yup….
the weekend wrap up is here again and I was all over the place this weekend!
I got it in at the shop….. ran around getting ready for the evening and also had to put out some fires…..

then my man Felix the Housecat got in town for a special party he had to DJ and to get his new watch! Felix tours like 300+ days out of the year, no joke…. only person who I know that travels more is Steve Aoki and they both need to slow they asses down!

Felix is truly a real OG in the music game and is a helluva DJ! well his birthday passed last week, so it’s only right that he got a nice Black Diamond casio G-Shock! Once that heavy black gold piece hit his wrist, he was sprung!

thank you Felix, enjoy! much love to you and your beautiful family!

got home and tried to take a quick 45 minute nap before I had to shake with Nic and Apolo and Ally to get to La Vida for Nic’s LolliMe bikini fashion show!

We shot over there early…. like 10:30ish and there was a line outside… good to see some familiar faces at the door, security guard wise and doorman wise…. I don’t get out much no matter what anyone thinks.

Nic got her show organized early and I chopped it up with some homey’s including my boy DJ 5 Star.

La Vida actually holds up to 1,000 people, but in 3 parts…. the place got very packed around 11:15 and the fashion show didn’t start until around 11:45 and they cleared out the VIP patio area and put up a runway for the show….

thank god this area wasn’t crazy packed like the front of the stage area… this was Nic’s table.

I think I was staring at Nic

the only asian girl in the show… why? I don’t know lol

look at Apolo’s face! haha

I forgot to mention that I couldn’t take pics because I HAD TO MC THE SHOW! smh haha…. I did okay I guess, so I asked Nic’s brother to take pics if he could, he is Nic’s partner in the company!
I was surprised to see so many cameras, no not cell phone cams or point and shoots but SLR’s and shit…

some of the girls from the show with Nic….

IF YOU WANT TO SEE SOME MUCH BETTER PICS OF THE SHOW AND THE BIKINIS/GIRLS THEN PLEASE CLICK HERE!

La Vida was packed and the dance floor was packed… funny how the table next to us was a customer of mine and the other table was a few Clippers bench players table…..

me making fun of Apolo for wearing his Omega…. but really he’s making fun of me because he’s endorsed and getting paid for wearing a fine timepiece lol

Jade Ashley was in the house, Capo was in the house, crooks were in house….. even my fam fam Baron Davis(ACTUAL NBA CLIPPERS STAR, not bench warmer) was in the place…. it was a good time
they comped us a bottle for the show and then I copped another bottle, but didn’t OD!

shook to the house around 1:45am and made a stop at jack in the box for finger foods! haha

we got home safe!

SAT
__________________________________________________________________________

woke up to a text from my lil homey Travie McCoy who was in town to perform the Sunset Strip Music Festival with Smashing Pumpkins and Kid Cudi….

I got tickets, but thought the show was at night time, it was during the day and way too crazy packed and I’m not fond of places that have Port a Pottys. #NO

so I rolled by Travie’s hotel to chop it up and talk shit early on….. met up with my homey Truth too for a second…

then went back to the trap to grab Nic for some lunch at the grove
I haven’t had an actual steak in almost 8 months! so I ordered one….
got our favorite vanilla latte’s and then shopped around for a day bed for my 2nd bedroom….
(BTW, MY DINING TABLE IS FOR SALE! BARELY USED! DIRT CHEAP!)

Saturday Afternoon was also a get together for my brother DJ AM at Travis Barker’s shop “The Fast Life”
I just paid my respects by talking to his fam and Homicide about it, neither me or homicide showed up and It’s hard enough to still believe that our bro is gone…… I drove by and seen the homey Kev E Kev outside and hit him via text to let him know it’s all love always….

went back home to watch a couple bad DVD’s…..

Nic made me some dinner…. then I shot over to Travie’s hotel to get it in at Colony for the after party to the SSMF….
while Trav was getting ready, I went up to Dejesus and Mano’s room and Mano is the human roledex/catalog for vintage Louis Vuitton and vintage shades….. me and mano got a lot of mutual friends and talked shit about Cazals to everything for a good 20 minutes…. he hurt my feelings with some vintage Chanel shades….
I hurt his with other shit lol

I threw on the Cazal 858’s but these are the retro version with the collab with Swagger….

but peep game on these ridiculously ill Versace shades…

anyways….
we’re late to the club/show (no way?)
and so we tell the driver that he needs to put the pedal to the metal!
bad move rap dudes….. THIS DRIVER SPAZZED OUT AND WENT APE SHIT! He drove the limo like a getaway driver on a heist or like the limo in True Lies was being driven…. this was a stretch limo too! smh….
no joke, we were on the opposite side of traffic and everything! jesus. even deJESUS lol

we got there safe though…
ran in there deep too!

as soon as we walked inside it was packed waaaaa worse than La Vida was, but I mean like DAMN!
and I tried to take a pic of the crowd, but I couldn’t keep my hand straight!

but once we got to our roped off area, we were straight for a sec!

