i usually catch up on sleep during weekends but a lot was happening this past friday so i actually went out and did alot. started off the night at the clippers game with ian... we got there at half time but had dope seats so all good. after the game, we went over to 944/hudson party at elevate (we'll post the video soon). shout out to kelly/nikki at 944, vice who kililed it on the decks and rickey kim n co... after mixing champagne with belvedere, we drunk drove over to the LRG jump that my boy kev put together. some more boozing (see pics below) and all that good stuff. again, more incriminating photos/video for a later time but enjoy a few for now.

LA fashion week jump off

although i have to catch a flight in a few hours (7am departure to NYC), i decided to stop by the 944 LA fashion week launch party at blvd 3. we had to show support for my girls kelly and nikki over at 944 as they put together a dope runway show + vip/free booze for us. complex' covergirl kim kardashian was one of the models and honestly, i had a good time before we went over to les deux for tammy, jerry and nick's one off.

peep the photos for all the model shots... myself and matt (dF's newest member... i'm flying out my 21 year old UCLA student / assistant out to NYC you suckers. get your game right sonnnn!!!). anyways, big thanks to kelly and nikky for showing us love.. my girl and i had a good buzz/time!

illinois football is in the top 20 this week...

illini-purdue-01.jpg

my alma mater is arguably the BEST team in the big ten this year. if we hadn't fumbled so much in the first game, we'd be undefeated and in the top 10 but i can't complain about the 3-0 start in big ten play (already beat penn state and wisconsin).

for a good read on the coach (ron zook) and how he took our shitty football team and made it an elite squad.

the real deal grill...

holyfield.jpg

besides following george foreman into the whole "i'm old and slow as fuck but still want to fight in front of 600 people at a bingo hall" routine, evander holyfield comes out with a grill of his own.

you be the judge
