After a year of waiting I finally got to see this movie. Anvil: The Story of Anvil . If you are lucky you will get a chance to see this film. Relying most on buzz and their small scale distrubution this film is killing everywhere. I could keep talking but I think at this point you should probably just watch the trailer . This trailer is cool but after watching this film I have come to the conclusion anyone who has been or is currently in a band should watch this. Being in a band is bigger than a romantic relationship (as it is so often compared). When you break up with someone you hard hurt (some destroyed) but chances are you'll find someone new. For many people when their band breaks up, that is it. Rockin on stage is a drug that can't be replaced. Sometimes you care if the crowd is into it but mostly you just want to rock. This film embodies that idea. These two guys are so addicted they don't listen to the hoards of people around them who say their dream is...

This weekend we almost overdosed on cuteness. Our adventure this Saturday was up to Petaluma to check out their yearly Butter & Eggs Day. It was really fun. We got up there just in time to see the "Cutest Little Chick in Town" contest. Cute is the appropriate word. Parents are given the opportunity to dress their 0-4 year old as a baby chick. Besides getting the opportunity to check out Petaluma, that contest was Marieta's only reason for seeing the festival.  I had to work at 5am Saturday morning so after standing under the hot sunday for a couple hours we split town after the parade. I was starting to fade, hard. We took a trip down the road to check out a cheese company, drove up to Santa Rosa to hit up a couple of wineries that Marieta liked, and then on the way home we stopped back in Petaluma to get a bite to eat. It was a pretty awesome day. Enjoy the video.

In the past two weeks I have posted close to 10 different videos on the web. Most of which no one outside of our families care about but I think it's pretty cool. Heck our Bring Your Own Big Wheel 2009 adventure has been viewed close to 100 times. That's pretty cool. Those random people probably didn't watch it to see Marieta and I do our thing but I don't care. Our videos aren't for them. One day we'll be 90 years old and be able to relive basically our whole lives based off whats posted on our family webpage . Freaking Delicious will even help us relive the places where we've eaten out (there's 10 episodes on there now! Check it out! ) We've been all over the place in the last month. Pescadero, Ano Nuevo , the big wheel dealie , running around the bay with my parents , and most recently we danced around a couple San Francisco parks. I know it's nothing terribly exciting... but there are some beautiful flowers. I'll leave you with that vide...

That's a little too much... How about he can't direct actors. In case you don't know Mr. Cameron let's run down his keystone films: Terminator , Terminator 2 , Aliens , The Abyss , True Lies , Titanic . Quite a list of critical & box office success. And outside of True lies, The Abyss and Terminator 2 some seriously sketchy acting. Why am I bringing this up? One of my favorite websites, Firstshow.net ran down a big ole list of SyFy :P movies that hottly anticpated this year, and they said this about James Cameron From Terminator to Aliens to The Abyss, he's brought us some of the greatest sci-fi movies of all-time, and he's ready to do it all over again. The all over again line is talking about his 3D space adventure Avatar set to be released this December. It will most likely kick some serious ass but this garbage about Aliens being one of the greatest SyFy films of all-time needs to stop. When was the last time you watched that movie? There is so mu...

You should check out the Seward Street Slides. Not a tourist hot spot or anything but fun as can be. The only way these babies could any cooler is if they were twice as long. My parents were up in NorCal for this past Easter weekend and since we had basically no plans I decided to drive us up into the Castro hills and check these babies out. It turned out to be a great decision considering we all had fun and it set up the rest of our Saturday. Want to see for yourself? go check out our website to see the whole thing, video style . If you're too lazy for that. Let me give you a couple sweet pics from the whole weekend.

Easter in San Francisco, that means Bring Your Own Big Wheel. Last year I made a glorious debut and after a year of toe tapping Marieta finally got her shot. Enjoy the video. (As of this videos posting it is foolishly 14 minutes long but I have replaced the source video and it should revert its normal length of 5 and a half minutes.)

Within seconds of landing in San Francisco Sunday I get a call from Marieta telling me she has a messed up foot and we need to go to the E.R. as soon as she lands (we flew separately because we bought our tickets a week apart). So I call in sick because she doesn't land till 10p, my shift would have started at 330a, and there was no way I would have gotten anything resembling a reasonable amount of sleep after visiting the hospital. The good news was Marieta's foot wasn't broken, just had a fresh bruise that reacted poorly to swelling due to flying, the bad news: we didn't get home till after 2a and I was starting to feel extremely sick. After passing out I wake up at 4a and feel some serious internal pressure building at both ends. Without getting too graphic lets say I fought a nasty war and left the battlefield in tatters at 430a. We didn't wake up till 130p . I would kept on sleeping but I had some business to take care of. After struggling to stay awake for two...
