Log Cabin

Greg took Frank and I along with Julian to go check out the famous Log Cabin in Laurel Canyon.
Having Greg there was like having a hired tour guide just spouting off interesting facts and
rumors as we walked around on the property. Apparently, Houdini owned a house just down 
the street.


There was a giant dreamcatcher strung up in the trees.  Greg told us that Frank Zappa put it there when he owned the house at one point. 

The house is really strange inside. 

There's even a tree growing right through the roof.
Just outside and down the street is this mural.  Frank thinks that this hijacked iconoclast is meant to symbolize Rick Rubin, who owns the place next door.  I think he's right.

The entrance to Rick's mansion.  How inviting to the casual thrill seeker.

Jesse's Art Show

Headed out to Fullerton to check out Chapolito's new art. The place was called the Hibbleton.

Here's Jesse schmoozing it up with some random.

He had contests to win original art made by him. The first was a handshake competition. Next was a Chubby Bunny Contest. The guy on the right took home the prize. Motherfucker had a huge mouth. He could have easily fit 6 more in his face-cave.

Next was a saltine cracker eating contest, Chubby Bunny had made my mouth all chalky and Zaq won. Boo hoo.

The last was an interpretive dance competition. Everyone was pretty good. There was one crazy rocker dude who was dancing around, stopped dancing and then when no one was looking decided to try and drop kick a girl in the face. Maybe he was trying to dance? Unfortunately, i was able to the shittiest picture of a shitty situation. It funny to see everyone's face react.

This is the guy who won. I think his name was Michael.