2 bottles of Goose and some brews for only an hour appearance? I’m not fucking mad at you TRAV!

speaking of fresh vintage sunglasses…. WOW! OG snakeskin Emmanuel Khan joints!
if you had these in the late 80’s you were doing too much! actually three much!

the homey Blake! (used to be with karmaloop) showed up and partied with us!

fellow #teamscumbag member and one of the illest professional photographers I know (dead ass serious) QUANG!

so after kickin it for 20 minutes… IT WAS SHOWTIME!
Travie owned the audience from jump!
he did a couple songs off his nappy boy mixtape and album….
then went into a dope ass intro!
he said, if you got $20 in your pocket, wave your hands up in the air, if you got $100 in your pocket, wave your hands up in the air! then he said if you got $500 in your hands, put your motherfuckin hands up!!!

then DJ MANO threw on the classic by Barrett Strong “Money” (that’s what I want)
you know it goes like…. “the best things in life are free…..”

and then went right into his smash hit Billionaire and the place went ape shit!

at the end of Billionaire, Trav had Mano run the hook back again….
then let the audience sing it in acapella….

here’s video snippets of Travie performing Billionaire and then the crowds acapella….

PART 1 OF BILLIONAIRE…

PART 2 THE CROWD ACAPELLA

so then after Trav finished his set, we kicked it a lil bit more… the club promoters brought out 2 bottles of champagne and we sipped bubbly and shook….
the crazy limo driver was outside and we told him WE’RE IN NO RUSH TO GET BACK TO THE HOTEL! lol….
before we ALL got in to the limo, Dejesus made sure he grabbed 4 of the ugliest women he could find possible…. smh…. and to make things worse, he copped 1 of those hot dogs wrapped in bacon made out of Teradactyl meat! but real talk, I think the Hot Dog looked better than the swiss bust downs he scooped smh

this fool trying to hide the hot dog (no homo, but I rather it be yes homo)

too much goose? too much champagne? or time for a new camera?

don’t let that smile fool you! Quang got tricks up his sleeve! haha

so we got back to the telly safely…
I had a great time, but wanted to head home because I missed Nic…

so we snapped a group shot of the homey’s!

SUN
__________________________________________________________________________

woke up early and chopped it up with my mom and fam and caught up to speed on things….

SAD DAY! DJ AM’s cat who was with him during his toughest times from during the addiction to drugs to his sobriety to his final resting…. well Mugsy died recently…. so at 11am where Adam is buried is right where they were burying Mugsy.

RIP MUGSY GOLDSTEIN

again, I just don’t know what it is, but I couldn’t show and see anymore of it…. just fucks me up so crazy. I just want my boy to rest….. flame and say whatever the fuck you want(for the idiots who ain’t been there early on) but selling t-shirts with surrender on the side of it? shits is disgusting…. heard they made over a quarter mill that night in vegas hmmm? rumors….

then waited for Apolo and his friend to pick me and Nic up for a beautiful brunch at the Mondrian…. Asia De Cuba

we got there and it was nice outside…..
the food is always delicious there, I suggest anytime of the day!
we ordered 6 entree’s for 2 guys and 2 small girls!
and 2 very large appetizers and a fruit platter…..

their world famous Calamari Salad (the dressing the bananas make this joint!)

the mango’s were insanely ripe! soooo good…..

(cue Nate dogg from “Next Episode” song “HOLD UP! WAAAAAIITTTTTT!!!)

now this worm was break dancing on the piece of mango! I mean, smh…. good thing we’re cool because this was just fucked up! while walking inside, people left and right were like hey you’re apolo ohno! you’re an awesome ice skater! you’re great! hey great smile! hey you wanna bang my wife?(joking)
and they treat us like this? damn….
at a 5 star restaurant?

anyways…. the manager came over, comped the dish and brought out another…. by this time we’re all almost full except for Apolo….

the main courses of our brunch come and man….
the girls each got smoked salmon with bagels and cream cheese platters which were amazing….

