Snow in late April?


It was a beautiful, sunny day yesterday.  Had to be in the 70's.  But it snowed last night.  Really?  It's late April.  I'm going to have to do donuts all day with my Jeep just to cause a bit more climate change.  It's cheaper than moving to a tropical Beach.

Real Ultimate Power: The Official Ninja Book

REAL Ultimate Power: The Official Ninja Book


A customer brought me REAL Ultimate Power: The Official Ninja Book a few nights ago.  She thought I'd appreciate it and I do.  It may be crude, infantile, and in no way factual there are still a few laughs to be had.  Example:

"Ninja's hang out in dojos (A lot).  Dojos are kinda like bars where ninjas go to relax and/or meet babes."

It's the kind of bad you can enjoy especially after a few beers much like God's gift to cinema - Showdown in Little Tokyo:


(Sidenote: Dolph Lundgren is a gigantic Swedish man standing well over 7ft tall so jumping over a low riding car carrying short Japanese people really isn't quite amazing as one would think.)

Had a few great shows last week one of which was Chali 2na.  Only got half the crowd we needed but you wouldn't know it listening to Chali 2na.  One of the coolest nicest guys (hell the whole band was cool) we've had through Hodi's and played his set like he was in front of a sold out crowd.  This is quite a contrast to someone like Anthony B who wouldn't even get up on stage and when a fan wrote him and called him out complained about how the rasta man has been enslaved by the white man for....yada yada.  Anyway, like I said Chali 2na is a stand up guy, made sure to hang with the fans before and after the show, was very humble and a damn good act to boot.  The openers were all good too, Heatbox is one of my favorite acts to come through Hodi's.  We lost a fair bit of money on the show but thats how things go sometimes.

I'm off to practice my Japanese, got a childrens book from my tutor today.
