Come a little closer…

So, we’re painting the house and what do I find? Visitors. Little Black Visitors everywhere. Kinda cute… except for the nasty disposition and propensity to bite your hand and KILL YOU. Maybe it’s me, but I ain’t keepin’ ‘em for pets…

Where’s my bazooka…

Academy Aftermath…

Hurt Locker? Best Picture?

You know, I just went and saw GREEN ZONE. It was, by far, a much better executed film than Hurt Locker. But it won’t win Best Picture next year. Why? ‘Cause there’s too much action. Oh, and the Academy is “Choice Challenged.”

Okay, so you say that Avatar has made boku bank. True. But just because the ENTIRE PLANET loved it, doesn’t mean that the Academy will. I mean, they can’t vote for Cameron again!!

Whatever. Go see Green Zone. Damon is always good, and Paul Greengrass directs like he’s had 42 cups of coffee. And check out my lil’ niece, Alexa. Her hair is getting redder by the minute.

What’s up at the Fireball pad this week?

It’s crazy time. Never, in all the years that I’ve been into cars has there been a more active period. It’s wild and 2010 is steppin’ up to the plate with tons of fun stuff. Although I can’t reveal too much in detail, (’cause I’ll be shot…) I can say that we have several possible builds in the works. Hm… howz about a list… to get me started so I can stay oorgonizzed?

1. I’d like to work with a major automotive manufacturer for a possible SEMA car. No, it’s not SMART. But something serious. BOOM!

2. I’d like to work with another big company on another build… for SEMA.Wait. Two? Am I nuts? DON’T ANSWER THAT!

3. How about develop a new TV Show that’s gonna be a blast? But we have to sell it first, duh. OKAY, BOOM!

4. All new Dragtracks are finally here! Gonna be playing with it at RCX. Plus, we’ll be joined by our friends at Sport Chassis. BIG BEASTY above…

5. So many events, I can’t even hold them all in my pea brain. But, after RCX, it’s “officially crazy time.”

6. How about working with a company that makes deliciousness? Edible cars? Nope, but nice guess.

7. And an all new episode of “WORLD OF CARS” coming next week!! Sweet! Look for it all over the web. Yes, it’ll be funny… and stupid… and… about cars!

8. New tattoo… Ouch. Should I skip that?  NO WAY, JOSE!!!!

All in all, not bad for the first 2 months of the year. I mean… if it all happens, right? If I’m gonna cause trouble, I might as well have fun along the way?

Off to Hollywood for Oscar insanity…

Today is Oscar day. What the heck was I thinking by going to Hollywood for my son’s birthday yesterday to see “Alice in Wonderland?” He’s 22.

Well, we do things like that. Insane Traffic. Insane Parking. Insane People. And… Insane Movie! It was awesome btw. But they were setting up Hollywood Blvd for the Oscars, bigtime.

Walking the streets of Hollywood at this time is a radical experience. Coming out on the plastic covered red carpet at the Kodak Theater to see all the Press was nuts. And all waiting for me, no less! Not. Kathie was trying to call my agent, saying that I wasn’t even informed! The noive…. But they we’re getting ready for the biggest show on the planet which airs today.And who’s my fav? Avatar, duh.

Alice in Wonderland in 3D was spectacular. Tim Burton really pulled it off this time. See it. Live it. But don’t smoke it. Afterwards, we headed off to Culver City for some cool Mexican at Kay and Dave’s.

Today for Oscar? Big ass party.

Fireball hooks up with fan, Sergio!

Headed down towards LAX to meet with some doods from the Phillipines. Why? Can’t say just yet, …as it’s something really awesome. But I was in a Starbucks and was approached by cool Fireball fan, Sergio Lopreiato. Sergio is Vice President of Cielo Enterprises in Pasadena. They do awesome things for the environment, and… he and his son dig cars and have been watching “World’s Most Expensive Rides.” Cool.

Thanks for watchin,’ Sergio!!

Back from Vegas and the word is…

AWESOME!!

As you can see by our faces, we were overwhelmed at all the cool stuff from this show. Hangin’ with buddies, SuperDesigner Carson Lev and the Chipmeister himself, Chip Foose, the 2010 Diecast SuperConvention was a fantastic show.

Big thanks to the Diecast Space Crew for putting on a spectacular event. CJ, Cullen, Crazy Frank, Jeff Glasson, Joe Kelly and his wife Casey and many more hardcore diecast doods and doodetts spent a great deal of time making sure everything was just right.

Looking forward to more shows just like it!!
