A very Artfully Disheveled wedding.

Outside Casa Luna.

A toast to Trey from this delicious but unmarked and unlabeled bottle of mescal.

Some of the beautiful surroundings that we went screaming through.

Amazing and old little church in the midst of our journey.

A little street art in the Hongdae in Seoul on the way to M2 superclub.

Korea fried chicken and pitchers of beer. Site of the most insane display of human behavior ever seen.

Post M2 waiting for the cabs that don't exist and take forever. OK admittedly M2 only had 2 floors so it may not have been a superclub but I had a super time.

The Big Island

After a day of surfing catching the sunset on the North Shore of Oahu. Off to the Big Island tomorrow.

Smoldering crater.

The cycle of life.

Coming at you from the center of a volcano crater.

Unbelievable environment.

Recent lava flow near the water.

Rainforest area north of Hilo. Beginning of the journey around the island to Kona.

Another waterfall.

Gorgeous sunset on the Kona side of the Big Island. Almost there.
Our place in Kona. Not bad. Thank goodness for the Hawaii Kama Aina hookup.

Bryan surfaces after dive 1. Apparently he can stay under more than old Johnny breathes a lot.

The amazing scene after dive one while we waited for the Manta Ray dive. Gorgeous.

Not my pic but this is just a hint at wait we experienced. What an incredible experience. 10 gigantic Manta Rays swarming around you at 40 feet.

Squeezing it all in. Bryan and I drove for an hour and ran 4 miles in order to take a quick 2 minutes splash and dig our toes into this green sand. Was actually worth it. Look at this place. Still made to the airport in time for our flight to Oahu.

Couple of Big Island guys throwin' up the shaka at the Green Beach.

Hawaii Last Couple of days

2009-10-03T13:24:00.000-07:00

Kauai proved to be a much easier location for my bodyboarding career. Mokapu on Oahu, beat me down. A whole lot of paddling and diving for very few rides! Cocks roaming free on Kauai and some of what Oahu has to offer. Purposefully not documented here was the most romantic and totally hilarious set of Mai Tai's and Mojito's Bryan and I shared at the Beach House. Spectacular views and outstanding people watching. What is wrong with us??

Shipwreck Break in PoiPu proved to be a pretty good break.

Bryan and I blend right in with the gnarly pack of locals.

This is essentially what Bryan and I looked like carving the head high waves.

Spouting Horn blow hole near PoiPu.

Break at Mokapu. I assure you it was a lot tougher than it looks. I got really good at getting taken to pound town by a ton of ways.

Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor.

God Bless America.

Remnants of the ship.

Another radical day winding down in Waikiki.

Board racks at Waikiki.

North Shore, Hilo and Kona coming soon.

Hawaii Adventure 1 - Kauai

2009-10-01T22:08:00.000-07:00

The day after arriving at BMacs we jetted over to Kawaii to hike the Kalalau Trail along the Napali Coast. 11 miles of climbing in and out of outrageous valleys. Insane time. Hiking the full 11 out in one 6 hour chunk definitely kicked my A*S!!

Here are some snaps.
Ready to embark, 50 lbs of gear to carry in. Here we go.
The trail looks a little ominous on the way in.
Bryan ready to go early on.
Packing in early on the trail.
Warnings about what to do with tidal water. This comes in handy during the Tsunami warning. Fortunately you had to watch really closely to notice it.
Short break on the way in. Gotta get to camp before dark.
Guava fruit.
Camp 1 in the Hanakoa Valley.
Hiked a couple miles back of trail to check out this giant waterfall.
The most refreshing swim EVER.
The trail cutting across a ridge.
Bryan takes a break next to one of the giant palms.
Look off in the distance. That beach is our destination.
Incredible.
Another stunning view.
The final leg in. We made it to the valley.
Another gorgeous stream to wash up and grab more drinking water.
Last break before the beach.
The beach we hiked all this way for.
Looking back at our campsite from the beach. The shower and running water supplied from above.
Camp Kalalau. Thanks for the hammock Kirbs!! Was an excellent bed under the stars!
Beautiful sunset on an isolated beach. For better or for worse it was with Mac.
One of several gorgeous streams. Filter water, wash up and cool down.
This is what is considered a trail. Notice the lack of places to walk. Nice little drop in to the ocean.
Absolutely crushed and in need of a little R&R after one of the many steep valley climbs.
Of course the dryest hottest day was saved for the long hike out.
We made it out. Sore feet, a little smellier and tired of peanut butter sandwiches.

Don't look down.

Worth the hike.

Gorgeous

All growed up and sophisticated.

We deserved a drink after all those steps.

The happy couple.

Ciao Florence.

Rome…yes?…continue

2008-12-03T00:54:00.001-08:00

The first thing we saw in Rome. Incredible.

Incredible.

"Hey Megan"
"Yeah Palmer?"
"Did you see that ridiculously old stadium behind us?"

It's just so old!

When in Rome! (Guess you all saw that one coming) Drink a giant mojito in the Trastevere.

Awesome obelisk that the Romans stole from the Egyptians. Stands in the center of Piazza del Popolo.

View of the city from over the piazza.

Look closely and see me chilling on some very old ruins that overlook the piazza.

Palm trees cast shadows on the buildings surrounding Piazza di Spagna.

Via Condotti and the Spanish Steps.

