Talk about a sore loser… Apparently, a Nigerian man was so angered by Manchester United’s loss to FC Barcelona in Wednesdays UEFA Champions League finale that he drove a minibus into a crowd celebrating the Spanish sides victory. According to CNN.com, four people were killed and 10 injured as “[the man] was displaying his anger [...]
Monthly Archive for May, 2009
Reading is not Gilberto’s thing. The last book I read was “The Da Vinci Code,” and that was only because every two pages is a new chapter and I would feel like I was dominating the damn book. Gotta admit though that the only thing I do read, and religiously at that, is The New [...]
No Carrot For You, Bob
Posted in Dallas, Food/Drinks, Scumbags on May 28th, 2009
Just got the news that Bob’s Steak & Chop House has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. This revelation culminates a rough 2009 in which Bob’s owner Bob Sambol was indicted earlier this year for failing to repay a debt. In a bankruptcy filing, the Dallas-based company indicated it owes somewhere between $1 million to [...]
Presenting… The King of Clubs 2009?
Posted in Dallas, Desperate, Lifestyle, Nightlife, Stupid Shit on May 27th, 2009
Last night I had the pleasure of attending “The King of Clubs 2009″ awards party at Wish Ultra-lounge and you would not believe the A-Lister’s who attended this one. The event awarded the top clubs in the Dallas area except I’m not quite sure who was part of the whole “selection committee.” Surrounded by actual strippers and stripper-like waitresses, I felt like [...]
Last year I came across a very interesting biography of Marc Jacobs in The New Yorker. I was thinking about the article the other day…his incessant smoking, his Superman workouts, his penchant for Pairs. Below is an excerpt from the article:
“Jacobs used to be a chubby Jewish guy with long hair and glasses who made his [...]
Ummm, I’ll Take Another Number Jerk
Posted in LA, Sports, Stupid Shit on May 26th, 2009
Stopped into a favorite LA lunch spot last week only to have the waiter hand me the number “23″ — in burgundy and white no less. Does homeboy at the counter not watch the incessant Sportcenter/Vitamin Water/Nike puppet Kobe v. Lebron banter bombarding us all day long? And in Los Angeles of all places. Shame [...]
Sunday I made it back to Dallas just in time for the “Sleepover” at Ghostbar Dallas. Gilberto was still stuck in Palm Springs (poor baby) and I arrived literally as Aoki was going on. The package “Sleepover” deal at Ghostbar offered a free room at The W with the purchase of bottle service for the performance. I opted to sleep at [...]
My trip started off in Las Vegas last Sunday for a real estate convention known as ICSC. Our first night out we ran into Aziz Ansari from NBC’s “Parks & Recreation.” The convention I have to admit was dead, but not bad if you are a pervert looking for a great excuse to leave your girlfriend/wife for a couple days for a “Business Trip.”
By [...]

Truck Hunt: The Korean BBQ Taco Truck
Posted in Food/Drinks, LA on May 19th, 2009
Gilberto is taking a well-deserved break from Texas in none other than sunny Los Angeles aka home sweet home. I am here for a week to primarily a) watch my boys (Lakers) and b) get ridiculously tanned (Palm Springs). At least that’s what I tell everyone. My real mission? Find the Korean BBQ Taco Truck [...]
AOKI DOES DALLAS // Sunday May 24, 2009
Posted in Dallas, Lifestyle, Music, Nightlife on May 18th, 2009
Our first collaboration with Ghostbar Dallas. This should be an epic Memorial Day weeekend event that we are proud to be a part of.
No need to tell you Jean-Jacques is at Festival De Cannes. I am sure you know this. Today I see Scorsese presente The Red Shoes, a classic from ‘48. I have no time to write. Tonight I have dinner with my old friend Francis Coppola. I am excited to hear about his movie Tetro. Ciao.
Presenting….The Canon SD780 IS
Posted in Design, Photography, Technology on May 15th, 2009
I have just recently added this sexy new piece of goodness to my arsenal of cameras. Dissapointed is something I definitely am not. This particular Powershot is the slimmest, tiniest point-and-shoot Canon has come out with to date.
Aside from the fact that this camera is sleek and slim, performs with 12.1 megapixels with a 3.2-5.8 [...]
Whatever Will Be Will Be…
Posted in Dallas, Music, Nightlife, Photography, Videos on May 15th, 2009
Even after the disappointing loss last night I decided to go out and see what the night had to offer, starting at The Lounge to see VEGA. Alan who is the lead singer was dancing the night away on stage from the get-go and got the crowd started. To their credit, they put on an energetic [...]
3 Championship Rings!
Posted in God-like Men, LA, Sports, Television, Videos on May 14th, 2009
Are you hungry Lebron??
Tonight is going to be epic. If the Lakers do their job tonite they will be headed to the Western Conference Finals, and ohh so much closer to a championship. After I will be headed to The Lounge to see Vega perform and as usual get my whiskey on. VEGA is having an after party at Fallout Lounge so [...]
Very exciting news I received today. The Shok family goes Presidential! My cousin Jasmin Shokrian who is an amazing clothing designer out of Los Angeles just did a skirt for the first lady….Go SHOK!

Worst Convenience Store Ever?
Posted in Dallas, Food/Drinks, Scumbags, Stupid Shit on May 14th, 2009
These pictures are of a gas station/convenience store I have been going to for years. Notice how the word “convenience” does not apply. Not only is it the most expensive gas station in Dallas, but it’s also located across the street from both the most expensive office building and hotel, The Crescent Court and The Ritz Carlton. I don’t [...]
Twitt Twitt Twitter
Posted in God-like Men, LA, Lifestyle, Sports, online on May 13th, 2009
It took me a while to come around to the Twitter phenomenon but I finally set up my account today (Gilberto’s here) and started following Jeanie Buss — Lakers owners Jerry Buss’ daughter as well as Phil Jackson’s longtime girlfriend. And one-time Playboy model. Got to love her Tweets if you’re a Lakers fan.
-A win can do [...]
My buddy Blake is a graphic designer who just started putting his artwork on his site, theblakewright.com. Ch-ch-ch-check em out, some really sick images…
American Apparel vs. American Pervert
Posted in New York, Scumbags, Stupid Shit, Uncategorized on May 13th, 2009
No, that isn’t the the dude from the Chabad telethon, that’s Woody Allen. On an American Apparel billboard nonetheless. Nosh on this: Allen recently sued the retailer for $10 million after the company used his picture on its billboards in Hollywood and New York and on a Web site (below). He claims the company didn’t [...]
Houston Reminds Me of Miami
Posted in LA, Nightlife, Photography, Sports, Travel on May 12th, 2009
As mentioned, Gilberto and I headed to Houston for the NBA Playoffs battle between the Rockets and the Lakers. Upon arriving in Houston, we changed quickly and headed to the Four Seasons to meet a couple buddies from LA and grab drinks. While getting our whiskey on, we ran into Craig Sager, Mitch Kupchak and [...]
A few months back I made the mistake of loaning one of my favorite hats to a girl I was seeing at the time…and of course the chick lost it. That hat did wonders for my mojo and I can’t describe the feeling of emptiness I had without it.
After months and months of searching hopelessly for a replacement — [...]

Almost died when my friend Stephanie posted this on Facebook today. What a brilliant site. I don’t think it’s possible to outdo these two families. AwkwardFamilyPhotos.com
