My Saturday night was spent hanging with Casso and a few of her friends at rooftop bar at the Standard in downtown Los Angeles.
A very nice place indeed. Couches and lawn sculptures everywhere, great music, surprisingly generous bartenders, and a pool of course.
Me and the ladies: Danielle, Nicole, and Heather.
Ian and Heather. I'm not really sure what they're doing...
Me and Danielle. She dances pretty well for a white girl.
And look who decides to show up but Ms. Hollywood herself, Yvonne.
After closing we head back to the room. Top floor only for this girl. The rooms are very spacious. I like.
Kitty really liked my moves on the floor. She referred to me as Jabbawockee Jon the whole night. Seriously?
The party didn't stop there. Some ballroom dancing with the birthday girl.
Happy Birthday Casso! You're so old...
Against my better judgement, I drove back to Anaheim at 4am. (I lost my valet ticket and didn't want anyone to claim my car!) I ended my night with Del Taco and Season 2 of Entourage.
"Great fucking night." -Drama

Oct 24: Stephen does Crack?
I bet THAT got your attention. Nah he didn't. At least not the stuff you're probably thinking.
Friday night we met up with some of the crew at Bruce and Daniel's apartment to see off Adam before he leaves for Guadalajara for medical research (and señoritas) for a few months. Right when we walked through the door, we see the party already started with this sick contraption.
Basically it plays some eerie music and when it stops you have to press the red button. If you don't the game delivers a strong jolt of electricity through your hand. The reactions are much like the "DON'T TAZE ME BRO!" guy.
The spread for the night: Jäger-RedBull bombs, red wine, beers, and homemade pizzas. Very nice.
We lookin' like the real life Entourage! I think we did the Season 1 cover justice. Stephen's carrying a rock. (???)
So after 4-drinks too many, a few of us head up the street to BCD tofu house to meet up with Michael for a few.
Somehow these two got ahead of us and were on a date. Jasmine's a little surprised. At least its a more flattering picture than her new facebook/myspace picture. If you'd like to add her, her name is *~jazziangellgurl.143~*.
Stephen and Adam were texting that French girl Adam met a few weeks ago at La Cita. Adam had a late-night dinner date at Denny's at 3am later. Text of the night: "Should I order you a Grand Slam? Or are we just gonna play for 3rd base?".
Hi Michael! Not sure why you wanted to meet here when you could have just went to Bruce's up the street. We didn't even order any food!
Cesar's still bummed that his date got crashed.
We were gone for about 30 minutes. We come back to find that the rest of the party left the apartment. Way to hold down the fort Daniel.
Drunk or bummed? You decide.
Adam's homie Joe made the drive up from San Diego just to be there. Not for Adam, but to try out for the group. Bruce's #1 is gonna be Adam's replacement for Bit of Change.
Adam never made it to Denny's. Instead he wrestled Bruce the rest of the night. A couple things going on in this picture: Adam's feathered hair flying, Bruce's butt cleavage flashing, and Stephen's on the corner watching out for crack. We'll see you later Adam. Have a good time in Mexico.
Stephen and I were only supposed to take a 30-minute nap and then head back to Anaheim. 4 hours later we woke up and got on the road. It was still early enough for breakfast so we went to McDonalds! Stephen's thinking about the crack.
While we were waiting for our order, Stephen's nose starts bleeding. Too many white lines dude. Everybody nose. Looks like Stephen got a hold of some of that crack from Bruce. (No homo?)
McGriddles and hash browns. Ah, what a feast.
I will still promote these post-party beverages as the perfect cure to get you through your morning/afternoon. Wuttup JFNG!
The Monopoly game is in effect. Little known fact is that hash browns each carry 2 pieces! Another little known fact is that back in elementary school, Stephen and I met up at the McDonald's at Circus Circus (both of our families happened to be there that weekend) and we ate about 10 hash browns each. My theory back then was that they spread the pieces out all over the country and that for the one piece that you couldn't get for each color, you had to find it in another part of the country. I guess Vegas wasn't far enough.
Some of the key winnings from that morning. Anyone out there have Broadway and wanna be my new best friend?
As we head back, Stephen's nose starts bleeding again. He looks so coked out right here.
Don't do drugs kids. Crack kills.

The Past 6 Days
Sorry faithful readers for the lack of updates.
Friday, Oct 17
Our buddy Justin got into town from a 3-day drive from base on Mississippi. He's relocating to northern California to fly some fighter jets. We stopped at In-N-Out for a bite to eat.
Cesar and Justin came over and watched old episodes of Entourage and then played Rock Band forever...
Sunday, Oct 19
Our cousins Casey and Nicole stopped by! I haven't seen these kids in a while. I guess they're not little kids anymore.
Brian just got paid on Friday so he was big ballin' all day. First he paid for lunch for the fam, and then he got us ice cream too!
Cold Stone. Where the real players play.
Thanks Brian!
Monday, Oct 20
Grabbed some dinner with Cesar, Brian, and Stephen at Olive Garden.
Please vote "No" on Prop 8 so these two can get married.
Tuesday, Oct 21
My co-worker Jake came to Rock City to check out my rock gym. The power was out so there were some great camera opportunities.
Wednesday, Oct 22
It was Casso's birthday so a few of us grabbed lunch with her today. Casso and Yvonne. Happy birthday Casso!!
This fool joined us too.
When we got back there were 2 bouquets of flowers waiting at her desk. She's so loved. My favorite was this fake bird in the floral arrangement.
And finally a highlight reel from Jordan Farmar and Trevor Ariza.
I'm ready for basketball season now... IT'S JUST A SORE KNEE DAMN IT!

Jay-Z & Memphis Bleek - U Don't Know
Jay-Z & T.I. - Swagger Like Us
Jay-Z & DJ AM - Big Pimpin'
Jay-Z - H to the IZZO
Many thanks to woodini6969 for posting these clips, (Available in High Quality too!)

My Bum is on Your Swag
100TH POST HOLLER!!!
Wednesday night I headed to Hollywood for the grand re-opening of the Palladium on Sunset with my co-worker Yvonne. I know I saw Jay-Z earlier this year but still, Hovi's home!
L.A. is hyped.
The refreshed look. Looks just as good as it did back then.
The stars were definitely out that night. Tyrese, Big Boi, Jordan Farmar, Andrew Bynum (they count damn it!), Tony Kanal (NO DOUBT!), and some other TV stars. Sorry this is the best picture I could get of the VIP section.
He was scheduled for an 8:00 show. He was on stage at 9:45. Meh...
Say hello!
The Roc Boys in the building tonight.
Memph Bleek got on stage and did Is That Your Chick with Jay. Rockin' Crooks & Castles all day.
Guest DJ for the night: DJ AM. Welcome back.
I wonder who he's voting for... "You betcha!" *wink*
Another guest for the night: T.I. performed Swagger Like Us.
We got pretty close to the front stage. About 15 feet away from Hov.
Can we get an encore?
Thank you Jay. Next time get on stage on time and you can perform even more songs.
Afterwards Yvonne and I hit up Mood a few blocks away for a Blackberry afterparty. This girl is connected to Hollywood by the hip. Thanks yo!
Spinning that night was my boy Mr. Markie. Nobody beats the Biz. Not sure why he's mean muggin.
"Yo WUSSUP TOM GREEN!"
"Hey how's it going man!"
"I loved your show dude!"
"Thanks! I like your swagger!"
Sweet.
Good times. I took SEVERAL videos and hopefully I'll get them up soon. Here's to 100 more!