Flippin old and amazing. The Pantheon.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

2008-11-27T10:03:00.000-08:00

Bonjorno from Italy! Today were not having a home cooked Turkey dinner with the family... but don't worry... we are not going hungry thats for sure.

Hope everyone is enjoying the day. Were missing our families very much and hope you enjoy the meal (eat some potatoes and stuffing for us). We will be at a Carnivale Show and then having vino and pasta in Venizia but still Celebrating Thanksgiving in spirit.

Salute!
Megan and Palmer

Wine and cheese in our room before Thanksgiving night out.

Catching up in Hamburg!

2008-11-19T03:50:00.003-08:00

I am a bad blogger lately. Here is a quick catch up from the last couple weeks.

BMW Experience in Munich. Had a meeting there for work. Group party with all the Central Europe Interbrand offices. Makes me want a Beamer!

Visit to the new Munich office, nice space!

Party that night with all the people. The masks didn't last long.

Megan enjoys taking pictures of Franny and me in her spare time.

Sometimes she enjoys abusing Franny and me.

Popular Grosse Freiheit in Reeperbahn, home of strip clubs, concert venues and where the Beatles got their start.

Picture from The Streets concert. Awesome show. Better than expected.

Post Streets concert. Megan was ecstatic she loved it, I think she may really have just loved him.

Chugging post Streets.

Who is that? Crazy Red Bird Lady! Halloween in Hamburg.

Not much creepier than a random dude wearing a clown mask.

When ze Germans don't celebrate Halloween, you just have to make your own celebration. This calls for some bubbly.

Megan and the German ladies before we hit the Reeperbahn.

Another group photo. I think we were the only ones dressed up on the entire street. The rest of the people seem to dress like it is Halloween all the time.

Megan and Emma all bloodied up.

Megan loves harassing DJs.

A beautiful rose for a beautiful bird lady. Sorry my camera has a sticky lens cap thingy.

Emma's friend who lives on the Reeperbahn, not even going to try to get his name right. Good Times!!!

Wow! It is even creepy when a lovely young woman tries on the mask!

The 8,000 stairs we had to climb to the club where we saw Vampire weekend. Megan really, really enjoyed the show!

Shot of the guys on stage. I enjoyed it. Megan, not so much. Apparently she doesn't find being stuck in a small loud room with smelly young Germans pressing and pushing against you much fun. Not sure what her problem is.

Prague

2008-10-31T01:55:00.001-07:00

Inside the Apartment Skoropky. Nice little flat, directly in the middle of it all. Cheap too!

Apartment bathroom.

Megan makes herself out home by loading her entire wardrobe and shoe collection into the closet. Never no what you might need on a 3 day weekend!

The enchanting streets of Prague.

At the base of the Charles Bridge with the castle as a backdrop!

My turn!

Old Town Square.

The astronomical clock in Old Town Square.

Megan on the square.

Me outside of the famous Czech writer Kafka's museum. Don't ask me what the relevance of a peeing statue fountain is???

Strapped in, awaiting flight on a giant helium balloon. Sounds safe enough.

Megan was a little nervous!

Just happy to be alive.

View from the top.

Its all so beautiful.

Megan gets a little more comfortable.

Fear of heights conquered, Megan stops to take a snap with the Captain.

The red roofs that dominate the castle side of the river.

Modeling for my future marble statue.

Megan poses for her likeness.

Heading out, quite the all night atmosphere in Prague.

Finally were in the same pic.

We be clubbin!

Out at our favorite spot. Chapeau Bar.

Megan took me to school on the Chapeau table football. I am ashamed. Not sure what happened.

First real night in the mental Reeperbahn

2008-10-30T02:14:00.000-07:00

Sausage stand for all your "worst"!

The people filled streets.

Megan with some of the girls from the office. Hello Emma and Kristin.

Things get a little sloppy. Reeperbahn is insane until 6 am.

Hamburg

Canal in Hamburg near the office.

Boats in Harbor City. All the old warehouses in the background.

More Oktoberfest Munich

2008-10-17T22:08:00.000-07:00

The empty fair grounds at 7:45 in the morning as we strolled in for our day of festivities!

Typical Bavarian beir tent.

Our home for the next 12 plus hours, Hofbrahaus. No, that is not in Newport, Kentucky.

Doors open at 9 the mad dash to secure a table ensues.

The team.

9:15 the hall is filled.

"We're probsting, were probsting"

Where the beir flows.

Some Oktoberfest pics!

2008-10-07T02:26:00.000-07:00

Unbelievable! Madness, the mayhem that ensues to gain entry to the Hoftbrahuas tent is incredible. Pictures of the tent to come (still trying to get internet at the apartment, harder than it sounds here in Germany). We were in line before 8am for 9am entry. Chugging giant liters by 9:30. We held on until after ten when we decided it was necessary to change venues and get another beir!

Lora in a "candid" shot with some of our Kiwi neighbors!

Sweet dirndel!

One of our group Kurt smashed with one of the Aussie's. We were happy to be surrounded by friendly Aussie and Kiwi faces instead of the Italian guys and their Prada sunglasses.

Apparently this girl just likes to be in pictures.

How does Lora look so much more composed than me?? Nice pose!

Kurt meets a guy with lederhosen!

New flat!

2008-09-21T10:37:00.000-07:00

Here are a couple of pics of the new flat in Hamburg. It is in Altona Nord, near a cool neighborhood called Schanzen and not far from the Reeperbahn which is supposed to be the hot spot for going out and getting prostitutes in the Red light district.

