RAY'S REPORTS

This is the beginning of Star Trek: Into Darkness when Spock is inside a live volcano about to erupt and he’s like “Fuck it, don’t rescue me.”

My Mom’s roses are going crazy. They are huge.

This is one of those things when you read about it and you’re like, “This is going to change everything.” Maybe it will, I haven’t noticed much. I think I need to give it more time. This herb has a few nicknames, my faves are “the smell of a horse” and “strength of a stallion”.

Wonder Woman on a bus stop bench. I am excited for this movie.

Testing my new phone. Samsung S8. I missed focus here. But see how big these roses are out of control.

Anchorman was playing on a tv inside the bathroom mirror at this bar? It was cool though.

Remember when I used to give health updates related to my teeth? Well I didn’t do such a good job. 2 of them had to be extracted. And they kept breaking so they pulled them out in pieces. I think I chew weird now. Tell me if I do the next time we go eat.

I met Sebastian in SF years ago and he actually interned at the studio for minute. Now he is the editor and publisher of his own magazine called Foundations. Him and a bunch of other people put on this book fair called Smoke Break at a gallery called Club Pro. I had a Hamburger Eyes table and did a slideshow presentation. Fun weekend.

Quick trip to SF for… nothing. Just visiting. First time in a long time where I went somewhere and didn’t have to work. Skated a bunch. Chilled a bunch. Ate a bunch. I needed it.

I had to go to LA for the opening of a photo show we hung in the offices of Super Deluxe. On the way up I pulled over for gas and posted this photo in my insta stories. So many people commented and dm’d me about this photo. Kids that were from this area which is I don’t even know, north of Long Beach I think. Anyways, how random that this photo has had the most action in my insta story mode so far.

They got a keg for the office! And a lot of them had never done a keg stand before. It was fun. But it was an office party, so it ended early. 

Back to the hotel. Monkey was in town for one night too. We shared a room. Here he is eating a burrito.

Then we went to Hop Louie.

Gang.

Ziggy. 

Breakfast. This food is good for sure, but I think I like coming here because I saw Marisa Tomei one time before. Also, there is a Starbucks on the block.

Monkey had to kill time, his ride to the desert wasn’t done with work till 5pm. So I dropped him off at Jason’s house while I had to go back to San Diego.

People text me stuff. Here are some recent highlights.

From Jerry.

Some random person shot this of my brother and I at the book fair, sent it to Barry, then Barry sent it to me.

Michelle and a porkchop.

Another from Barry.

Eddie sent this photo by Mark. RIP ORFN.

Monkey came to town for Tony’s 50th bday. He got a pool side room at the Lafayette. It was rad.

Tony’s 50! We got kicked out of 2 bars this night. We still know how to do what we were born to do I guess.
