Looks like I know what I’ll be doing this weekend…

Butt-un.

Was in LA this past weekend to see some old faces. It was a nice break from my usual weekends quarantined in the PHANTOM CAVE. I’ll let the pictures do the talking…

Happy Early Birthday, Daniel (Marna Ro)! He had to blow out the candles, take 6 shots, drink coffee, down 4 beers each with a shot of Jameson inside them, and get a kiss from Ralph. We don’t mess around.

Skip the girl fights, emotional heart-to-hearts, and all the craziness that happened inside EXCHANGE and fast forward to fourth meal… El Tauro Tacos Truck.

The next day I trekked a little ways north to visit Louis (Louis Trinh Photography) and his new pad which happens to be down the street from Universal Studios.

Grabbed lunch at a local spot… Good Neighbor Restaurant. So good.

Judging from the decor, must be a favorite among celebs… even saw actor Oscar Nunez from “The Office” there!

I told him to look straight into the camera…

“The Universal” sandwich…

“The Hollywood” sandwich… cream cheese – check, thick and crispy bacon – check… potato salad ice cream – check.

Louis trying to set the mood with his record player that plays too slow and too fast… never in the middle.

His roommate Luis was gearing up for a photo shoot… some DJ chick… didn’t catch her name… or snap any pics. I am useless.

I bet these are useless to you, too…

I hate traffic.

Never leave home without it.

Currently at a local Starbucks trying to get some work done while waiting for my 3-hour oil change. Emails, mockups, color ways, bawse-ass decisions… all going down right now. The wheels are definitely turning. My to-do list keeps getting longer and sometimes I wonder where I’m going to find the time to take care of everything (like blogging!) before launch but to tell you the truth… I’m enjoying every minute of it. Staying up till 3am+ definitely takes a toll and I pay for it the next day but thats the cost of admission… and why Red Bulls and Doubleshots (not a sponsored mention) were invented!

Here are some pictures from throughout the week. Dropbox is misbehaving at the moment so I’m limited to only sharing pictures that actually made it through.

UPDATE #1: Dropbox gods heard me… enjoy!
UPDATE #2: Wow, 4S pictures are MONEY.

Not sure what day this was… but it was a GREAT day (Pho Hoa, #1).

Went shopping for some “office supplies”. Lots of number crunching ahead…

Stopped by Rite Aid on the way home… why not?

… and of course, Starbucks (again, not a sponsored mention)…

These are so addicting. “Office supplies” trip = semi-success.

Probably the next morning… (yes, again). Check out my custom blueberry muffin holder, though…

Getting my fix at work…

Love getting packages…

… especially PHANTOM-related ones. “Like A Champ” stickers (self-explanatory) fresh from the printers.

Work lunch with the fellas… KEBAB SHOP. Thanks for driving, Mr. Cool Sunglasses Guy (Ollie Neglerio).

Lamb Doner with fries and saffron rice inside (red and white sauce is a must… smelling like meat afterwards – inevitable)…

Its usually work hard, WORK hard for me… but sometimes you need a break so #neverstopplaying #gamechanger

It was a Fictitious Friday morning…

One Man Army.