Train and bus are just around the corner and the commute to work is not long. The flat is the top floor of a newer building with an elevator. Fairly large but sort of a studio layout. Big bathroom and some hallway space. Floor heating and all the modern amenities. Pretty nice all and all.

The main room.

Another shot of the main room. The place is sublet so all the necessary furniture and household items are already here.

Living room with the kitchen at one end.

Sweet bathroom!

The nicest part is that it is already decorated. Which includes my favorite part, this giant poster of a half-naked man seducing what I can only assume is another man. I mean I really don't actually like it at all.

Opening day Rugby Union…

2008-09-17T10:49:00.000-07:00

with MLove and the IB crew. This was before I moved.

The crowd heading into Twickenham, also known as "HQ" to those English rugby fans, for the first day of the season. The event, the annual London Double-Header. 4 London based teams.

HQ from the outside. Entering to watch the London Wasps v the London Irish for part 1. I chose to support the Wasps.

Inside the Wasps get beat all over the pitch like a couple of school children. Oh well we still have next match.

MLove bringing back the first round.

Me and the IB girl rugby go'ers, Georgina and Amy.

On the way out after the Harlequins destroyed the other team I chose. I house a Boerewors, South African sausage! Scrumptious!

There was a lot more after that fortunately that is all I documented.

UPDATE!

2008-09-15T08:05:00.000-07:00

Many of you know but some of you may not. My European tour is crossing the channel to the mainland for the rest of 2008! Tomorrow morning I board a flight to Hamburg where I will work at the office there.

Common questions:
Q: Do you speak German?
A: No, and I am terrible at picking up languages. Should be interesting.

Q: Why Germany?
A: The opportunity arose and I said why not!

Q: Where is Hamburg?
A: North and central Germany. It is a large port town with many lakes and rivers that snake through the city connecting it to the North Sea.

More posts and ridiculous adventures of Hamburg and its famous district the Reeperbahn to come!!

Dan & Grady do London

2008-09-14T08:26:00.000-07:00

We meet the first of many of Dan's new British friends outside the Crown pub. He really liked those guys.

Don't worry it's okay, it's London you can urinate wherever you want.

Does anyone know which stop you get off for Stonehenge.

Grady and I at his first Chicken House experience. The always open Tennessee Fried Chicken, not to be mistaken with the Colonel.

The beginning of a beautiful friendship. Dan meets Michael Love the Interbrand HR guru. Note do not sit next to Grady at dinner, he may assault you with condiments.

Grady with George the other Interbrand HR guru and another one of Dan's best friends.

Two clowns gettin down in Camden Town.

Sorry Grady had to do it. This picture of Diamond White is to priceless.

Dan and Grady join the Interbrand crew for a night out at La Tosca.

Couple of handsome dudes.

A group of people Grady used to work with joined us. Randomly a girl named Lindsey, who is a frequent Bridgetown FIner Meats customer, and her husband were in town visiting. Small world. What's up BFM!!

Dan really likes Michael. He is going to Facebook stalk him.

Dan and his other BFF Georgina.

Dan takes more pics of Michael and George. Did I mention he really liked those 2.

The Ohio connection!

Dan this is starting to get a little weird.

Grady teaches these Brits how to dance with members of the opposite sex.

Dan meets random Irish guy after an embarrassing trip to Infernos on the High Street. This results in beers at his house and domination of the Irish by myself in ping pong. Really didn't need to stay out that late. Oh well.

Southwark Cathedral by Borough Market.

Best lunch in London. 3 pound roast pork and stuffing baguette from Hobb's Roast at the market. I will definitely miss that!

Stomachs full on roast we are ready to join the crowds as they begin to file into Upton Park for the West Ham v Blackburn game.

The pitch glistens on this beautiful match day.

Live action in this high scoring affair.

Another shot of the park and its now defunct sponsor XL airline which just folded last week.

West Ham celebrates one of 4 goals.

Zoom in on the home supporters an interesting bunch of people. Real salt of the earth guys. Including a guy named Les but we suggested he spell it Lez when he is in the states.

The 3 Americanos post curry pre-party in Shoreditch. The beginning of Dan's photo happy night. I will heavily edit his overhead shots and shaky hands images.

Dan makes another new friend. I am just glad he may have moved on from Michael.

One of Dan's ridiculous pictures.

Grady uses the line "do you have that word here?"

Dan makes another new friend. Really like that guy.

I think the birthday girl may have finally reached her limit on photos.

Time to get some roadies for the bus!

Wow that is embarrassing!

Notting Hill Carnival

2008-09-08T09:29:00.000-07:00

The packed streets of Notting Hill. One of Europe's largest festival. People everywhere.

One of the speaker systems or soundsystems as the Brits like to say set up on the corner pumping reggae and hip-hop.

The boys find a break in the crowd to do some sittin'. And tasting a couple of festive Red Stripes.

Some of the floats pass by another crazy busy street.

Another bumping parade semi rolls by.

Drew and Jody cruisin' the parade route.

Carnival and the adventure of the 3 amigos has come to an end. One more stop at the Chip shop and I can give myself 24 hrs rest. I need it. Good news is…

Grady and Dan arrive the following day. Right back on the horse!!!! Stay tuned for those ridiculous pics!!!

More from the dudes in London.

