"A Comic's Life" - video for MSN

Here is a video we made for MSN & Rooftop Comedy. It show's what comedians deal with on a day to day basis.

Happy Halloween - here is a "Friday the 13th" video for ya

To keep in the Halloween spirit, here is a tour of the barn from the movie "Friday the 13th part 3".  This has been up on you tube for a while, but I figured I'd put it up on the blog since I'm sure most of you aren't randomly searching for "filming locations of scary movies" on the internet!

Below is the video I took when I went back to the filming location with my brother. You may notice that the barn doors have been put on backwards. Numerous production companies use the barn for filming through the years, so pieces of the barn gets taken apart and reassembled all the time. 

GNR North American Tour promo video

In case you haven't heard, Guns N Roses is starting up a North American Tour, which kicks off this weekend in Miami.  Here is one of the promo videos for a show in Houston, Texas on November 4th.

A picture from Duff's facebook page.

This book is awesome by the way!!

Steven Adler picture

Just wanted to share a picture of me with Guns N Roses drummer Steven Adler taken not too long ago at the "Whiskey A Go Go" on Sunset Blvd.

Steven is playing a special show this Halloween at the Wiltern Theater in Los Angeles.

Duff McKagan book signing

I spend most of my time talking about Guns N Roses, yet whenever I get the chance to meet a member of the band I get pretty nervous and suddenly don't have much to talk about. Duff is a great guy and was cool enough to hang a bit and get a picture with me.  Notice my left hand holding Duff's side like an awkward prom picture. As you can tell this pic was taken with my disposable camera!

*My date is in the background, a baby wookie from Craigs list.  Only 25 bucks for the day!

The Loons were out in Newport Beach

Whenever you do a show with a group of comics, there is always the awkward moment of trying to figure out who is going to host, along with the actual order of the comedians for the night.  ( the above picture demonstrates the look you usually get when you ask a comic "You want to go up first?")

We did a show in Newport Beach last night at the Tapas Restaurant and Nightclub, with a small but rowdy crowd that really enjoyed being part of the show. (drunk heckling) -  It was an wild bunch, including a group of 10 from Georgia (racists) , a woman in a tank top who flew in from Alaska (weirdo) and some guy who met his wife on Craig's list.  (not a bad option)  

The show was a complete free for all, with the comics doing nothing but crowd work the whole show and being forced to find ways to keep the prisoners in their cells.   It was actually an awesome time, and as the 2011 leg of the tour winds down it will definitely be one of the memorable shows.

*Special thanks to the students of UC Irvine who supported the show by not showing up!

  

Axl Rose at Rosario's airport in Argentina.

Axl and GNR are about to kick off their U.S. tour in late October.  While doing a few warm up shows in South America, some fans shot some footage of Axl having a "moment" with the security at the airport. Now before you jump to any conclusions about Axl's temper, make sure to read the explanation at the top of the youtube page. And besides, most people get frustrated when some loon can't take directions while making your sandwich at Subway, try dealing with idiots at 4am in Argentina.

Axl never beats around the bush. This guy has toured all over the world and has seen it all.  If I was in some 3rd world country (anywhere besides America) I wouldn't have the guts to tell security guards off and walk around like I own the place.  He definitely keeps the GNR spirit alive. One of the last real rock stars.

An update on "The Jizzmaster"

My new short film "The Jizzmaster" will be coming out soon.  It is almost done editing.  The footage looks great.  Special thanks to our editor John Heeg and director/cinematographer Chris Westlund who always do a great job.   We are having a premiere for it on Sunday November 13th at the Hollywood Improv Lab (9:30pm).  I smell Oscar!

*Oscar is the homeless woman outside our office.

Duff McKagan book tour update

I'll have some pictures up from the Duff McKagan book signing at Barnes & Nobel in Santa Monica this past Sunday. (October 9th).   Duff was awesome,  he did about 45 minutes of Q & A, and signed books and took pictures with everyone.  He told a bunch of cool stories and is genuinely a very smart and well spoken guy. Make sure to check out the book in stores now!  

*side note - I still have video coming of the church from the November Rain video.  With football season starting up, I haven't had the time on Sunday's to roll over there and get some good footage. 

*Normally I would take this chance to brag about how well the 49ers are doing this year, but I don't want to jinx anything.
