Last night was OC Fair night with the Carpenter’s. Collin making faces, fat people eating deep friend foods, kids on leashes, elephant poop, deep fried Oreo’s, So Relax, “Jason Siu” in the stall next to us, a $9.00 hot dog and body pillows with $100.00 bills in an all over print. That was my fair experience, enjoy the pics.

This past weekend Kim, Shawn and myself took the 400+ mile drive up I-5 for a nice getaway in San Francisco. The itinerary for the weekend included spending time with great friends, eating incredible food, roaming around my favorite city in the States and getting down with some white water rafting on the American River!
After getting some well needed rest following a 3:00am arrival time, we took off for Union Square to grab some brunch at Sears Fine Foods. After brunch, we met up with one of Kim’s friends in the Fillmore area and then took of for Haight Street for some shopping and whatnot. We finished off the night with meeting up with a couple more friends and dinner at what could be the sketchiest looking place but greatest tasting Chinese food I’ve ever had at Fung Wah.

Saturday we finally had the chance to sleep in a little bit and then headed to the TL to grab some lunch at Brenda’s. Beignets, Po’ Boys, peach cobbler pancakes, egg and bacon tartine and some other stuff were on the menu and just like the rest of the meals, this was spot on.
After lunch, we took off for the Marina to check out the Wave Organ and the Exploratorium. From there we took off to Dolores Park for some window shopping, a visit to the Levi’s Workshop of course, some Bi-Rite Creamery action.
We finished off the night with an incredible meal at The House downtown where I managed to leave my camera at home so we could just sit down, talk shop and enjoy the food.
Sunday morning we were up well before sunrise to make the 120 or so mile drive to Auburn, CA to meet up with the crew from O.A.R.S. so we could hit the river! Although the water was freezing, the mid 90 degree temperatures made for an amazing day on the river with beautiful blue skies and mother nature all around.
Before we took the always lovely drive back home on Monday, Kim, Shawn and I stopped at another favorite spot, Borobudur for some Indonesian goodness! Soto soup, Nasi Goreng, Bami Goreng and more… never dissapoints!
As usual, San Francisco treated us great. A big “thank you” to Dantana Nguyen and Krisheila O’Campo for the hospitality, these trips wouldn’t be possible without you guys!
“In light of the recent release of the new Scion tC, Gurnade and Tjin Edition have teamed up to design their own interpretation of the new Scion coupe. Due to the newly fashioned sculpted roof, the car has been outfitted with wide box-like fenders, aggressive front fascia, and matching sideskirts. Although, the design doesn’t stop there! To complete the look, the roof was chopped nearly 4 inches, and the rear windows were extended to visually lengthen the car. Deep-dish wheels, Status Racing seats, harness bar, custom grille, Webasto sunroof, HID headlights, and slammed stance thanks to Air Lift suspension also add to the visual appeal and design.
This isn’t the first time that Gurnade and Tjin Edition have teamed up. Last year, Neil Tjin turned to Gurnade to complete his green 2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS. Gurnade will not be building this Scion for SEMA 2010. You will, however, see Gurnade all over SEMA this year. The guys are proud to say they will have five Gurnade designed vehicles at SEMA in three different OEM booths–some sporting custom parts, kits, and products. SEMA is still a few months away, so in the meantime follow Gurnade on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/gurnade and check out the soon-to-be launched site at www.Gurnade.com. ”

Yesterday Neil, Collin and myself took a drive up to Long Beach for the Spocom event. We weren’t sure what to expect but the turn out was actually really good with some really high quality cars out there. We met up with some people and talked about some projects we have coming up and harassed the Dannis Huang and the rest of the guys working the FIve Axis booth the rest of the time.
Anyways, on with the pics!