2008-09-01T10:38:00.000-07:00

The 3 amigos post curry out east on Hoxton Square.

Vince and NYCer/Londoner Amy with the Jodester.

I finally get that long awaited kiss with Norma, my 80 year old girlfriend.

A tower of Diamond White knockout juice ends a long night out east. Yes, I am aware that most 29 year olds gave up making beer-a-mids.

Just some guys having a couple before the big match. Decompressing after a free ride from a random stranger. A crazy girl whom almost ended our lives on a couple of occasions.

The crowd finishes their beers and files into the stadium for the first Fulham home game of the season.

Craven Cottage, by far the coolest stadium I have been in. Packed house for what was supposed to be a loss to Arsenal.

Action shot from our seats which were about 10 feet from the goal. Almost got our heads knocked off by an Adebayor laser.

Jody gets a shot with the mascot.

End of the match. Fulham pulls off an amazing upset to defeat Arsenal. Unbelievable game.

No Fulham are not the most racist team in the league. They just wear a white jersey and play a lot of Americans.

A crowd of happy fans departs the Cottage!

Post-game fish and chips before a night out in Clapham.

Now that is creepy and shocking.

Looks like we can get on board with that.

Now Scrumpy Jack is something I can definitely get on board with.

It is only customary for visitors to get their pics taken on the mini couch. Ignore the beer-a-mid.

That is still not all. So much to see. Notting Hill Carnival snaps coming soon.

Just a couple of dudes taking pictures in London.

2008-08-31T08:00:00.001-07:00

The boys take in some culture while I work. A nice shot of the ceiling at the British Museum.

Drew poses with a member of the Queen's Royal Horse Guard.

Jody makes another new friend. He would be so money if it wasn't for that creepy stare.

Look at the Americans.

A crew of Interbrander's out on the town with the gang.

Jody tries on the toro after a wash. Seems to fit a little different!

Some of the Interbrand crew heading out East. Curry time!

Plenty more to come. To many pics to weed through.

2 more days of Barcelona

2008-08-25T04:56:00.001-07:00

Sitges bi*©!es! A town and beach outside of Barcelona.

Hittin the beach. A dip in the Mediterranean was just what the doctor ordered after the night before!

A view of the town from our beach towels. I mean hotel towels. Best thing about hotel towels… you just leave them.

View from our table at lunch in Sitges.

We haven't had any pizza in a while. Outdoor pizzeria in Sitges.

Streets of Sitges.

Night shot of our favorite place to hang. Plaza Reial.

I hold court in Plaza Reial with my one Euro beer Estrella Damm!!

One of the lovely people we met in the Plaza. You can hang out outside all night and just buy beers off of the illegal beer sellers that roam around selling Estrella. Pretty awesome.

We finally move inside to one of the clubs Fellini on the Ramblas. We were coaxed by a free drink.

A commentary on what nights in Barcelona tend to feel like.

Jody hits the dance floor. Not quite sure how to describe that.

Back outside for some sitting. Holding court on the Ramblas.

This is Jimmy, he liked Barcelona so much he stayed. Not sure he meant to, he was just so high I think he forgot.

I have no idea what this fried little potatoey treat was called but at 5AM I was glad to pay a Euro a piece for several of them.

Sun is coming up! Time to go in.

Bedtime.

Just a couple of Americans tooling around Barcelona.

Introducing the anatomically correct Toro shirt!

Just three-dudes sitting taking a picture of themselves.

Gotic gargoyle.

St Maria del Pi, the Church of 3.14, wow that was a nerdy joke.

More amazing architecture.

More.

Glad to be back at the Barcelona Airport waiting for out plane.

I can only describe it like Vegas with culture but without the gambling and cheesy lights/decor. 24 hour scene. Exhausting 3 days! Ready to leave after that. Definitely want to go back.

The 3 Amigos go to Spain

2008-08-24T23:30:00.000-07:00

Jody's handwritten boarding pass. He was given this ticket after he forced his way through Gatwick security with a print out of the Easy Jet logo.

The Grey Shirt Gang takes to the Ramblas for the first night out in Barcelona.

Some of the amazing streets and architecture in and around the Barri Gotic.

Strolling the streets of the Gotic.

Jodester and his new lady friend. A random Cantalonian scooter enthusiast.

Along with camels Drew also loves smoking and Seattle.

The guys preparing to enjoy some tapas for lunch.

Our fare best enjoyed with a delectable glass of sangria.

The mussels were divine!

One of the vendors at La Boqueria market where the tapas restaurant was.

More from the market.

Some amazing tile work near the market.

The guys in Barri Gotic.

More amazing architecture. Everywhere you looked it was remarkable.

And more.

The harbor.

View of the cable cars and Park Guell designed by famous architect Gaudi.

Drew rides the lion at Monument a Colom.

Jody creeps out some French girls in Placa del Reial.

Enjoying fruity beverages at one of the many fine and authentic Irish pubs in Spain. Watching USA basketball dominate! I must have dropped that cigarette 50 times while pretending to smoke it.

Another long ride down the Thames

2008-08-11T12:28:00.001-07:00

Stopped to watch a film or TV show being taped. Some sweet dudes in sweet suits acting in a sweet fight scene outside of a taxi cab.

Stopped at the Tower of
London. A waste of money but now I can say I have been there.

More of the fortress. 16 pounds of my hard earned sterling to get in this uninformative heap of stone.