I got a three egg white omelette with gouda cheese and mushrooms…. and potatoes and english muffin… (not shown)

Apolo got the Huevo’s Ranchero’s (not shown lol) which was outstanding!
and the special breakfast enchiladas….

the food was excellent, but the girls were freaked out over the worm dancing with the stars(literally)

so we headed out and shook in the maserati to magnolia!
YES AS IF WE WEREN’T FOOD COMA’D ENOUGH!
OUR FAT ASSES WENT TO MAGNOLIA AND GOT IT IN!!!!!

smh….
shit was soo good… we got a dozen cup cakes, a couple cookies and some brownies…. smh….
from coconut to red velvet to double chocolate to vanila to banana, to just gluten extra fuckery!

so we went back to my house and murked the desserts…
we finished all of them except for 4! (brought home Nic’s parents a few and my mom 1 red velvet)

Apolo had to shake and we had to go visit my pops as he’s finally having surgery tomorrow to get that bumba clot tumor out of him! (THANK GOD! I pray for it to be a successful surgery!)

as we got to his hospital room, my step brother was giving him a manicure, which is good! but I don’t see why my female cousin or mom wasn’t doing it? lol…. all good…. gave my mom the red velvet cake and hung out for a little bit… she was in a very good mood, so that made me very happy since she hasn’t been eating really and both of them have lost a lot of weight! NOT ME because I’m a fat pig!

we left the hospital to let pops rest and shook over to glendale…. it’s been a few weeks since I’ve visited Nic’s family…. so I was hyped because Nic’s mom always cooks me the best food!

we hit up the glendale galleria for a quick second to grab some shit from bath and body works…. some nice scent refills for our diffuser…

then it was kill myself with pop my belly time with the chicken adobo!

chopped it up with Nic’s fam for a couple hours….

then headed back home for some TRUE BLOOD!!!
damn last nights episode was gooooooddddd!
DAMN SO SAD THE LAST EPISODE IN COMING UP! ONLY 1 EPISODE LEFT! SUCKS!
well we got NFL! #RAIDERS!

watched Entourage and it sucked! surprise! it’s really been bad, but last season was worse…

so anyways…
I got a lot of work to do and a watch to deliver!
tomorrow we are CLOSED! and I’m taking my twin nieces to an amusement park and also shooting a special cameo for Far East Movement’s new music video for their 2nd single…. AT 7AM IN THE MORNING!

fuck my life!

and then after the entire day at an amusement park, I have to shoot back over to Hollywood for the premiere of my TV show “The Clinic” which I’m co-starring in a couple episodes…..

back on the grind!
much love!

ALWAYS PEACE!

so I said I’d be on my diet…. so for lunch friday me and my boo walked over to Vegan Glory…
MAN! shit gets better and better!
no joke, the food there is amazing and what’s best is that my girl is so fucking unselfish it drives me insane because everytime we go out to eat, she orders something I can eat or I’d like over what she really wants. pisses me off because I sometimes want to order a chicken or beef dish…. but I’d stalled out on red meat for while… in fact, it’s pretty much chicken and fish for now… but Vegan Glory has a great menu and my girl can have anything on it.

(click images to enlarge)



the steamed veggie dumplings were very good… but the Vegan Beef Burrito was insane amazing! tasted as good as kogi truck, but without the BG’s! and the steak sandwich? jesus…. shit was so flavorful! damn! and they deliver! I’ll be coming back for 3rds and 100ths!

also just opened down the street from me is the famous New York Bakery; Magnolia!
man I have driven past it for a week, but didn’t know what the deal was… I know the one in NYC is no joke and there’s always lines, but we had to peek in and check it out
THANK GOD FOR THE HOMEY ADAM(STUSSY) WHO WAS THERE 3RD IN LINE! BECAUSE IT WAS A 20+ MINUTE WAIT… WAIT? I’m on a diet! hahaaha… fuck that, gotta cheat! just a lil bit!(no lykke le)







the cupcakes are better than Joans on 3rd…. as good as Sprinkles and better in someways… but they have much more to offer with the cakes, pies, brownies, etc… overall it gets 4 thumbs up from me and nic.

so later that night, had a pescatarian meal at Mishima… ran into the Crooks fam there….
and then we decided to stay in and watch 2 horrible movies back to back…
“Remember Me” and “Cop Out” shaking my fucking head.
let’s not even go into reviews! just wow! both get a legit 1 out of 10 (why did I watch Remember Me? fuck outta here, why do you think? because I’m on team edward?)

