Last kicks of the year…

FOR REALS. Couldn’t miss picking up these guys – The Def Jam’s were an early bday gift from my wife, the Cal Color P-Rod’s I scooped during a friends and family sale at Nike! ๐Ÿ™‚ No more shoes for me for 2009!!

Stand up!

I picked up this riser at the Apple store in Downtown SF. First time I’ve ever seen one in person (I’ve seen them on the net, but I hate ordering online if I can’t check fitment/quality personally) and it’s great. Perfect if you use your macbook for a lot of “desktop” type computing. This is will go great with my new Wacom and the bluetooth Apple KB Santa’s bringing me for Christmas lol.

Bay Area Bday Chillin…literally.

Just got back from a trip that my wonderful wife arranged to the Bay area (my favorite place to visit) for my bday – I always tell her we’re going to retire up there (Atherton/Walnut Creek Area) or Hawaii LOL so it’s a place I try to frequent as much as possible during the year. Also, for those that don’t know, I hate flying – so this is a drive-able distance that I don’t mind which gives us an opportunity to get away. Doesn’t hurt that we have good friends and family in the area as well! GO BEARS!

I joke that it was a bday dinner extravaganza weekend, but seriously- ย I’ve never eaten out so much in one period of time. On Wednesday nite (we left for San Fran the next day) we had Cheescake Factory. Friday we had Scotts Seafood and Saturday we had Thanh Long. That’s a lot of formal dinners out for me in a 4 day period LOL.

We took the leisurely way up the 101 and arrived at our Hotel around 5PM. We got settled then watched “The Blindside”. GO SEE THIS MOVIE. It will totally change your perspective on life – the story is incredible. After watching it, I thought to myself that if my biggest issue is the fact that I don’t have a Gallardo right now, life isn’t so bad LOL.

Friday nite, we metup with our good friends Kirby and Lisa @ Scott’s Seafood in Walnut Creek. I was presented with an official Fong$tyle shirt (Burberry Polo) for my bday – the starter kit for those that want to live Fong$tyle. Thank Kirb/Lisa!! ๐Ÿ™‚ Yes, I keeps it gangsta! hahaha.

The next day along with some shopping in Union Square – I stopped by The Hundreds on Post. Love their gear – scooped up a limited “Cal” Colors Adam hat. My niece and nephew will be happy – GO BEARS!

Sat AM Kirb took us to the infamous Santana Row…checkout the iPhone pic.

sr

haha – not a joke, apparently this was a “dead” day at SR. I joked w/Kirby since I’m 5 min from Cars & Coffee and we always have rows full of phat cars LOL. To make up for it, we dropped by Premier to check on his Gallardo.

If you take a close look at the pics – Premier covered some of the pieces with a new “satin” vinyl that is pretty sick, very “Revention-ish” as Kirby mentioned. Eventually the whole car will be covered in this satin wrap – should look SICK when complete.

Take a good look at the pic above – it’s what they serve in heaven. Garlic Crab from Thanh Long aka the original “Crustaceans” restaurant from the Ahn family. Quite possibly my favorite dish ever. Thanks for the bday dinner Ang/Mike!!

Kobe.

LeBron, stop dancing – start shaking hands and just witness THIS. Enjoying my bday weekend in SF, but had to post this up…

Good Fortune.

I’ve been blessed to say the least for sometime now, particularly as of late with fortunes (remember my last “4-wheel good investment” one?) – here’s the one I got today, on my bday…

LA Autoshow Media Day

Rolled down to LA to checkout the LA Autoshow Media Day – was disappointed initially because Ferrari and Lamborghini were no-shows (was really looking forward to seeing the 458 in person) but still ran into some good stuff…

IMG_0634_rev

IMG_0648_rev
BMW “Vision” Dynamics Concept Car – if BMW continues to make them like this, I may have to go back to my roots ๐Ÿ™‚

IMG_0683_rev
The new Mercedes SLC – doesn’t really do it for me, but had to shoot it. (Apparently this is actually called the SLS – goes to show how much I cared about it LOL, sorry Mercedes)

IMG_0741_rev
Fisker Karma – if you have to go “green” this is the way to do it!

IMG_0774_rev
Definitely not “green” – Veilside Bentley monster from Platinum Motorsport

IMG_0849_rev

IMG_0893_rev
2010 GTSRS – Definitely the business. I’m a total Lamborghini head, but this car is ridiculous.

IMG_0927_rev
World Release of the Boxster Spyder – a throwback to the 550 days, ultra lightweight -barebones, no interior door handles…so sick.

Some other solid cars I’ll post up later, time to get ready for my bday dinner! Not a bad way to spend my bday morning ๐Ÿ™‚