View of Tower Bridge from the Tower of London. Confusing, I know.

White Tower (hhhh racist) the oldest part of the palace. The place is full of history unfortunately they have not brought it to life in the exhibitions.

Tate Modern - Art Museum on the Southbank amidst the beautiful summer weather.

View from top of the hill in Greenwich Park, home of the Royal Observatory and Greenwich Mean Time.

A - MER - I - CA!!!!!!!

2008-08-03T10:52:00.000-07:00

A few snaps from the recent trip home!!!! Good times. Too short but much needed.

Mary and Meg tearin' it up at BlackFinn. Wow was that place disappointing. Oh well, guess I will still hang there every night when I get back!

Now that is a crew.

I think there was some drinking involved in this picture.

A little out of focus but still worthy.

Nati boys.

Monkeying Around

2008-07-19T15:16:00.001-07:00

A couple of monkeys escaped from the London Zoo.

Megs found it quite entertaining that we passed an old shop called Palmer's on the way to the Zoo. The funny part wasn't the name, it was the fact they sold talking parrots and monkeys.

Sweet gorilla!

Checkin out the otters.

Looks like one of the monkeys got out of it's cage. Seriously though, check out that dude doing a spread eagle. Poor little guy, no pun intended.

Check out this crazy Two Toed Sloth. "Hey you guys!"

Megan loves giraffes, who new???

Megan Yo-Yo's her way down the canal to Camden.

Beautiful canal shot. Ahhhhhhhhh.

Megan on her usual perch as she watches the master chef.

The highly skilled chef tends his sauce as Megan enjoys her bread and cheese.

This evenings menu, king prawn alfredo with peas and a couple of bottles of cheap red. Just to clarify that sauce did NOT come from a can or jar. That is homemade.

Portobello Market

2008-07-14T11:43:00.000-07:00

Megan is in heaven sifting through all the antique jewelry and collectables at Portobello Road Market. Totally engrossed.

The bustling market on Saturday afternoon. The streets and sidewalks filled with people. Most of them not from the London area. Tons of Americans and Europeans.

Shot of the old but well maintained and brightly colored shops along Portobello Road.

Megan STILL looking at jewelry.

We finally sifted through all the good deals at the market. Time for the park. Green grass and blue skies at Kensington Gardens.

Now were talking. A little vino to refresh.

Don't worry everyone I am still cold repin' the Nati hard when Megan and I sleep in cental London parks.

A Sunday in Camden Town

2008-07-13T12:03:00.000-07:00

Shopping on the High Street in Camden from cheap shades to music to food. Anything your looking for.

Beer O' Clock in Camden Town after the girls got their shopping time in.

Megan and Mary enjoying some sweet refreshing cider.

Megan and Mary pose for a sunset pic along side the Camden Lock.

Go AMERICA!!!!!

2008-07-04T01:47:00.000-07:00

The Freaking Weekend!

2008-06-28T12:51:00.000-07:00

Stepping out to the Kensington Roof Garden!

Megan and I pre-game photo at Toby's.

Megan, Toby, and Mary outside on the roof!

Late night stop at our favorite local. Tennessee Fried Chicken. Mary applies for a job as a chicken man.
Delicious!

The Common

2008-06-22T12:52:00.000-07:00

A beautiful day in the common. Everyone comes out to enjoy some rare warm weather and sunshine.

The Cricket

2008-06-22T06:02:00.000-07:00

Went down to The Oval after work Wednesday night to catch our first cricket match. This was a baseball style match that lasts about 3 hours instead of the normal 3 and 5 day tests.

Stumps, wickets and all that. Unfortunately the hometown team, Surrey Browncaps, didn't put up enough wickets to outlast the Hampshire Hawks. Schoey and the boys just didn't have enough in the tank.

Other match day news, the English really know how to transport beers around the stadium. Nifty cardboard carriers with handles allow you to carry 4 draft beers easily and safely.

Amazing!!

Megs and M Love the HR guru enjoying what turned out to be a real slog fest.

A little slow…

2008-06-21T06:30:00.000-07:00

Cooking! The Queen and Uncle Sam have teamed up to tar and feather my finances so things have been a little slow.
Didn't want to neglect the blog so instead of the normal pics you get…

MAGIC MIKE'S MAGIC TURKEY CHILI

That is right, I am proud of my first ever made from scratch pot of chili. Which was able to feed me for 5 straight days. It was a nice break from the all Honey Nut Cheerios and Special K diet.

Riding the River

2008-06-01T04:47:00.000-07:00

Yesterday I took a very long bike ride along the South Bank of the Thames. Around 40 miles round trip. Pretty amazing, passed things like: Big Ben, The Eye, Tower Bridge, Shakespeare's Globe, The Mayflower Pub, Greenwich, Canary Wharf, The O2 arena, the London flood barrier, and more.

Here are a few snaps of what I encountered.

Wembley!

2008-05-31T08:12:00.000-07:00

England v USA!

I will leave it at this. It was just exciting to see a national team game at Wembley Stadium

Highlights, Beckham honored for his 100th Cap. Kelly Roland singing the National Anthem, the English sound guys ruining Kelly Roland's National Anthem and then playing the English Anthem crystal clear, and Onyewu hacking Rooney to death.

We were out classed and out performed by Englands first team but the US section was full and pretty loud. Go A MER I CA!!!!

Beaches? In England?

