BRINGING IN 2012

Monday, January 2nd, 2012

Childhood Friends. Evil Food. Koreatown. Margaritas.

There is one thing I am going to say about my New Years Eve this year.
Shots of Mezcal are EVIL.

Evy & Joe’s Wedding // The After Party Colorpalooza

Tuesday, June 28th, 2011

As if Joe and Evy’s wedding celebrations weren’t [already big enough] they had to go and throw an after party to end all after parties. Seriously, it felt like it was just another wedding reception, thats how big it was. The food was incredible, the band played all night, the colors were amazing and the bar was open. You know that last part made for an incredibly good time.

It was awesome seeing the decorations following a Mexico theme while all the girls were inside dressing in Saris from India. It fit the theme of the wedding, which was two different cultures coming together in one big celebration.

It was awesome. Again, since I was both a guest (enjoying that open bar) and part photographer, I wish I could have captured every amazing moment, but that is almost impossible in a Kory/Hormes party.

Enjoy!

Kendra Cooks! // Mother’s Day Dinner in Manhattan Beach

Tuesday, May 10th, 2011

My Mom comes to LA a little bit after Mother’s Day, so I was without family on actual Mother’s Day. Kendra, being the amazing person that she is invited me down to her house in Manhattan Beach for dinner. Her family had recently purchased a smoker and she was cooking up some pork that was SO GOOD I ALMOST CRIED. I am not really that great at food pictures (it is not my forte) so I couldn’t really capture the essence of the meal, but these pictures will be good enough. Wine was had and it was great to be surrounded by good food, good wine and a whole new group of awesome friends. Still though, I am excited to celebrate a late Mother’s Day/Birthday when my parents come next week!

Go Kendra!

Hurry up and be a chef.

Mark my words, my goal for 2011 is to get a picture where she isn’t making a face

Her backyard is ridiculous and I expect a velociraptor to come out at any moment.

20,000 // San Diego

Tuesday, April 26th, 2011

IMG 9681 e1303856130406 20,000 // San Diego

A few weeks ago I drove down to San Diego to hang out with two of my best friends from Seattle, Brian and Micah. The drive down was pretty ridiculous. I hit snow and the LA traffic on a Friday afternoon. On the drive down though, my car finally hit 20,000 miles. Now, this was a pretty awesome milestone because its taken six years for my car to get to those miles (I hardly drove in Seattle or San Francisco). I am glad to know that my car, named Artax, is finally getting the miles it so desperately craves.

Anywho, San Deigo with Micah and Brian was incredibly fun. Too fun for our livers actually. I am almost positive that if the three of us had a reality show we would be the most popular people on television. I won’t say much but a lot of it had to do with an inflatable bed, a see-thru shower, and a girl that worked for a sex toy company. My hangover that Sunday was so severe that I almost vomited all over the place at the San Diego Zoo.

Good times indeed.

A Surprise Karaoke Celebration!

8 e1303674493312 A Surprise Karaoke Celebration!

I am on a blog roll today! So most of my close friends know that I am not a fan of Karaoke. Probably the shy boy in me, but the last time I sang Karaoke I was in a sketchy bowling alley in Seattle singing Foreigner’s “I Want To Know What Love Is” (Long Island Ice Teas helped). I haven’t done it since then, but even though I don’t like to sing myself that doesn’t mean I don’t like to see my drunk friends doing it (while I take embarrassing pictures) .For JP’s Surprise Birthday Party, event planner extraordinaire Oscar rented a Karaoke room at some place in the Tenderloin (the name escapes me). Besides the overwhelming number of songs in Korean, there were a decent amount of good English songs as well.

There was an empty tequila bottle on the table, so you can imagine just how fun the night turned out too be.
