Mason Jar Ride Night, Cramps and All

Thanks to everyone who showed up to our second group of the year, it was a pretty sweet turn out again.

And a special thanks to Stephanie and Quan who helped me out when my leg exploded on me going up that hill. If it weren't for you guys, I'd probably be this.



Let's get to pictures..

Once again another great turn out.


Ace Boogie, with his sweet, sweet new ride.


I can't even begin to describe how ridiculously painful this was.


Check out Geoff's power stance.


Ace x PK. They matched


Kretzu is so gnar he doesn't bother with shoes when he rides.


Because we're jerks at The Mason Jar, we decided to have endurance tests to earn the giveaways we had- and naturally Natalie and Yovie were the official judges as seen in the pictures. Seven quickly turned into two...



And between Alex and Cammie, the lovely lady from Corona outlasted the strength coming from Moreno Valley and won herself a sweet shirt.


Mulling our options...


...before having an impromptu meeting at In-N-Out to discuss matters for this Sunday, the 16th.



Can you hear the scrapalage off the hitch, hitting those low dips? I do.


And to my surprise, Chubby Boob Intern Curtis didn't make it. Here's his response.


And hey, speaking of surprises...here's what we've been concocting. You've got a week- so clear those plans and BE THERE!!




Boo Yeah!

Since I'm Too Tired..

...to post pictures from last night's bicycle ride, I'll post these in the meantime.

Watch this one first.


Now watch this.


Now read this about the guy.

Sham F'n Wow.

Boo Yeah!

TONIGHT!

Hang out with us tonight! We'll be giving away some sweet prizes.



What else can I say? Sham-Wow!

362 Days Ago

A bet was made to grow out a beard.

The terms were no trims to any region except for on the neck. Weeks later, a compromise was settled so that moustache length could be trimmed.

Three-hundred and sixty-two days.

Vince's Spaghetti in Rancho Cucamonga was where the deal was brokered.


Vince's Spaghetti in Rancho Cucamonga was where the deal was paid in full.


Due to the powers that be, circumstances out of our control have led us to retire the beloved beard.

Waiting room to Satan's NYC penthouse office.


Last meal.


I had the honor of cutting off the first half with shears. It took us awhile to finally have the guts to do it.

"Count me down Geoff, I can't just do it." -me

"3, 2-" -Geoff

"Wait. Count down from 50." -Bryan

Tricks? Treats? You decide.


Feelin' it out.


Driving home was tough. Especially when Closing Time came on.

All Alone On A Bicycle For Two

Caught She & Him at the House of Blues last night. What a lovely performance; I'm moving up marrying Zooey Deschanel to Priority Level Number Two right before playing chess with The Donald and just right after breathing to live. If M.Ward hurts one hair on her beautiful, holy head- I'm going after him like tigers on sweaty, dirty, haven't-shaven-in-six-days prisoners.

A little bit of this, a little bit of that...


A little bit of dueling piano action.


Zooey, I still love you- even if you wear dresses made out of Bounty Paper Towels.


Lovely concert, except for once how about I go to a concert where they skip the corny "good bye, see ya later," gag- only to come back out in five minutes. We get it. Encores sound cool. But do you really think we might not want to see three, four, maybe five more songs? The place wouldn't sell out if we didn't.

It really grinds my gears.


Speaking of grinding gears, we've got our second bike ride this coming Saturday. Make sure you all make it, cause we've got some sweet giveaways.



And don't forget, The Mason Jar webstore is open! Buy our Give More, Take Less shirt...100% goes to charity!

Boo Yeah!

Since We Know Who's President...

How about we open The Mason Jar webstore!

We have a charity shirt out NOW with 100% of proceeds going to The Friends of TOMS Foundation. Available in girls and guys, printed on American Apparel.

$25, which is tax-deductible if you order by Friday Nov. 7th. After that, it still goes to charity but isn't tax deductible.

What's that? A picture you say? You would like to see a picture?

Well sure! Here you go!







CLICK HERE TO SHOP NOW!

Your Friend,

jason



P.S.

Leave you calendars free on Sunday Nov. 16th. You're going to regret it if you don't. Details SOOOOOON.

Oh, and did anybody catch this?!



Congratulations to President Barack Obama (whoa!) and kudos to Sen. John McCain for taking the loss in stride and with respect.

"The American people have spoken, and they have spoken clearly." -McCain, with the quote of the night.

It's People Like This...(Part Two)

...who question my faith in humanity.



Snapped that picture in Corona last week; couldn't believe my eyes and was still half expecting his banner to say something else after I got it developed.

For the love of God/Allah/Buddha/any other deity, please- please, please, please VOTE today!

Polls are open from 7AM-8PM everywhere. Beware of signs saying that your voting day has been re-scheduled- it's a lie! People with other interests are going to try their best to get people not to vote, especially YOU!! But hey, now you know, thanks to your friend, The Bear Den.

If you encounter any voting trouble, visit npr.org/votereport and NPR will take note of it.

Let's see some Change people.

I did. Did you?

A Semi PG Hallowe'en at Disneyland

After mulling our options, we rounded up the posse and headed straight for Disneyland.



It's not an official trip unless you salivate over the seasonal treats.



After getting our fill, it was time to ride The Wildest Ride in the Wilderness- so wild that Bryan resorts to his favorite finger and Geoff has to hang on for dear life...


...while Nails can hardly contain herself. Apparently Bryan lost that middle finger of his.


Jen With One N, channeling her inner-most witch, scaring the little ones. More on her evil behavior later.


These faces only mean one thing...


Teacup time! Looks like Bryan found The Bird again.


After spinning wildly, it was time for meditation.



To Amelia and Nails, meditation seemingly means prom pictures.


Why am I kneeling you ask? Amelia likes leveled shots. Personally I think it throws off the balance.


Continuing with her evil theme, Jen With One N destroys anyone under the age of 6 with her Terminator laser eye. And guess who we ran into?


The following day, Bryan confessed that part of the laser caught his head, causing it to give him a fade and dreaded bead-locks.


And in the midst of everything, Jen With One N even laser guided Dia De Los Muertos tattoos on Nick...


...and Larisa Christensen!


Boo Yeah!

It's People Like This...(Part One)

...who make the reason to VOTE this year even more important. From Ed's blog..



Stay tuned for tomorrow's picture.

Feliz Dia De Los Muertos

Get your calavera on and celebrate The Day of the Dead.

And if you just happen to be in West Hollywood, make sure you stop by Kelsey's first U.S. solo show at the New Image Art Gallery. You're not gonna want to miss it..