2008-05-30T11:39:00.000-07:00

A great trip with the folks down to the Southwest of England. Enjoy!

Where it all started. A pretty impressive sight, I don't care what anyone says. These rocks are old, they're so old. How did they get there???

The Royal Crescent in Bath, a nice little spa town just west of London.

A "lovely" little bridge in a "lovely" little town.

Nice little castle and moat in the medievil town Wells.

Very cool little port town called Padstow. Good times on Saturday night.

Moms and Pops enjoying celebrity chef Rick Stien's Fish & Chips. Damn good fish & chips. Unfortunately our friend Rick seems to have bought up the whole town.

The coast, complete with beach and surfers.

Pops and I at Lands End. The furthest South and West that you can go in the UK.

The amazing coast at Lands End.

Mileage from Lands End. Helllloooooooo Brooklyn!

The lovely town of Looe. Funny… it doesn't look like a toilet.

Sorry about the bad British humor before. This is still in the Looe.

The rolling country side of Devon.

A few snaps from a rare and beautiful day in London!

2008-05-30T11:20:00.000-07:00

Most of this was taking on the Tate to Tate Museum boat trip with the folks. They really lucked out the whole month with weather. Here is one of those days. No descriptions necessary!

Sunny and 24º

2008-05-16T01:29:00.000-07:00

Celsius! A little footy and a few beers in Battersea Park!

Every man dies, not every man really lives.

2008-05-10T05:33:00.000-07:00

Scotland!

Evening sun on Edinburgh Castle.

Shut up and eat your haggis! A Scottish tradition, I had to try it. Sheeps pluck - heart, liver and lungs mixed with some more edible things like onions and oatmeal. Surprisingly like goetta! Who new?

Edinburgh Castle. Old, very old. William Wallace and Robert the Bruce statues out front.

Me and some ruins of the Cathedral at Hollyrood House Palace. The Queens residence when she summers in Scotland. Must be nice.

Took a little hike to the top of the craig that over looks the city. Great little hike with an amazing view of the city and castle.

Photoshop CS3 is sweet. It automatically creates panoramic montages. Amazing. Damn I am a geek.

A night of drinking with Mom & Dad is always a good thing. The White Hart Pub (claims to be the oldest in Edinburgh) was the setting for some live acoustic covers of classics like Roger Miller's King of the Road. Long walk back to the hotel when they decided it was time to shut down. Good times.

Eilean Donan Castle near Loch Ness. Pretty sweet, but would have been sweeter if the tide was in.

Kilt Rock on the Isle of Skye. Looks kind of like a kilt and its in Scotland. Weird.

The harbor at Portree in Skye.

Fishing boats at the harbor in Oban back on the mainland in Scotland.

The harbor town of Oban.

Shaggy haired Highland Cows. Hippy freaks, get a hair cut.

George Square, Glasgow. A train back to London for me while Mom and Dad travel south through England and Wales before heading back to London.

Great trip, glad I was able to take a trip like that with the folks again. Just like when we were kids. Hope you enjoy the rest of yours Mom and Dad!!

Sand, Sunshine and Cocktails

2008-05-01T15:14:00.000-07:00

Megan makes first contact at the ocean.

Sweet specs my dawg.

Delicious fruity beverage.

"Come to my club it's the whip, 2 free drinks and 2 free shots!"

Ahhh yeaahhhhh!! Soaking up the sun.

Mesopolamas dunes! Miles of nothing but blazing hot sand!

And you thought the sand was hot!

Mad dunes!

Gotta make it to the top!

Drop that beat!

Party time at discotec Ozono.

English, German, Portuguese, Spanish OZONO!!

More pics of dunes and Megan.

Can I offer you an ice cold Tropical on this toasty April day?

Beautiful lagoon at Playa de Amadores

Anyone for a refreshing dip in the lagoon?

Cruisin' down the street in my sweet Yaris!

View from the windy Pacific Highway like roads along coastal Gran Canaria.

We stop again along the curving mountain road. Megan's turn to drive, hold on!

Megan stands on a little taste of the miles of off road track conquered by that sweet Japanese machinery.

The Yaris couldn't quite cut it down the mountainous pass to Playa del Veneguera.

All for the best, as Megan stands on our rocky isolated oasis of Playa del Asno

Looks like I have had enough sun. Time to go.

Hope we can get out of here! "Where are we?"

New Hat Design!

2008-04-30T15:26:00.000-07:00

Check out the latest piece of apparel!

Birthday Weekend in London

2008-04-13T14:30:00.001-07:00

Megs and I at Shunt in the tunnels under Tower Bridge.

Some of the work gang. Ruthi celebrated her birthday on Friday night and we toasted for mine at midnight! Red Stripes all around.

The Frenchmen Vincent and I enjoying some beverages.

A view of the bar. Shunt apparently means something about moving trains around. Very cool space.

The 2 Scotsman Mike and Kirk displaying what should not be confused with a peace sign.

Megan gets dolled up for my birthday dinner out. That dress really helps with the ambiance at dinner.

Look at the happy couple after dinner at Mooli in the neighborhood. A great Italian feast. Thanks Megs!!

Poppin' the bubbly after a great night out!

WHITE HART LANE!! CHILDHOOD DREAMS COME TRUE!!

