tasty blog snack

This past weekend we spent in Austin, Texas filming for AT&T. On one of our stops we visited the Cathedral of Junk.

I had no idea what to expect but basically the name says it all! It’s a huge tower of over 20 years of junk cemented together.

Here’s the entrance with Karen and I walking towards it.

This is such an interesting perspective of all the random objects that have gone into creating this crazy masterpiece.

A creepy little man statute inside the cathedral.

Playing with our phones on a throne made of more cemented trinkets. This also may come as a shock to you, but I might have fallen in love with that Motorola we were using in the show. Help!

Nearing the top!

Here is the very top and the newest addition. Vince Hannemann (the guy who built) said that you can barely see it from the front of the road.

This is the probably one of my favrote things I saw.. this little step that says “Step up to be tall.. sit down to be small”

Horsey! I was a bit nervous I was going to break those springs.

So much fun! If you’re ever in Austin, I suggest checking out this place for yourself. It’s really unlike anything I’ve ever seen. Karen also wrote and posted a video of from her perspective. Check it!

When Junior Mints attack.. it’s never a pretty thing. The typical scenario is a box that accidentally finds it’s way open into to your purse. Yes, guys.. I’m sure you have this problem all the time!

Anyways, this isn’t the first attack that I’ve had. If you remember back in January, this video is the result of one of these attacks.

No only did it ruin one pair of earbuds.. but 2!!

Last week while I was in San Francisco I made a trip up to visit this cute little store Zeny’s Boutique that I found online (actually found them via twitter) I love the internet! They are really into social media so I was quite excited to go visit them.. and they have some really cute clothes.

Anyways, here’s a little video of my trip and trying on way too many outfits.

While I was there they offered to give away some Ed Hardy gear for one of my random contests! So, here is the photo for the caption contest. Best caption for this bus on top of another bus wins!

1..2…3….. Go!!!

This contest ends on Halloween (yes, the same time as Supernote). At that time I’ll announce everyone who has won these past few contests and get your treats sent out the following week. Party!

Yesterday I went to a “Rock The Vote” event with Intel at the Esquire ultimate bachelor pad. This place was unbelievable and pretty much everything in it was unnecessary. (Sky dress by Zeny’s!)

I mean, they had toilets that have more options than a remote control. In the back yard is an art piece that detects movement then records it for playback on a little screen built-in (I forgot to take a picture, ah!).

One of the showers was the size of my first apartments. The master bedroom was lined with an entire wall of glass that opens up to a deck huge deck and an amazing view of LA.

There were a lot of celebrities there but my favorite find was Aly and AJ . A fair portion of my youtube comments are “Hey, you look like AJ (or is it Aly?) and I never knew who they were until now. So, youtube commenters — this photo is for you

Red carpet.. ooooo

Oh and look.. Obama and Palin made an appearance too!

View from the above deck.

This weekend we are heading to Austin to shoot more fun stuff for our AT&T series. Karen and I are going to be participating in an improv event called “Stool Pigeon” at Coldtowne Theare and we’re inviting anyone in the area to come hang out and check it out.

Details are as follows:

Date: Saturday, September 27th
Time: 8pm
Address: 4803-B Airport Blvd. Austin, TX 78751

Hope to see you there

So, there’s this little contest held by Rhett and Link on youtube to see how long you can hold a single note. It’s pretty easy to join in.. all you have to do is make a little video of your supernote then add it as a response video to mine (and yes, that would mean you are on my team ;)).

Rhett and Link will be adding all of the supernote times together and picking the team with the longest combined note on Halloween.

..and yes, this is a really crazy idea — that’s why I’m participating

Uh oh! Looks as if some people have been getting the metal prongs on the iPhone 3G USB adapter stuck in outlets.

Today Apple announce an exchange program for those with the affected adapters which were supplied with all iPhone 3G’s in the US, Japan, Canada, Mexico, and several Latin countries.

If you have an adapter with a greendot, these are not the ones being recalled:

You can exchange it for a new one in the following ways:

• Order online and will ship starting Oct 10
• Exchange at an Apple Retail Store starting on October 10.

I’ve been looking for some pictures of these things stuck in outlets, but haven’t found one yet. Let me know if you come across any!

This morning I had a little IM from Desiree with a link to this question on Yahoo Answers. I about died laughing reading all of the responses and it definitely made my day. I hope it’ll make yours!

To enjoy the amazing answers to this question, view them here. There will be no disappointment — Promise!

I’m quite excited to review this tasty new Nikon D90 — but this isn’t the entry I’ll be doing that in. I’m just quite overjoyed and had to share this wonderful unboxing photo taken from my iSight.

It’s been over 2 years since I had my Canon kit + lenses (and another $10,000 of equipment) stolen. That’s kinda when I gave up on photography and turned mostly to video… but with this little guy, I can have the best of both worlds!

Oh, what’s that?? A DSLR that does video? Yeah, it records 24fps and up to 720p HD. I’ll post a few preview videos up here this weekend for you to check out.

I’ve almost always shot with Canon’s so this is all new.. come learn with me

(on an iPhone? View video on YouTube)

I’ve been so busy these past few weeks shooting for pluggedin — I’m going to be hosting their new music show that will be launching sometime in October. I’m so excited because it’s definitely way different than anything I’ve been doing. Plus, I’m getting back into my love of music which I sorta gave up when I became obsessed with the internet.

We’ve been running all around LA these past few days shooting in crazy locations. It’s great because I definitely do not know my way around the city at all so I’m learning a ton in the process.

Making faces at Sushi on Sunset (Sky dress from Zenys :))

Gizmo was there too!

Chilled with some ducks in Echo Park. Our director, Patrick also dropped his keys into the lake just as we got there. He never got them back..

Went to China town..

…and I bought this on the street for the shoot — on sale! $18! Ha ha.

Road a donkey on Olvera Street. I have a lot of amo.

Shooting at a skate ramp in Venice.

Do you want some soup? haha, this graffiti is awesome. Also note the little taco sticker. That was my favorite.

This is at the Town House in Venice. It’s one of the oldest bars in LA and used to be a speakeasy in the 30’s. It’s really awesome. Can’t wait to show you the video from here.

Interviewed Matt Nathanson yesterday! I didn’t know who was at the time, but his music is really good (I’m a new fan). I just got his latest album from iTunes “Some Mad Hope”. A few people on twitter also told me to check out his older stuff as well.. still working on that!

Last but not least, I’ll be posting an entry of all the winners for the random contest I’ve had floating around this past month. That includes the toilet caption contest, guess which Apple Store I’m in, and the Apple Store same-shirt contests. I also have a few new ones coming up that I’ve partnered with people for prizes. Really excited to share that with you
