Appearently, or at least what they keep telling me, we have the year of El Nino right now, what means that there is a huge storm system goin crazy over the pacific and bring us some rainy and windy days and some pretty gnarly waves all over the place. I headed to Arcadia today and went through the streets of LA and I tell you, haha, you need a boat right now! Of course my Toyota-Baby can handle this easly but I've seen some Jeeps out there which were covered up with water higher than the bumper! Boy! Los Angeles is finally sinking, and there are 3 more rainy days to come! Yeeeha, seems like a lot of chaos and anarchy - I love it! I really missed the rain the last couple of weeks, so after waking up today and seeing the rain I felt like: "Oooohhjaaa boy, here we go!"
Actually my last week was really great, not that much to do at work, and the things I had to do turned out to get really really cool! I had to work at a clients office, editing some video footage, nothing special, BUT, the great thing about this client - he develops race car simulators! And of course he has one at his office, absolutely crazy stuff, 3 40" Monitors, real pedals, steering wheel and racing seat - everything attached to a hydraulic system wich shakes your balls like crazy if you sit in there. Pros, like Lewis Hamilton allready have been driving this monster and he sells them to all the sheiks. Chris, the owner, was like: "Ey don, to really understand what the simulator and the videos are all about you better drive your ass off at this thing"...and so I did!
Like today, I've already headed to Arcadia last thursday to meet the dudes of the Nice Guy Tattoo out there, Tom and his gang. A bunch of really lovely and talented guys I commited my feeds to. After a short introduction, Tom got started to hurt me for about two hours, same today, but since we are boys with balls like bulls, we somehow can handle it hahaha! But it was really fun out there, watched some movies beside it and told stories of our lives. But now I have a problem, I always gotta head to LA if I get my next tattoos in the future, cause I'm so happy with these guys and the result, but I guess it's a good excuse to HAVE to spend a couple of days in LA :-)
My weekend was pretty nice too, lots of laying in bed taking care of my foot but also some fun things to do. Friends of Karen came over on Friday, we had a few beers, good food, some booze and a lot of fun games. In the bitter end I started to show em Mäxle, which should turn out to be really fun, seems like everybody enjoyed lying to each other big time:-) So in the end all of the soberness had left the bodies and stumbled out of the house or in bed and I slept like a baby.
The famous NAMM show took place these days in LA. It's one of the biggest, might be even the biggest, Music Exhibition in the world. My buddy Ned, whos buddy is the owner of Kramer Guitars, arranged some VIP tickets for me and him. But after all the chaos, my lost phone and a bunch of misscommunications we didnt make it there together on saturday, which really pissed me off, was really looking forward to that, but yeah, I screwed it uppa, my fault. So I went there on Sunday, Leo, met me there, gave me my pass and showed me around at his booth (with one of the HOTTTEST girls on the entire show:-) and then I made my way through all of the halls, pretty amazing stuff out there, tons of new drums and cymbals, absolutely great! Had a blast back there! Thanks again to Ned and Leo for setting this up for me. Heres a coustom built drumset for the NHL Hall of fame, mindblowing!!! And for all of you fans of Yellowcard you can try to identify the drummer of em here.
Yeah, thats probably it for my weekely update! 5 more weeks left, dang! Really don't wanna go back, but lets enjoy the next couple of weeks like crazy, once my feet are healed I'm gonna rock'n'roll the bones outa me! Can't wait for Wednesday when my buddy Claudio, former inter, from Ulm shows up, gonna be nice nice nice!
Hang in there guys, take care, take it easy!