2008-03-25T12:46:00.000-07:00

Tottenham Hotspur v Portsmouth, first match ever for both Steve and I, absolutely amazing. Dan, I hate to admit this, but due to Fulham's demise, I think I have permanently moved on to your beloved Spurs for my London based team.

6 rows up! Unbelievable!

HotSpur!

Crazy weather day, snow for 10 minutes, sunshine for 10 minutes.

Spurs celebrate after their second goal.

Steve celebrate the purchase of his sweet new Spurs pin with two sausage rolls. Delicious.

I may have been as excited about seeing some kid 2 sections over rocking a CINCINNATI hoody as I was watching my first Premiership match. That guy rocks!

Easter Weekend!!!!

2008-03-24T11:53:00.000-07:00

Had a packed house this weekend just in time for the Bank Holidays. Steve, Lora Grady and myself took turns sitting on the World's Smallest Couch. We did some obligatory BS, a few Conjecture Tours and a lot of pub crawling.
Here is how it went down.

No it's not a doll house.

It really is that small, but amazingly folds out into a nice little bed.

Obligatory Big Ben,

Buckingham Palace…

what? Pubs are a obligatory element of English culture.

mmmmmyyyyyyyyeeeeeeellllllllllloooooooooooooooo

Chips anyone? I don't think I have had any for a couple of hours.

Gentleman… It's time. Chug -

-A-

-LUG!!

Just a couple of Big City Boys.

Holy sh*t is that Rick James out in Hoxton Square?

Another quality weekend! Thanks for visiting guys and helping with the blog material!

BRYAN MACWILLIAM'S WISHES HE HAD MY BLOG!

2008-03-22T13:16:00.000-07:00

Unfortunately Bryan could not celebrate St. Patrick's day in Dublin, he was busy celebrating with Craig Ruddy. You idiot!

Glorious + New!!!!!! Back online people!!!!

2008-03-20T12:20:00.000-07:00

Stepping out of the dark ages. My "flat" is once again cutting edge, minus luxuries like TV and microwave. Hey lets not get greedy.

St. Patty's Day, Dublin

2008-03-19T14:10:00.000-07:00

I got an idea…
Go to Ireland for St. Patrick's Day. Makes sense? Only they care about St Patty about as much as I care about figure skating.
One thing is evident, the Irish don't care what day it is, they will drink Guinness and party, especially if there is rugby on.
I spent about 36 hours in Ireland and couldn't tell you anything about it. Here is how it went.

Full Irish…

Pub #1

Pub #2

Pub #3

Pub #4

Pub #5

Pub #6

Pub #7

Because of "Power Hour" my photo journalism skills fell a bit behind. No more pub front pictures.

TIME GENTLEMAN…TIME!!!

Steve stealthily enjoys our 300th Guinness.

The Irish finally come out to celebrate in Temple Bar

Steve and I with our good friend Oliver St. John Gogarty.

Steve decides it is time we celebrate properly.

Lora serenades Steve… bringing him to tears and causing him to crumble like a shell of a man.

More from the Amazing Alps!!

2008-03-10T03:25:00.000-07:00

Mountains for miles. So much terrain to cover. It took us all 6 days to really cover the mountain with very little overlap.

View of the "Eye" in Tignes, hard to get to but worth the climb to drop-in from there.

Checking our reflection in Gary's new futuristic helmet!

Tignes, the neighboring mountain and village that shares the slopes with Val D'Isere.

Yours truly jumping from off-piste back to the groomers.

Don't be fooled, look closely in the rock formation, a great powder day to find natural jumps off-piste.

Thanks to skier and photographer extraordinaire Craig for staying on the runs and snapping us boarders as we broke off trail.

Great week with a good group of peeps.It was pleasure. Hope to see you all soon, Rhona , Craig, Sal, Gary and Jules!

LAVOMATIC

2008-03-09T12:29:00.000-07:00

Colin and the boys back home secured a deal with Jean Robert to design tees for the new OTR restaurant.
The design was strong enough to have the restauranteur use it for his logo on menus and chef jackets.
Were hoping for the outside of the restaurant as well.
Check out the laundry inspired icons. Lavomatic is French for laundromat.

THE FLIPPIN ALPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SICK!!!!!!!!!!!

2008-03-09T10:14:00.001-07:00

The clouds rolling in below 3,656 meter Grande Motte. The tallest point in the range and the freshest powder bowl to attack. An amazing site to see.

Great view of Val D'Isere from the chalet balcony.

Sunny and beautiful on day 1. The weather was pretty nice too!

The only thing better than boarding, is drinking after boarding. True Apres-Ski!!!!!

The boys at the top of some runs. Jules on the left, ME!!, Craig on skis and Sal stylin' in red!

Traversing and dropping in some fresh powder off piste (thats out of bounds for you non-euro yanks)!!! I hate mountain pics, you can never see the scale and pitch of the terrain. If you look really close you can see 2 specs of skiers in the distance. Maybe that will help you see how sick that bowl was. Well worth the 30 yard walk out.

Craig gets things started at Le Graal!!! Our friendly neighborhood club full of teenagers.

Le Signal for the afternoon break. Beers and spaghetti bolognese outside in the sun! Spag Bol as the Brit boys like to call it.

Full on Spag Bol and beer. Time to put up the bandana and go!

THIS BLOG IS BEING A PAIN, I GIVE UP FOR NOW, MORE TO COME FROM THE ALPS LATER!!!!!!!!

