Been so busy in January, haven’t had time to update my blog on the events. The first week of January was a Southwest “wanna get away” trip to Las Vegas with the guys. CES and AEE was our destination.
On the plane we noticed someone familiar who also wanted to “get away”. Little did we expect he would be flying on Southwest….
Thats right. Blow the Whistle…we met “too $hort”, a well known SF Bay Area rap artist. He was probably on his way to AEE as well.
Our first destination was AEE 2010. With little or no expectations, the event was better than we thought. Knew a few faces, didn’t know most. All in all, I got to get autographs and pictures of the bigger stars….
Asa Akira
Jenna Haze
Audrey Bitoni
Tori Black
Amia Miley
Eveiyn Lynn
Lexi Belle
and one of my favorites… Sasha Grey
Stay tuned for part 2, CES and part 3…. JAPAN!!!!

Picked up some new kicks. Air Jordan 6 Black/Varsity Red retro. Not 100% original colorway…but it’ll do. Still a decent shoe.

Happy New Year! I cannot believe a year has passed. 365 days ago, I was already halfway across the world on my way to Hong Kong and then to Japan. This year isn’t any different. Next week will be a trip to Las Vegas to check out the 2010 CES (Consumer Electronics Show) and AEE. For those who don’t know AEE, look it up :p
The following week after I will be leaving for Japan once again! Tentative schedule is Tokyo for the Auto Salon, Osaka, and a trek all the way out to Fukuoka. Most for business and hopefully have time for some exploring and shopping. A busy and exciting start for 2010!!!

James Cameron’s Avatar.
I missed Cameron’s panel at Comic Con this year and never saw any trailers for this movie. I went in blind with no expectations. Equipped with a 13 dollar movie ticket and some 3D glasses, I came out of the theater almost 3 hours later satisfied. Movie was filled with CGI special effects, which was done pretty well. Amazing lighting and visual angles, it makes you forget it is all computer generated. Being the first 3D movie I’ve seen since JAWs 3…. I’d say movies have come a long way.
I highly recommend this movie if you like sci-fi fantasy or are a James Cameron fan. James Cameron brought back the pre-Titanic excitement in his movies.

All the hype, and all the craziness for today’s release. It is pretty ridiculous how people craze over a pair of sneakers.
My acquisition of this sought after sneaker release started about 9pm online. Foot Locker, Champs, and Finish Line websites were being held up due to high traffic volumes. Foot Locker and Finish Line had splash pages that apologized for not working. Champs sports actually had a working site but was very slow. The AJ11 was published on the front page for purchase. After 2 minutes of entering my information, the check out page froze 5 times. After the 5th time I received a confirmation number, but no actual bill. I already had a feeling it didnt go through.
11pm rolled by, I headed out to my local mall where I had signed up on their security list for the 12am release with the mall security 3 days ago. I was on page 8 of like 15 pages of names. Luckily this placed me in the middle of the 300+ people that signed up. 40 degrees outside with a windchill waiting for mall security to escort 1 by 1 people to the store to pick up the store. Out of the 200 pairs expected, only 140 of them were accounted for in the various sizes. Fortunately for me, my size is not one of the more popular sizes as 9, 9.5, 10, 10.5, 11, 11.5 were sold out in a matter of 10 minutes. Long story short, I made my way up to the door and luckily the security guard called my name for the last pair of the last adult size. I was escorted with 2 other lucky crazed sneakerheads to pick up the last of the Space Jams for the night. By the time I got home, it was 2:30 am… 5 hours until work. Despite all the hype, freezing my ass off, and the price tag of the shoes….it was very exciting and rewarding experience as I had avoided the next morning full of violence, crowds and craze of this Air Jordan re-release.

Got around to changing the clutch on my car. Lost count of how many miles I had on the motor with this car, but I approximate about 100k + This is what was left of the clutch disc. The clutch was not slipping yet, but it was making some rattling noises. I am assuming it was trying to grab or the throw out bearings were worn. Special thanks to the Garageworks crew for helping on the install.

Picked up a new pair of beaters. AJF4 Cement. Not the OG design, but close enough. Don’t have to worry about ruining or creasing 500+ dollar shoes.

Picked up the re-release of the Air Jordan 3 True Blues. Suppose to be an Asia only release. I found it online for retail plus shipping. Good retro, seems like it is identical to the OG except of course for the jumpman logo. Now I just need JB/Nike to re-retro the Air Jordan 4 Cement/White and we are good!

Made my way to attend the SDCC 2009 on Friday and Saturday. From the stats, the attendance soared to about 125,000 people. CRAZY! Too much to talk about. I will outline the biggest highlights for me:
- Megan Fox (promoting Jonah Hex). Got about 3 feet from her. Too many bodyguards
- Olivia Munn (Attack of the Show G4 TV)
- Walt Disney Pictures – CRAZY promotion this year. Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland, TRON LEGACY!!! AIWL had a traveling prop exhibit. Actual props and sets were viewable at a remote location in SD’s downtown. TRON LEGACY had their awesome promotion with FLYNNs ARCADE at a remote location in SD’s downtown as well. A well setup 80s arcade with working coin ops and 80’s music. At the end, they kick you out through a concept art exhibit and the new Lightbike prop from the new movie! Free tshirts as well. AMAZING!
- Cosplayers! Met the regular usuals that attend all SW events and cons. Miss Christie Marie. She’s a huge Star Wars fan with a custom made Slave Leia costume made for her figure. Thats hot! Check out her youtube video interview here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_XYTA5SB6A
-LOST – final season and many cast members and the producers showed up to please the fans! I actually camped out on the lawn to get good seats for Hall H on saturday just to see them. DIE HARD. I don’t think I’d ever do this for anything else besides Star Wars.
- IRON MAN 2 – Downey JR, Favereau, Cheadle, and Scarlett Johanssen show up for their panel to promote the new movie for 2010! Exclusive trailer is freaking awesome!!!
Also partied it up at Hard Rock Cafe across the street from the convention center on Friday night. They hosted all the celebs and it was great seeing all of them. I will try to make this an annual event for myself. Cannot wait for the 41st event next year!! Enjoy the very fractional amount of pics I have uploaded :p
