A little over a week ago, I noticed that The Sleepers posted the latest installment of Boogie Nights.
Boogie Nights 1.2 from ace carretero on Vimeo.
We here at The Bear Den are determined to not let this go unnoticed. Here are a few teasers for what we have in store.
Beat that Ace. Wait 'til you see the rest...
On a different note, I was driving home late last night and noticed that there was a crazy fire, next to my old office in Corona. Upon further inspection, I realized it was actually the next business complex over from ours. Seriously guys, the flames were 60-70 feet in the air. Here's to hoping nobody was injured.

Obey Cassette Tapes and Christmas Trees- In That Order.
[editors note: if you're waiting for the part two of yesterday's post, it will be posted later this afternoon. thanks!]
Last night our good pal Tom let us in a bit early for Obey's annual holiday sale. These things are normally packed like sardines, but luckily Tom was cool enough to give us a friends and family sneak peak.
This is probably the cleanest you'll see it; tomorrow it'll look like K-Mart on Black Friday.
$10 tees, price break when you hit 5 (5 for $40) and 10 (10 for $80). Pretty sweet deal, especially now during the holidays. Dolly, if you're reading this- you would have had a shopping meltdown. Couldn't remember the other prices, but I know jeans were $25 and most wovens were $30 and less. Fleece and jackets were pretty cheap too, compared to their $150+ regular retail price.
Tom directing traffic. Check out the overwhelmed look on Tones' face.
Can anyone say, "surplus?" Dolly, Courtney, Rachel- no worries. I bought one for each of you.
Sweet stuff at the sale, so I'll give it The Bear Den's stamp of approval. They're open from 8a-6p today, so don't forget. If you can, get there sooner than later, or all the stuff will be gone. Did I mention there were kids camping out front as we left? If only they knew Tom...
If you're not a regular reader of The Bear Den, you probably don't know that we have an affinity for cassette tapes. You see, back at our warehouse we have one of the last remaining tape decks still functioning this side of the Mississippi, so when we see an opportunity to but tapes, we do.
This whole box was [drum roll]......
ONLY A DOLLAR!!!!! BOO YEAH! DUDE! POISON!
Next it was off to find a Christmas tree, and who better to bring along than Jen With One N. If you don't know, Jen With One N is a nazi when it comes to shopping for trees. What should take 15, 20 minutes tops is an hour long escapade. If the lot only had two trees, she'd somehow make it on par with choosing which conjoined twin to save.
I looked far and wide, but did I ever find the right one?
You'll have to stay tuned to find out.
Until next time...

We've Been Working For You
This whole week, we've been burning the midnight oil in preparation for Sunday's festivities.
If not for the friendly visits we've been getting, I think we'd all have gone crazy. From Colin, to Jon B., to everyone's favorite DJ; it's all been great.
Today was no different- I think we got about 100423985235 visitors today, none of which I knew were coming. Those are definitely the best. Here's a recap.
The day started with this view.
Tunes were provided by these tapes we bought from a pawn shop. From Elvis Costello to Wayne's World, I think we've got variety covered. Oh, and yes, we have a tape player. We're fogies.
Just outside the pawn shop was this. Not so sure how I feel about it.
Rule Number One: If you're going to visit us, make sure you don't make a left turn when it says not. This guy did, and paid the price.
Visitor One: Tom! Doctor cleared him today as fit to drive, and naturally his first course of action was to hang out with us. Why do we miss Tom? Because he comes up with new nicknames for people. Bryan was formerly Bryan the Miner. And now, according to Tom, he's Bryan the Minor. You can't write this stuff people.
Visitor Two (and Three and Four): Ace (Josh and Mary not pictured)! All the way out from L.A. Beat that.
"So if you want to kill a zombie.."
Somehow, I think these will be seen everywhere soon.
I think Mary was pissed that we put her to work. Sorry Mary, but you gotta work to play. :)
Yeah, I totally double taked that sweater, too.
If you didn't know, The Mason Jar has officially waged war on the deadly black widows that lurk in our warehouse. Tonight, we cornered one of the beasts and attempted to split the monster in two, but it escaped to it's dark home. We need to hire better skilled scissor cutters. Apply within.
OK, greatest story of the week. Here's the backstory you need:
-we were hungry, so we decided on Togo's.
-there were 30 listed sandwiches, and obviously endless creations if you decided you wanted a custom order.
-it was "Flash Back Wednesday," which profiled one sandwich each week to be $1.99. We saw this AFTER we ordered. The special for today was Turkey and Avocado.
-Bryan is the unluckiest guy ever, ever since he shaved that beard.
Said Sign.
I'm sure you can guess what happened next. Here's the dialogue...
Me: "Oh man, look what we missed! We could have had five sandwiches for the price we payed."
Tony: "Why didn't you say anything earlier?"
Me: "I didn't see it, it's hidden back here." [the sign was literally hidden; one-sided (viewable from the inside only) and towards the back of the restaurant, away from the only entrance/exit]
Tony: "Oh well."
Me: "Wait. [I start to chuckle] I think Bryan got that sandwich."
Tony: "No way, I thought he hated avocado."
Me: "Hey Bry, what sandwich did you get?"
Bryan [who couldn't hear what we were talking about because he was still at the counter with Tom]: "Turkey on avocado. Why?"
I think all of us (except for Bryan) lost it after that. Out of a possible 30 (probably more) sandwiches, Bryan picks the one that's on sale on that specific day- after he paid! The odds are astronomical, and why the staff didn't mention anything beats me. Danny Hearts- gimme some odds on that one.
Bryan's reaction.
Upon arriving back to The Cannery, Natalie and Amelia (Visitors Five and Six) joined in on the fun. Sneak peak of the promo shirt we're giving on Sunday on Bryan's apron. Spot it.
Did I mention Amelia brought us some of these? Your heart would melt too if you saw somebody walk into your office with a cupcake caddy full of delicious cupcakes.
The Mason Jar/Alan Thomas, watercooler talk. Your typical day will find me rummaging through the fridge, Bryan smiling at inanimate objects, and Tony and Tom discussing business during their breaks. Total dweebs.
Pretty much.
Tom, ever the person with the grandest exits. Too bad this picture didn't convey the fog and fanfare that left with him. Over Bryan's shoulder, you can see our tally mark against the black widows. How many skateboards do you see in the picture? Winner gets a sweet tote bag!
Boo Yeah!
