The NBA All-Star Weekend is in Houston this year.  That means lots of celebrities and the attendant craziness that goes with them.  And since ballers of all types love cars, that means fun weird stories.  For instance, Jay-Z had his Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse (a birthday present from his wife Beyonce) flown in on a private jet so he could drive it while he's in town.:o

^All-Star weekend is crazy. I once drove to Phoenix (to partake in the partying), despite the fact that I didn't have a ticket to the game – only someone in their early to mid-twenties could justify that trip.

i was talking to someone recently about how smart jay-z is
and i was saying he's a genius and has such a good idea of how to make money and what not
they responded with no he just has three guys that are really good running shit
and that story just shows that my friend is probably right
either way he's got 99 problems and a bitch aint one, but im sure a parking spot is

I just finished splitting wood for the fire, Lori's got some chicken chili on the stove, new neighbor just gave me an ENTIRE deer for the freezer, we're watching a walking dead marathon, and life just doesn't get much sweeter. Happy. Happy. Happy.

Most excellent JSJ, especially that neighbor.  Enjoy that deer! I know I would…

and Jeff, you and your wife are in my thoughts.  Coming from a family with ample heart problems (one of my grandfathers had an octuple bypass by the time he passed),  I know what it's like.  Modern medicine is amazing, and while recovery from heart issues is definitely and uphill struggle and a tough battle, recovery will come.  I wish you two all the best, and sincerely hope everything goes as best as it can.

JSJ - I like your style!  Is that a real Barcelona chair or a repro?  I like the Best Made axe too, I've got a solid red handled one at the house.

JSJ - only ONE thing missing I'd say…where's your beer/wine buddy? gotta love me a nice fire spot, got one in my room as well, really can't get any better

[joesaintjohn]

Thanks, Clint. It's a repro that I drunkenly stole from a hotel in College. I love that BestMade Axe. It's overpriced, but beautiful, and hungry for logs. You're in Austin? I'm going to be there Tuesday and Wednesday for a Toyota meeting.

I'm on rotation so I'm offshore right now through the 28th.  I wish I was going to be around, you'll have to let me know next time you make it down that way!  Are you going to make it down for SXSW?

[joesaintjohn]

No, we do Fun Fun Fun Fest every November. We love it. We'll have to meet up this year.

[Clint_D]

For sure, I'm going to schedule vacation this year so I can actually make it!
