The TV show is proving to be harder to get going than doing Chinese math. It is coming and I promise that it won’t suck – well as much as I can promise. There are so many aspects of putting together a proper TV show that I never could have foreseen. It is all becoming painfully clear as to how much hard work goes into what we all go home, turn on the box, and mindlessly enjoy. The longer this whole process takes I believe will make the final product all that much better.
On the lighter side of all things interesting, We just got back from a desert trip, including my good friend from Hustler Clothing (just promoted to President by Larry Flynt) Eric Gullett. Now Eric, who recovering from surgery to his right leg was told by his doctor to go nowhere near a motorcycle, made the ultra-poor decision to accompany me on an expedition to find a fishin’ spot. Needless to say if you can’t see where I’m going with this, we ran out of talent at about 40 mph. nothing looks dumber than two dumbells lying in the dirt bleeding – far less than macho. Subsequently, motorcycle riding privileges were suspended and we were reduced to beer drinking, gun shooting and kiddy karting (max speed of 9 mph) for the rest of the weekend. I felt fine but Eric kept saying something about his leg hurting and busting open some stitches. I don’t know what he was talking about.
This past weekend there was a book signing at the Petersen Automotive Museum in LA. I took my two daughters there to meet Paul Grushkin – author of “Rockin Down the Highway”. It appears to be a good book with all the right ingredients. I’ve only thumbed through it as yet. Mike Ness from ‘Social Distortion’ was signing as well, he wrote the foreword for the book. A ton of people showed up for the books and autographs. A bunch of guys from the Choppers (Burbank car club), and the Sinners (Long Beach) showed up with their cars and bikes. It turned out to be a pretty good way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

Anyhow all’s good here. There’ll be more things coming down the pipe. Everyone try to be cool come New Years – be safe…. (Safe-ish anyway).
