These two rule.
We had an awesome Thanksgiving. Biggest meal we have ever cooked, hands down.

Two days into the week and it feels like the world has been turned upside down multiple times. Yesterday was bizarre and today...today I got news that I simply don't believe...I almost refuse to believe it's true.
Stunned.

"When Lugs Harvey sets up a car, your mother could drive it."
"Is that God's own racecar or what is it?"
"What is it"
"You've seen bible class. Everyone cheats a little bit."
"What was her first name?"
"I don't know. Last time I was with her she had a sash on...said 'Miss Daytona'...probably her last name."

In this business, every once in a while you find yourself in an odd situation. We spent a day with Heath Pinter and Corey Bohan today. Corey is ranked best dirt jumper in the universe. These guys took us to this place that was like "whoa." Total moonscape, if the moon was dry as a popcorn fart and the smell of meth labs permeated the air.

These guys ruled. Erik didn't get to play the air guitar video game.

With everyone from beat cops to bums with Blackberrys on the creep, we got what we needed and left just in the nick of time.

Jerry on one of those folding jobbers...he says these are big in Japan.
California rules...Definitely in the top 51 states.

While in Los Angeles to drop off some film we went and visited "world famous" "a Hollywood legend" "hot dog to the stars" "home of the world's best chili dog" "total bullshit" Pink's Hot Dogs. Maybe it was my unfamiliarity with their menu, though I do believe I qualify as person who knows a thing or two about hot dogs, but it was a real dissapointment. The "Chicago" dog was like no other Chicago-style hot dog I have ever had. Lettuce? Brown mustard? And the "New York" dog, which I had hoped was going to be similar to a Coney Island dog, was no such thing. It had these nasty-ass red stained onions (not red onions, mind you) on a below-average dog. I was hoping the fries were going to be good, given that they had one of those weird nuclear fry machines, but even those were meh. Oh! And no Hebrew National or Vienna Beef? Are you kidding me?
Add hot dogs to the long list of things that California has screwed up.
XOXOXO

Despite its relatively close proximity to where I grew up, I only went to Rhode Island's Rocky Point Park twice: once on a school trip to the amusement park, and once to see the Pixes and Pere Ubu at The Rocky Point Paladium. The place definitely had a much more down and dirty feel than Riverside (now Six Flags) did, and the fact that it was on the shore imparted this weird, salty feel. Abandoned stuff is obviously a favorite around here so it was very cool to come across this site, documenting Rocky Point's past and present:

In northern Vermont there's no shortage of drive-ins to visit during the summer. On a back road we travel to go to NH there's even one with a motel attached where you can watch movies from your room. But the rest of the country isn't that lucky...hell, the rest of New England has seen its resources severely depleted in this area, as this woman's special little slice of the web shows:

And here's something else that's apparently abandoned:
Steaks!
