The Ginter Godfather Delivers Some Non-Ginter Goodies.

I received a PWE recently from The Ginter Godfather. Inside was what I'm always ecstatic to see: new Clayton Kershaws, plus a new Matt Kemp.

Thanks for the cards GG, appreciate your generosity!

I'm taking in yet another Turquoise Jeep concert tonight. It'll be my fourth time seeing my favorite band, and boy am I ever ready to Dance Dance and Taste You Like Yogurt.

I Want Pie. #KTJR

It's another banger - or should I say smanger - from one of my favorite bands, Turquoise Jeep. Slick Mahony and Pretty Raheem make their triumphant returns. SLICK'S BACK BAAAAABY!

Their live shows are magnificent. I can't wait to go for a third time.

May 11th can't get here soon enough. If only Slick Mahony would make the trip, my life might be complete. I'm perfecting the Slick dance as I type.

Treat Me Like A Pirate and Give Me That Booty.

A reference to both the amazing new song from one of my favorite groups and my latest Getzlaf pickup. For the paltry sum of $6.79 delivered I was able to score a super-short-printed relic of The Captain back in January. It's the Gold Version and thus limited to just ten copies.

The bottom swatch comes from a Ducks' sweater and the top two-colored piece from a Portland Pirates' sweater Getz donned while in the American Hockey League. I've been trying to figure out where the minor league relic comes from and I'd love to say the beard of the Pirate that is featured prominently on a Pirates' sweater. However, I can't say that with any real certainty.

It pairs oh so well with the Silver Version /70 - another 3-color hit - I already own.

Going Backstage At The Best Concert I've Ever Been To: Turquoise Jeep!

I had the pleasure of seeing Turquoise Jeep live at The Roxy Friday night, and holy crap was it ever amazingly awesome and mind-blowingly sweet. I could write forever and ever about my experience, but I'll keep it short and simple.

Just prior to the guys going on-stage, I had a shock when they called my name as a contest winner. I hadn't even realized I was entered on time, and next thing I know I'm backstage and meeting Flynt Flossy, Yung Humma, Pretty Raheem, Whatchyamacallit, and Tummiscratch. My buddy Danny and I got to take pictures with them and chill for a few minutes, and then it was back to about "row" five for the concert of my life.

They played all of my favorites - minus two which they can't play because the member of the group that sings them suffers from stage fright and doesn't tour with them - and before heading off they told the crowd of about 150ish that they would stay and sign every autograph and take pictures with anyone who wanted one.

I took the opportunity to buy a hat and get the guys to sign it, thank them yet again for coming, and take one last picture with Floss. Now, it's just a matter of finding some way to both protect said autographed hat while displaying it for the world to see and enjoy. We met some awesome Jeep Riders and had an incredible night overall. I can't wait for Turquoise Jeep to come back to LA. They are some of the nicest guys I've ever met, period.

It was such a memorable and momentous night that I'm going to do something I've never done on this blog: post a picture of myself. There is a picture of me floating around on a blog or two from the infamous Matt Kemp Dinner signing, and yes, that is in fact me jokingly pretending to ask The Bison to marry me. But I myself haven't confirmed my super duper secret identity until now.

I'm the guy in the middle. A Lady Tamer. And a Chef too.
