Sunset So Cal hosts a kick ass Cruise Night!

 I don't go to as many cruise nights as I used to and I can certainly say that after tonight, that really needs to change. One of the local Sunset chapters here in So Cal hosted a cruise night in Ontario, CA. No Regrets rolled out deep and I can honestly say we had a hell of a good time. It was hard to imagine that they've been hosting it for two years and we've only been twice as a group. I know a few of us have showed up on occasion but never in force.

The cruise night tonight had really good numbers and a very well behaved crowd. Nothing crazy. The atmosphere was great. No police harassment and it was at a Round Table Pizza so the brews were flowing.

I look forward to going to the next one and who knows, maybe NR So Cal will host one soon! Keep your fingers crossed.

Today I learned....

Today I learned about the Lions Mane Jellyfish. It's basically a big as "NOPE!" It's the worlds largest jellyfish and they're prehistoric. These things have been around since the dinosaur age and they creep me the hell out. Reason number 182 why I will never go in the ocean. (not that I can even swim)

 Of course they're not all as big as a VW beetle, but too many of them are. So GFY you big ass Jelly fish, GFY!!!

Yokohama, Japan Mooneyes Show 2011

FOR COMPLETE COVERAGE CLICK HERE

This last December, my buddy Brent Vann and I decided to hit up the Mooneyes show in Japan again. We'd been the previous year, but we had heard good things about this years event because it was the 20th anniversary. We stayed in Yokohama at the Bay Breeze Hotel and Spa, which was very nice. A definite step up from the years we went with Mini Truckin' and Lowlife Video. (Don't stay at the Toyoko Inn)

What I can tell you about the trip is that it had a lot more partying than usual, and we didn't even have to venture in to Tokyo to do it. This time we tore it up in the local Yokohama hot spots. The NR boys and some friends from Mooneyes (Yuko) partied pretty much every night that we could. Sleep was not an option!

I did of course spend some time at the show and at The Moon Eyes Cafe. The show from my understanding was slightly bigger than last year, and had a slightly different set up. I definitely saw many more lowriders than the previous year, and some high quality Mini Trucks, which of course is the main reason I attend.

At this years event Toyo Asada from No Regrets Japan debut his Green Toyota with some new additions. The truck looked amazing and was a great representative for NRFEC as they like to be called. (No Regrets Far East Coast)

I look forward to going back to Japan next year and who knows, maybe this time, I'll have my truck with me. Wish me luck!

Draggin The Alley 2011

CLICK HERE FOR THE COMPLETE SHOW COVERAGE!

This last weekend I had the opportunity to fly down to south Florida and cover a small show called Draggin The Alley. I was expecting to have a few beers, watch some bowling and enjoy some Florida sun. Boy, was a wrong!!! It would turn out to be non-stop partying till the sun came up everynight!

To start off the first night, we hit it hard right away. First we went to a local Hooters where the Florida boys are regulars. After a few pitchers and some wings, we headed off to a cool bar in Del Rey. It was just like Cheers everybody knew my crew by name, and it was a nice little setting to drink and people watch. Nate even bought me a rose! At 2am the bar closed down, but the night was only starting. We ended up at some dive bar, I can't even remember what it was called; Mugs' or something, and this place was a riot. Some of the dancing I witnessed here will scar me for life.

The following day was the show and it didn't start until noon, which I was very thankful for after the previous night. Roll-in started promptly at noon and the show was for two hours. Right after that everybody went inside to bowl. The bowling was fun, lots of humping (don't ask) lots of drinking and a hole lot of shenanigans! I was also very surprised to find the RA guys in full gear and also very surprised when they didn't place lol. But they had a blast from what I could see.

Following the games everybody head outside for the top ten presentation, which was then followed by a trip to hooters for the Bowling trophy presentation which was won by Aftermath. (It Don't Stop guys) lol. What happened the rest of the night, I can't even talk about. It's one of those things where you really had to be there to see it, after all; "What happens at Draggin the Alley, stays at Draggin the Alley!"