SUPPORT THE STREETCAR

2008-02-29T10:36:00.000-08:00

Support it, I need my property value to go up!!!!

Technical Difficulty

2008-02-27T12:37:00.001-08:00

Things may be a little slow for a couple of weeks. My 5 year old laptop is officially dead. Still exploring ways to resuscitate.
Please bow your head in a moment of silence.

An Extra week in LondonTown for Megs

2008-02-27T11:59:00.000-08:00

Megan extended her trip and spent a weekend in London. The results were smashing. Good times all around. Here are a few highlights.

Valentine!!!! and Birthday girl!!!!!!

The flat may be pretty empty but we still filled it with good times. Champagne to finish the night after a good dinner at Grafton house and drinks at Megan's favorite Inigo!

The first trip on the London Eye. You know the giant Ferris Wheel. I think the pods turn into boats and float.

The view from the top. Stunning.

Burning down Camden Town!! That isn't that funny since half of it burned down while we were in Paris. The damage wasn't too bad. Still plenty to see and do!

Farewell Megan. Can't wait 'til next time.

Partying in Paris

2008-02-16T02:59:00.000-08:00

The nightlife!!!

A small little club in the 6th, St Germain. A cellar club with a good mix of music which Megan very much enjoys.

Same club. Awwwww.

Megan and Vince stop to pose at Mix. A very expensive but nice super club. Full of young little Eurotrash kids. And a creepy painter man. All and all a hilarious destination.

Shot of the DJ booth and dance floor at Mix. The layout and design of the place was pretty impressive. Not sure it was worth the 20 euro entry fee!

Enjoying one of the many outdoor cafes on our last night. This one was in Les Marais near the hotel and Place de Vosges. Great little shopping area on Rue de Bourgeois.

Paris Day 2

2008-02-15T15:23:00.000-08:00

Another gorgeous day in Paris. Sleep in, recover, eat some breakfast and go!

The Metro - not the nicest but it works and the graffiti is sick.

A view from the top.

Sharing the moments.

Le Arch De Triomphe. I never new you could go to the top of this. Weird. Remember European vacation when they drove round and round. Hilarious.

It's all so beautiful.

Paris Day 1

2008-02-15T15:01:00.000-08:00

Bonjour!

Yeeeaaahhhh!!!! Eurostar to Paris with the lovely Megan. What an amazing place. Hotel Des Archives in Le Marais was a killer homebase. The morning train was the start of a great weekend with full days and long nights. Can't wait to go back!

Notre Dame is absolutely incredible in person. The photos from Art History class do it no justice. Neither does this one. But it is on here anyway.

The Louvre is gigantic. You could spend days here. Just walking the grounds is inspiring.

Euro…very, very Euro. A ridiculous self portrait for everyone to make fun of.

Sweet art shot of the Louvre. A great reflection on the two styles of architecture.

The hotel. Great place, very large and clean for Paris. The shower was incredible.

Natural History Museum

2008-02-03T11:13:00.000-08:00

In my on going effort to soak in as much culture as I can, I stopped by the museum last weekend to learn something about dinosaurs and mammals. It will definitely take another visit to see the other sections.

I fought my way through a bunch of miserable little British brats and families to see a somewhat disappointing dinosaur display complete with a Chucky Cheese style, life size, anamatronic T-Rex. Oh well. The building is pretty amazing!

In da club!

2008-01-27T05:30:00.000-08:00

OOOOeeeeeee! Tearin it up at Loop by Oxford Circus.

Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese - Not a Joke

2008-01-27T05:24:00.000-08:00

This is the real name of an old pub. It's title does not do it justice. The place is very cool and old. It's so old.
Definitely on my list of places to go for a pint.

Knights Templar and Barristers

2008-01-19T10:28:00.000-08:00

Checked out the Temple Festival today. Unprecedented access to the grounds of the Temple area. The area was started by the Knights of the Templar and later became the location of 2 of the 4 Inns of Court. The area has one the oldest churches and some very old buildings which have housed some amazing historical people and events.

Inside of the Royal Courts. Hopefully I don't have to go back there. Fingers crossed.

Temple Church built in the 1100's. Might have scene it in the Da Vinci Code.

Dead Knights whose remains were originally buried inside the Church. Warrior monks from the Crusades.

Inside the Inner Temple Hall. Hall for important dinners. All barristers must attend several dinners here a year.

Outside of Barrister Chambers some of the oldest buildings left in the area. Somehow survived blitzkrieg bombings.
Used in movies quite often.

SATURDAY MORNING START

2008-01-19T10:21:00.000-08:00

Best sandwhich in Clapham. Only available some Saturday mornings. Not sure what the schedule is but when the pig is out on the spit nothing is better. Definitely the way to start the day.

Up to speed…

2008-01-16T13:49:00.000-08:00

The previous posts should bring this thing pretty much up to date. I will try to make regular postings of the people and places along the way of this adventure. Check back often to stay connected.

PS - This is no PorkchopExpress.com, but I guess it will do. If this blog thing was all the rage 6 years ago it would have made that whole fiasco a little easier.

Until next time…Take care of yourself and each other.
Stay Up.

Brick Lane in Shoreditch

2008-01-16T13:39:00.000-08:00

Very cool area. Good shops and bars in East London. 20 minutes Tube from my hood and the late night bus that passes through the real hood of Brixton is not too bad and takes 40 minutes. You don't seem to notice the time after 12 pints.
