Things I am Thankful for…

A couple years back a friend of mine, Jeremy Jones, posted a blog of things he was thankful for. His blog was inspiring and I decided to post a few things I’m thankful for. In a time when many folks are struggling it’s important to recognize all the things we are lucky to have…

I’m thankful for my dog Chief.  He passed away this summer but I was lucky to have him for 13 years…

Puddle of Mudd and the Nitro Circus music video

Here is the new Puddle of Mudd music video “Spaceship”. They asked Nitro Circus to come participate and we were game. It was not really our forte but we made the most of it! Look hard and you might see some of us…

TGR, Nitro Circus movie premiers and the SF Ski Fest

Its that time of year….I’ve been in the thick of fall movie premiers and other pre winter festivities. I started with the premier of TGR’s Re:session in San Francisco at the Palace of fine arts. The Palace of Fine arts is one of my favorite movie venues. Many times bars are involved with standing room only but this is a legit theater for your viewing pleasure.

Next was the Salt Lake City premier of the Nitro Circus DVD Country Fried. The movie was shown at the Energy Solutions center, the old Delta Center where the Jazz play. I must say the Nitro fans have grown significantly in the last year. The place was packed, way oversold and I’m sure not up to fire code.

After, it was right back to San Francisco for the SF Ski Fest. The Ski Fest is genius…San Franciscans can explore gear booths, different resorts and an unbelievable winter sale. On top of it all there is wine and beer tasting to loosen up the crowd. The event was a great success.

After all that I got to stop in Lodi on my way home for some skydiving….nice little reward!
