Hey party people! Well, I survived the Alice Cooper show and The Pismo Moto session with the boys and I’m now suffering through the week, counting the hours until my birthday party weekend begins!
The Alice Cooper show was packed and my band Jetboy took the stage at 8 o’clock and completely destroyed it, delivering one of our best sets to date! Great sound and lighting with a huge stage, and we were treated great by Alice and his crew. Alice put on a great show and at 61-yrs old showed no signs of slowing down or mellowing out! This tour features many old classics such as opening song, “Schools Out,” “18,” “Only Women Bleed,” “Welcome to My Nightmare” and many others. And Alice is killed three times during the show – (guillotine, hanging and lethal injection…)! He took the time to hang out with us at the end of the night to chat and told us he enjoyed our set. We got some fun pictures with him and he also signed my original “Welcome To My Nightmare” LP.

I was back to work on Friday still reeling with excitement from the mid-week party, with piles of work to catch up on. After a long day it was straight home to rest up for Saturday’s excursion up to the Pismo Beach sand dunes for some pure adrenaline riding! There were six of us from the Lip Service crew and on our 250 and 400 cc Quads, we spent four hours blazing through the dunes.
We blasted over every sick jump we could find and organized some race courses to compete against each other for the sheer rush! Only one of us got hurt (not too bad), and I crashed one time leaving my quads steering bent, although I roosted it for the rest of the day anyway! Great day and great bonding experience for a group of us that have worked very hard to develop the new “Service” menswear line in a matter of weeks, in order to make the deadline for Spring delivery. We all got to know each other a little better and just enjoyed the “Dude” thing! Pismo is a beautiful place and makes for a fun exciting day. I highly recommend checking it out!
Well I’m off now to get ready for a photo shoot with my brand new Psychobilly band, “Cold Blue Rebels,” featuring members from the Zeros and Glamour Punks. Formed only 2 months ago, we will soon be ready to start booking shows, but more on that next week!
Until then - keep it sleazy, work hard, play harder and remember…Fashion+Music=Life!
