops LAS VEGAS ! ! !

Wednesday, January 24th, 2007

Don’t let the name fool you, they sell TONS of non fishing items.
The priority for this weekend was of course the 9th Annual Punk Rock Bowling Tournament (PRB9), but on the plane ride over I remembered they had built a Flagship Bass Pro Shop (BPS) in Sin City at some point. I had no [...]

Reading is fun! Or that’s what I’ve been told.
Last year you may or, more than likely, may not remember the post I wrote titled “Books I’d Like to Read This Year . . .” Feel free to look at the staggering list of 3 books I was going to try and read in [...]

El Carpintero AND The Jalopy Special . . .

Monday, January 15th, 2007

Great Mexican food nestled, even hidden, in Burbank
A while back Coop blogged about The Jalopy Special at El Carpintero over at his blog. The photo in that post has been stuck in the frontal lobe of my brain ever since. I love good food and The Jalopy Special looked absolutely scrumptious. When [...]

Sony VCR Thinks The World Has Ended . . .

Friday, January 12th, 2007

Well at least my Sony VCR does
Today I bought a new DVD player and hooked it up through my Sony VCR.  As you may have guessed by that statement I’m not a big Audio/Video guy.  I hadn’t used the VCR in some time (Yes Avo, it’s the one you gave me way back in the [...]

. . . and I have it bad
Last time I went to Japan it wasn’t so bad, or at least I don’t remember it being this bad. I’m guessing it’s because it was a shorter trip, so my body didn’t get fully adjusted to Japan. For whatever reason it always seems worse coming [...]

Sayounara Tokyo
This day brings an end to our trip but at the same time a new beginning. I met some fantastic people on the this trip, people I will know forever. I can’t thank Moto enough for letting this gaijin stranger in to his home for eleven days and showing me his great [...]

We started our day off in quest of the Harajuku area to see the teens who dress up in a variety of strange-tacular get ups. Being New Year’s Eve day there weren’t as many people as we had hoped, but there were enough to get our fix.

A couple of the [...]
