This past weekend we went to the RPM / VWJamboree events in Irvine. Since the motivation level to write is pretty low I’ll give you a quick short word summary: cars, breasts, mud, girls with a dunk tunk/toilet thing and Dannee Huongle’s Scion xB. Alright, that’s all, enjoy the pictures.

“aLL STaR Performance is proud to announce their partnership with General Motors for the 2010 SEMA Show and the 2011 season.
aLL STaR Performance, led by Gene Marcel will be designing and building a truly unique 2011 Chevrolet Camaro SS, which will make its debut at the 2011 SEMA Show. Marcel and his team are no strangers to the car customizing world, having started out in South Florida in the late 90′s and now continuing in Southern California.

There are plenty of things to get excited about with this build, starting off with the rendering done by the Gurnade Design Firm. Gurnade was in charge of taking a list of ideas from paper and working their magic to transform it into what you see in the rendering.
The aLL STaR Performance crew has joined forces with some of the top automotive players, all of whose products will be incorporated into the final build. Some of these brands include Forgestar Wheels, Baer brakes, Falken Tires, Air Lift Suspension, Extreme Dimensions, Dupont, American Racing Headers, Lysholm Superchargers, Innovate Motorsports, Azentek, Status Racing, STACK, Autometer, Trent’s Trick Upholstrey, MagnaFlow Exhaust Products, Webasto, Ignited HID, Light WurkZ, StreetGlow, Metra, Image Dynamics, TechAFX, S.P.E.C, Royal Purple and Real AutoWorks.

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.
(Be sure to click the images for larger, tastier versions!)
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!