__________________________________________________________________________________
SATURDAY aka Caturday lol jk

so we woke up, ate home made veggie breakfast and then got ready to hit the LBC to hit my homey Slep’s Baby Shower….. amazing, this is my guy for 15+ years…. but as we get older, you just keep in touch with some of your close friends only facebook or at family events and the last time I seen Slep was at AM’s funeral…. we all were pretty tight fam. WELL CONGRATS BRO! you’re gonna be a dad and damn! it’s a boy! smh at all the jokes going on at this thing… 1st off the party was at 1pm…. we left the crib at 12 and got there on time…. shit didn’t start til like 2:40! and btw, Slep in the general manger of Spearmint Rhino, so you already know hahhaahahahaha jesus!
1 table was all strippers…. 20+ deep lol & smh….
it was interesting, but I don’t give 2 shits really about what was going on in the background, our table was the fam fam… it’s cool that babies r us have an online registry because it saves time from having to stop there and wanting to buy 10 cases of flush-able baby wipes lol
anyways, wokcano started up down the street from my crib… shout out to my homey Teanna who used to work there back 5+ years ago…. this one in Long Beach is real real nice!

I’m gonna sound real fucked up…. BUT WOW SLEP YOU HAD AN ASSIGNED MENU???? hahahahahaa god damn! I’m impressed bro! I was expecting colt 45 tall cans and bbq at your crib for this shit! APPLAUDS!
BUT YO! the food was crazy good! the sea bass was ignorant!

I REMEMBER SEEING THIS THE DAY BEFORE AM’S FUNERAL…. RIP

now you already know homicide ain’t stopping at no babies r us or even target to get his brother a gift smh… he literally walked up and said “awww yeahhh” go buy your son some shit lolololol. (yes that’s really the gift)

was good to see Slep and his homey’s…. haven’t seen them since Homicide’s pops funeral.

speaking of parents…. homicides sister ASH is a mom! congrats again, so good to see you sis

so after Homicide had to shake to las vegas to do his residency at JET…. I had to shake to do not a damn thing!
we went did some lightweight shopping at the beverly center… shit was boring
went back to the crib and peeped out this movie called “RELIGULOUS” by Bill Maher mocking religion and the so called science behind it…. and WOW this shit was interesting, it was really funny too…. some people, I mean MOST people are very very sensitive when it comes to religion…. I mean they get way the fuck bent out of shape if you test their religious beliefs… Bill Maher didn’t just test fools, but he went there repeatedly… but in a smart way.
We appreciated the film, but you gotta watch it for yourself…. I mean, I believe in god and I believe ALL and EVERY religion are under 1 god… anyways, it’ll open your eyes if you’re open minded enough. who wrote the bible anyways? WHO? don’t be dumb….
also, I got a book as a gift a while ago called “God is Not Great” and when I get a chance to take some ADD medicine, then I’ll focus on that, but I’m sure it’ll be crazy….

so we had a little bit of cabin fever and haven’t been out in LA to a bar in a few months easy…. so we decided to get out of the house and hit up Cecconi’s…. when I saw the Bugatti Veyron in front I already knew it was gonna be a thirst fest lol…. we had a vegetarian meal again….. chopped salad, mushroom risotto, buffalo mozzarella pizza and the shit was delicious! THANK YOU CHRIS KIM FOR THE VIP TREATMENT ALWAYS!
we had some Rose’…. it was nice and we caught laughs at the countless amount of cougars with fake boobs inside trying to catch a paycheck… oh well….

so after Cecconi’s… we headed over to Boudoir (the old coco deville) and wanted to meet up with my homegirl Allison and see how she’s dealing with her partner Lindsay being locked up…. anyways, the music was good, chilled out and threw down some patron and belve….. didn’t stay til the end of the night, but I was on 1, matter of fact, I was on 2…. so we had to head home

SUNDAY….

went to dupars for breakfast…. decided to finally have meat and got the chicken sausage and it was terrible…. BUT, the flap jacks there are the best on the planet (and if you go there, you’ll see they got their food channel episode on where they’re voted the best pancakes in the USA on repeat)

then we hit the Americana and Glendale Galleria so I could find some Tank Tops and get ready for a few trips and shit coming up….. spent literally 4 hours shopping to only come out with some basic shit, but a few pairs of dope shorts…. I’m off the baggy, long shorts (and I can’t believe it!)…. headed over to pasadena and copped some more shit from American Apparel and then we hit Noodle World for some dinner….. shit was great, headed over to Trader Joes to get some Trek Mix and then shot over to Homicide’s crib to watch TRUE BLOOD on his huge 3-D LED TV…. what a great episode….

I drove back to the trap and did some work and finally got my place in order….
gotta find a handy man to install my shelves in the auxiliary room and might add some more recessed lighting…. the bathroom is done! 1 more, well 1/2 a bathroom left!
anyone know a good handy man? it’s a very easy job, I have all the materials, not the tools….. and I need a good steam carpet cleaner! holler

BTW, ICEE FRESH IS CLOSED TODAY and TOMORROW!
we will be back open on wednesday and back to our normal times of 10am to 7pm, 7 days a week….

peace
