I walk outta here with 76 Items and pay like $17.83!

LA Fitness, Where have you been all my life?!

To be continued....

Came here with a few buddies a couple times for a little week night hootenanny aka TNR aka Tuesday night ragerrrrrrrs!

Young wipper snappers, listen up! Here's a crash course on the type of tunes they play on a Taco Tuesday.

Here's a short list of jams that are GUARENTEED to play @ Taco Tuesday! Thats right, I said Guarenteed!

Bon jovi -"Living on a prayer"
Neil Diamond - "Sweet Caroline"
Journey- "Don't stop believing"
Don McLean - "American Pie"
Paper boy- " Dittyy"

If you don't have these songs memorized by the time you check this place out, your ass is grass because when they play the jams, you'll feel left out.

Typhoon Saloon is pop lock and droppin' on Taco Tuesday. Get there early. Like 930-945 early before the $5 cover charge. Lines get long.

"As of Sunday 09/19/2010 the escalators in front of the entrance are back on people!! I repeat... the escalators have been turned back on!!" just sayin'.

2 stars for my 2 tears...

=**(

I love the food. I like the prices.I hate the parking on weekends.

I came on 6 days post operation (on crutches) looking to order a few rolls to go.

Came in. Ordered the Love-Volcano and  two crunchy roll. Paid.. waited.

Moments later.. foods ready. One large back stuffed with 3 large styrofoam containers with 3 miso soups.  

Now, I was on crutches... there was 3 employees chillin near the front counter.. None of them offered help (which I would have declied) but dang, can y'all at least offer a crippled guy some assistance!? I even tipped y'all for a togo order.

I almost dropped my soup! =**(

Dirty Pop!

Ohhh babyyyyy !!!  Best thing I've done so far!!

Wednesday 7/29/2010:
I made an appointment the day before for 1pm. paid a $30 deposit over the phone and I was booked. Easy as that!
Mood: excited!!  Couldn't wait to go up 13,000 ft and jump out of a perfectly good airplane!

Thursday 7/30/2010:
I arrived around 12:30 for my 1 o'clock appointment. Checked in, signed and initialed and waited to get trained and suited up.

(Over Intercom) For all of those who need to be trained for a tandem jump, please meet in the training area.

After the very brief training session, I headed over to get suited up in a harness.

As I patiently waited there for about 30 minutes waiting other skydivers come in and land. I couldn't help but notice everyone doing SOLO jumps (a lot of military guys and a few girls)! A lot of them coming in at top speed like a bat outta hell and landing safe and sound! Ohhh crap!
Mood: mellow. I tend to over analyze everything and I waiting didn't help, I began to question. Mind you, I came here solo dolo, alone.

Finally, I'm called up and suited up by Blake (he's the one talking in the video posted on their website and says "Jumpin' out is like putting your brain in a blender. The whole universe is like vroooooom!"). That's exactly what it felt like jumping out! More on that later...
Mood: Sleepy. zzzzz

Shortly after, I met up with my camera/video man Ron and Instructor Sean.  Both funny, professional and chill dudes. Chopped it up a bit, then marched over to the plane with the rest of the solo jumpers.

"LET'S HAVE THE BEST JUMP EVERRRRRRRR!! WOO! (High fives all around) - One diver screams to the other while boarding the plane.
Mood: anxious. I'm ready to rock and roll!

We get seated and packed like sardines in the Twin Otter plane. Andddd we're off!
Mood: chill. Feels like a flight to Vegas. I'm chillin... Where's my free beverage and peanuts?

7,000 ft and climbing: Ron (camera man) scans the room with the handheld camcorder then points to me for a short interview:

Ron: "Chris, We're half way up. How you feeling now?"
Me: (looks out the window thinking...Only half way!? We're pretty high up) I'm getting nervous, I ain't even gonna lie (telling the truth)
Ron: You ready to jump?
Me: oh hell yes! (Sounded unsure).
Ron: (not convinced) Let's do this! (Our fist connect for a pound)
Mood: FOCUSED!  

Up and up we go. At this point, I'm strapped in... Sean (instructor) yells out directions. He tells me what to get ready for, how it's going to be when we get up, and reminds me to put my goggles on. I nod.

10,000-12,000 ft in the air: "Door!"- Solo diver yells out. The door flings open.
Mood: .... (Everything's happening so damn fast)

13,000+ ft in the air: Solo skydivers are jumping out! One by one.
What a crazy sight to see. I've never witness anyone jumping out of a perfectly good airplane before... while I'm in inside the plane. (Crap! Where y'all going!?)

We stand up and walk in unison as we approach the door. Ron hops out and clings on to the handle out outside of the small plane.

I peek out. I look down. I see my feetsies hanging out the door...

I was NOT nervous until this very moment. Seeing my shoes hanging off the edge of the door 13,000 ft in the sky, I realized..."THIS SH*T JUST GOT REAL!!!!!!"

Mood: ANXIOUS+CRAZY +EXCITED+I HAZ A SCARED+ WHAT THE FEEZIES!?!

Next thing I know, we're out the plane and do a back flip!!

I see Ron circling us capturing us do tricks in midair. (Back flips, spinning, saying what's up to the cam)

Free fall was amazing! Words can not describe this feeling.  FREAKIN' BAD ASS!

5-7 minutes of a parachute ride. Then back on the ground after a soft safe landing.
Mood: Speechless.

What an awesome experience! Recommended for anyone who wants to face their fears.

(Checks skydiving off bucket list!) DONE!

I'm planning on going again early 2011! LET'S GO!

Shout out to Lisa T., Chris P., and Shayne C, for inspiring me to do this.

ROYAL MANDARIN IS BACK AND BETTER THAN EVER!

Big ups to RM for making a come back after their tragic fire incident.

My department at work had our monthly pot luck / team building event today, so i decided to pay a visit to Royals and scoop up a medium size tray of S&P chicken wangs.

I haven't been here since they remodeled the restaurant.

Daymn, what an upgrade! New tables, chairs, a lot more spacious, brighter lights, tile flooring! "Oh you fancy huh?" -drake & swiss beats. All this place is missing is KYXY soft rock 96.fiveeeeeeeee playing in the background while you enjoy your orange chicken!

Medium tray of S&P chicken wangs comes out to a whopping $36.20. A few of us chipped in on the tray.

Not only are they wangs a hit at any family party, but also at work functions as well. Guaranteed to satisfy, please, and blow minds of those who haven't sunk their teeth into these babys.

New hours: 9am-10pm, new decor, same location, same great service, same great taste!

$5 for a line up. Can't beat that!

Never really a wait here. Opens @ 9am Monday-Friday.

Quick. Fast. Friendly. Clean. Cheap. In and out within 15 minutes.

That's all folks.

See you next week!

I had a great time at my second yelp event! (It's been a while since YELP R.A.P.S.!) My First ELITE event!

Shout out to Danny W. for putting together another great party!

Special thanks to super trooper Shayne C. for letting me be her +1 and also coming through when she was feelin' under the weather!

Sweet 80's theme party, like totally hot outfits, and great vibes from my fellow Elite yelpers! Great seeing everyone again and meeting new elite peeps!  

Loved Analog bar decor! Wanted to play some street fighter and hit some high notes on the mic, but only one controller and Karaoke was display only =/.

That's all I can remember before my vision got reeaaaaal fuzzy!

Damn those PBR tall cans! Had me buzzzzin!

Till next time y'all!

"Oh you fancy huh! Oh you fancy huh!"

Las Vegas you so crazzzay!!! See you again soon!
