my 36hr journey .

work it out, non stop!!

FRIDAY: i worked as johnny walker product knowledge at diamond kareoke in hacienda heights… it was weird because it was on a pleasure block - i worked at the door of a hostess bar, next to a naughty store and a deja vu. i was like, what am i doing here… i have to teach four year olds in ten hours! it was chill, because people who go in hostess bars are reluctant to take free drinks at the door, its weird but its just the demographic. i got off about 2am, poked my head next door at the strip club before going home… i slept for five hours and got ready for teaching.

SATURDAY: 945am im in northridge and i steach general kids art until 12… 15 kids on a sugar high who have the attention span of fruit flies… oh my god it was so crazy! but theyre awesome as usual! my boss form the night before called me, but then messaged me right after admitting that he was stilll drunk from the bar and wanted to know what he said to me. i lied and said that he thinks im spicy and he wants to have my baby, hahaha.

1230pm - 230 is advanced art/ portfolio prep art. some of my students have made some awesome things…even though the medium of the day was watercolor and, well, watercolor likes to give me the middle finger… i did what i can haha

430 - 730pm i taught my other class in koreatown… i forced my students to fill out the paperwork i made for them to think critically about their portfolio and weighing college decisions.

930 - 1230pm it took me an hour to get back to pasadena to change and fly straight to long beach to work at v20… i was working the door, which by the way it was freezing out in long beach! v20 wasnt bad i had a good time! beatfreaks performed (and they rocked the house!) and there was a shirt giveaway “my ninja” which was pretty cool.. i was stoked to get a free shirt but i think someone stole it, boo! so small world…. while i was at V20, i bumped into gracie “peachies” su, who is an artist on alivenotdead.com, and who i have met a few months ago at the la mixer. peachies is the girlfriend of daniel, whos company, ‘future rockstars of ameria (fr*a)’ was promoting the shirts at the club. grace’s boyfriends partner, another daniel, is the guy who hired me for my teaching job in la crescenta and ktown. which is why i say, la is friggin small!

9am - 3pm another 5 hrs of sleep and im upandattem painting until 3. it takes an hour and a half for me to reach san diego. i dropped my piece off at subtext gallery, and then have dinner with my wife #2, rica. i then went to robertos for carne asada fries and california burritos, and they totally dicked me because they charged me for avocado but didnt give it to me! i was pissed!!! i cant drive another hr and a half back to complain! oh well. haha

1030pm i came back from SD and the boys swung by bout 11pm to pick up their orders of goodness.i dont even know why im still up. but it was an amazing weekend full of work, play, people, and a crapload of gas haha. ill throw up the pics laterrrr
