Well, the wind is looking to be off shore until Monday (can’t fly), so we hit up the Birch Aquarium yesterday.
Today was an interesting day…. Spike suggested me to Arcade Fire to gather up a posse and ride around them as they play at the Grammys. It’s a weird life….
So, I called the Lord Voelker, Mike Escamilla aka Rooftop and Simon Tabron to provide some chaos with me. Today, we met the band and did a run through.
The first run through, I ghost rode my bike off-stage and it almost hit a camera guy and they freaked out. I don’t blame them. Sometimes when you do dumb things there’s no escaping the fact that it was dumb. I apologize for my dumb-atude. I almost got kicked out before we even figured out what we were going to do….
The Grammy peeps stopped hating on me and let me carry on. We went through the song 3 or 4 times and they rocked my lame ass! Dude, I wish I had a ramp to throw down on! They make some serious energy come out of their instruments.
The day went well. We ad-libbed and things came together nicely. I’m wearing the helmet cam. The band is real and cool – makes me want to run into something at high speed.
I’m going to auction the bikes we are riding at the Grammys for Mike Vincent! I’ll hit the band up to sign them, and we will tag them too, so if you want something rad and to give to the good look for it on eBay soon!
Gianna came with me and sat next to Ozzy! He wouldn’t stop staring at her! heh heh..
Tomorrow, I’m getting my family up at 5am to meet Rooftop at the Perris dropzone. We are going to take a hot air balloon up to around 8 thousand feet and Roof and I are gonna jump out of it!
