Illusion Cycles ASN Charity Event photos

Musician, Bike Builder and Sons of Anarchy actor Rusty Coones put on a charity event with his wife K.O. for the American Soldier Network this weekend. Me and the gang went on down to Orange County to support the cause and donate some used shoes that get sent to other countries to get refurbished and re-distributed to people who need them.

We had a blast, there must have been about 25,000 pairs of shoes donated. There was great barbecue served, they had the NFL games on and more than a few motorcycle clubs were represented.

Rusty had some of his custom bikes on display, including awesome "Sons of Anarchy" and "Sopranos" bikes that people loved. 

Wasn't really sure how to pose for this photo but ...
Custom "Sopranos" bike. 

"Jaws 2 Eddie" came to the event and declared that as soon as he gets some "Fuck You" money, he is going to get a customized "Jaws 2" Motorcycle designed for him with a big shark fin on the back.  Just when you thought it was safe to go back on the highway.

 The Barbecue we had for lunch was fantastic.  Pulled Pork Grilled Cheese, Sliders, Hot Dogs and more.  Plenty of free cupcakes too. Then we washed it all down with some motor oil. (just like John Grizzly in "Over the Top")


After lunch it was time to load up all of the donations.  We had 3 full trailers of shoes that were donated and we had to load them into the warehouse.  We all lined up and started a "hand off" chain and transported about 350 full garbage bags of shoes into the warehouse.  

We had 4 rooms and a warehouse full of bags we loaded.

Looks like "Jaws 2 Eddie" should have wore his high heels.
This was a great time, Rusty and his wife K.O. put on a spectacular event with local bands, military and the community.  We will definitely be at the next one too. 
  We also got booked to do some stand up comedy at his MC's clubhouse soon as well, more news to come when I get the details.

Jerry Rice Posters

I miss my old Jerry Rice posters. Growing up in Wisconsin it was Green Bay Packers mania everywhere I went. But not me, I jumped on that 49ers bandwagon and rode it harder than my high school girlfriend.

I think I need to re-buy all of these and duct tape them all over my car.

My favorite one.

Does anyone know what the hell this bug is?

Sometimes I see this bug outside in my driveway. It's actually pretty creepy.
It looks like a mix of a Cricket, Bee, Spider and Ant. It's about 3 inches long and I think it eats humans.
Anyways, if anybody knows what it is, email me naked pictures of yourself.

Just trying to get back to my home planet.

Cardinals vs 49ers & Comedy at "The Hearth"

Had back to back weekends in San Francisco this month. With the Niners having another home game and doing a comedy show in the Richmond District, "I left my heart wallet in San Francisco"

This time I went up with comedian Adam Feuerberg and we had a blast.  We stayed at the SF International Hostel, because that's where most 36 year old Americans should stay!

It's all downhill from here.
The place is actually pretty awesome. It's like party central.
People from all over, and they are super friendly and laid back.
I suppose you would have to be nice with an annual income of thirty dollars.

Below is the afternoon crew "working" the front desk.

"Check in is at 4:20", Check out is ... whenever man"

I cashed in my "Denny's Reward's Club" points for a VIP status upgrade. It got us a private suite, but we had to share a bed. I figured if the sheets don't have Jizz already on them, they would after Feuerberg slept there anyways. (the guy sweats sperm)  Besides, most foreigners using Hostel's are pretty normal and clean looking anyways. I'm sure it's fine. How bad could it be?

Make sure to flush the sink after shitting.
After dropping off our bags, we then hopped on a bus and headed towards the Richmond District for the Comedy Show at "The Hearth" bar on Geary Blvd. Twice a month, they put on a Stand Up show, that is becoming quite popular on the SF Comedy Scene.  The place was packed, as I noticed we were performing #20 and #21. It's going to be a long night, I should use the extra time I have to go over my notes, .... or I could go to the "Jack N the Box" across the street and check out their new late night party menu.  File that one under "White People problems".

