roadtrip

we just got back from a week long road trip to oregon. we spent an awesome 2 days in the redwoods and then headed up to gold beach and spent 3 days on the rogue river. while we were on the river we took a 104 mile jet boat trip and saw some amazing sites like bald eagles, bears, rapids, massive redwoods, and a plethora of God’s other incredible work. we left gold beach, went to newport and spent the next 3 days looking at tide pools, whale watching and enjoying fantastic sunsets. now it’s back to work.

here is roxy doing her best to get me to move to oregon.

Roxy and Isabel had the opportunity to give singing a shot alongside a couple of our good friends, Nick 13 from Tiger Army and Davey Havoc from AFI with the guys from The Dear & Departed on their new album “Something Quite Peculiar”. These photos are a few months old, as the record was just released last week, but they are gems that i found while rifling through some photos. You can hear them in the background on a couple songs.

off to missouri

I’m headed out to Missouri for the week with my dad and one of my cousins for a bonafide family reunion. Ive never been out there to see the farm where my grandfather lives, so it should be really cool. I know it will be beautiful, so ill get some pictures up as soon as i get back. with any luck we’ll get a 25 cousin harley ride together since most of my cousins out there are into harley’s as well; that would be incredible.

in other news, the website should be up and running inside of a week. we’re really looking forward to getting it launched as we’ve put a lot of time into it, and it’s looking really cool. we’ll be sure to get the link up as soon as it’s ready.

K/BIS show in Las Vegas

•May 23, 2007 • Leave a Comment

This last week was the K/BIS kitchen and bath expo in Las Vegas, so Brundy and I decided to head up and check it out to have a look around, shake some hands, and get some ideas for the booth we are planning on doing later this year at the Orange County Fairgrounds. My brother in law was there with his friend Tom selling the most incredible sinks at the massive show.

After getting the guys started at the shop and getting in half a day of work, Brundy and I got on the road around noon. We made great time and had a ludicrous (yet productive) brainstorming session regarding a couple other projects we’ve got in workshop.

After checking in we went to dinner with my sister, brother in law, Tom and his son Max. They told us how overwhelming the show was and how well they did selling their sinks. Dinner was awesome, but the Kitty Club was even better. Nothing better than listening a 90’s cover band & watching drunk white people dance. Far and away the best dancer was the big guy in the poker shirt dancing up a storm and somehow managing to harmoniously mesh the mamba and the electric slide. Anyways it was a good time.

Next morning we headed over to the show. We started at the smallest of the three halls, The South Hall where my brother-in-law had his booth. I’d say the Caesarstone people took the cake for best booth with their full bar, DJ, and amazing product. http://www.caesarstone.com

Towards the end of the aisle and the South Hall we saw a booth that had the laser engraving machine that I had been looking at on-line. We stopped and talked with the sales rep for a while, one thing led to another, and come summer time, Surface Pros will be offering laserstone engraving.

After 5 hours of mind boggling ideas and sensory overload, we went back to the room with countless ideas and worked on content for the website. Torture! But we got it all done.

Coolest part of the trip was the night’s dinner with my sister, brother in law, Max, Tom and Brundy, at The Steak House at Mandalay Bay and the Carrot Top Show. Sooooo funny. He was very wasted and incredibly funny. Next time hopefully Kris can get us better seats, second row just doesn’t cut it. J.K. Thanks Kris, “Awesome Night”.

We pushed out at 6:30 the following morning after a few venti drinks from Starbucks and once again made fantastic time.

Can’t wait for thr kitchen and bath show in october in Costa Mesa