Feuerberg on stage.
 The show had about 25 killer comedians and an awesome crowd. The host Meredith Godfrey puts together a great show. At the end, they give out the "Golden Plunger" award for the best comedian of the night and I was lucky enough to win.

I'd like to thank "Jack N the Box" 

The next day, the good times kept rolling as the Niners beat the Cardinals 32 to 20.


A Cardinals player held a baby after the game.

"Can you watch him while I run to the bathroom?"
"Great, I'll be back in 2 hours"
The Niners don't have another home game for 3 weeks so I'll be able to chill in L.A. for a while.
I'm sure you care.

Sunday Night Football - Texans vs 49ers



It's time for Sunday Night Football!  The Texans were in town and they got their ass kicked!

This time I went up to Candlestick Park with my Bi-Sexual roommate Steve. He said "I want to show you MY San Francisco".  Buckle your seat belts folks.  Its time to hang in San Francisco with Creepy Steve!






Downtown San Francisco

Steve marches to the beat of his own drum, by that, I mean that he likes guys and girls! (mostly guys) The first stop on his "personal tour" brought us to a drag show that was at a local hotel.  Steve said he just wanted to make a quick "pit stop" at the show, but 8 mimosa's later I was dragging him out with a pink boa around his neck. So much for just dropping in.  They will probably rename that place "Creepy Steve's Caberet"

Steve got on stage and let out his inner "Diva"
After the show, he said, "You like Art right?" and I was like "No".  He then said he used to date a "local artist" that was putting on an exhibit. They broke up on bad terms and he wanted to go and see "what that bitch had been up to". I begrudgingly went along.

We saw the exhibit, the artists name was Walter Spunkbuns.  We found him right away because Steve's "Grinder" app on his phone lit up as soon as we were within a half a mile.

He was a nice fella, kind of like Colonel Sanders with a lisp. As the only "breeder" in the area, I decided to let them have some alone time in Walter's van while I went and read the newspaper.


They still have chemistry.
After his little "Sexcapade", Steve said, "I want to dance" let's go find some music.  I said "What the hell are you talking about?" and he said, follow me....

We wound up at a local music store, but I don't think he was looking for music as much as he was looking for Buns.  He immediately went to the dvd's and snagged about 3 different used "Playgirl" DVD's.  He then got in an argument with the cashier about how he had a "used" Tom Selleck nude VHS fantasy video on hold and they had sold it.  I guess..  White people problems.


Steve hangs in the "Special Interest" section.
Next, Steve started mumbling about how he had to do something on his "Bucket List".  I guess it was super important and he had to do it before Baseball season was over.  Not to stand in the way of America's Pastime, we went over to At&T park,  home of the San Francisco Giants.

We approached the stadium, there wasn't a game that day, so I had no idea what he was up to.
But I did see a life size, stone statue of "Hammering" Hank Aaron.  "Uh Oh" I thought, as Steve's eyes lit up with excitement.

"I just gotta know" said Steve as he ran towards the statue, putting on a layer of chap stick on the way.  He hit the base of the statue, opened wide and had me take this picture. (below)

Hank Aaron puts his "Hammer" in Steve's mouth!
"That's it", "You had your fun, playtime's over" I said as we wrapped up at the Baseball field.  "Let's head down to Candlestick for Sunday Night Football!"

The SNF bus.


The Niners drum team, or whatever the hell they are called.

The "Bone Zone" hooked us up with some "Airheads" candy.


Heinz Ward and Bob Costas before the game.


The NFL wont allow us to bring in seat cushions,
but they will let this guy in!

During a regular day game, the sun beats down on the park. It get's so hot you could cook fish sticks on my forehead.  But this was a night game, so it was perfect football weather.

Night games at Candlestick are awesome.

The game was a blowout. I actually felt bad for the Texans and their fans. They actually seemed pretty cool and the team is dealing with some stuff this year. Hopefully they get it together, But I'm glad that we got the win.

This game was wrapped up early. 

Until next week ....
