Last night there was a great open house at the ID Agency in DTLA. I had some photos featured in the art gallery along with Estevan Oriol and Mo Satarzadeh. All three of us were on the 2009 Gumball 3000 rally and had some photos featured from it along with some of our other photography.

Here is a display of my photography hung up on the wall.

Here is the DJ with a great crowd going behind him at the Open House. Mo’s photography is stage left and you can see my Vaughn Gittin Jr. print over on the right.

Here is a close up of my T-Pain photograph I took years ago at his house next to Vaughn Gittin’s 2005 Sonoma drifting picture.

Here I am receiving Ricky’s special beer delivery. Not only is Ricky great at beer delivery he is an excellent photographer that does tons of work for Wrecked Magazine! The Corona was for him and the Bud Light was for me. It ended up being a great night and I really appreciate all the support of people who came out. Thanks to Bob Hernandez for these photos he put up on Facebook and I will make new posts when other people send me or put up some photographs.

While I am a huge free speech advocate and just a general believer in the rights you have as a human they are slowly dwindling away. While I am not in for some political debate I just surely hope this gets appealed to the Supreme Court. The Second Circuit United States Court of Appeals (in California of course) has announced that in a 2-1 decision that online threats are not protected free speech, specifically in comments posted on the web.

As annoying and dumb I feel people are on the Internet it is there God given right to be and if you don’t like it then don’t read the Internet. The case this all involves around is quite an extreme case which relates much more to poor parenting and shit for brains kids produced by those parents.

First off a huge thanks to ID Agency for having this automotive photo exhibit. I only selected one drifting photograph for my gallery since we have limited space but it’s one of my favorite drifting photos of all time. The photograph is from the 2005 Formula Drift Sonoma event and features Vaughn Gittin Jr. drifting his Falken Tire Ford Mustang. This was only his fourth event ever in the car if I recall correctly.

More updates this weekend after the photo gallery. I will also have a few photos from my 2009 Gumball 3000 journey which took us from Santa Monica Pier in California to Miami Beach, Florida.

Here is some info on the other photographers featured:
Estevan Oriol
Mo Satarzadeh

And lastly a huge thanks to ID Agency for having us at their venue!

So I wanted to show off a few items that I would love if you picked me up for my birthday at the end of March.

1. This gold plated AK-47  from Versace.

2. Some items seized by Mexican Drug Lords…….I am sure you can find these items at one of those estate/seized property sales.

The guys at COED Magazine released a hilarious list of the five people you will be lucky enough to encounter while playing games such as Modern Warfare 2. Since I play with quite a few people often in the drifting industry I figured we would all find this hilarious.

1. The Camper
2. The Cancer
3. The Veteran
4. The General
5. The Complainer

I am sure you have seen we launched Fantasy Drift over at Wrecked Magazine and it is one of the most exciting projects I have worked on since we launched this website back in 2007. The concept was a personal vision of mine after being hooked into fantasy NHL hockey and fantasy NASCAR.

Now all of the die hard Formula Drift fans can enjoy a great game to play while following the 2010 series. The video above walks you through the registration and draft process. If you still have questions or are confused on any element of the Fantasy Drift please use the website contact form at the top right of the site to ask any questions.

I just want to thank everyone who contributed thoughts, marketing tips, game building logic, or time to this project. Everyone at PM Lifestyle was a huge help on this project especially Jason Small who single handily coded and created the logic my concept to a reality. My last thanks goes to all the media who blasted out our project: MotorWorldHype, UrbanRacer, Fatlace, Formula D, and everyone else!

This second video walks you through the process of how to play the game once your draft is complete in April. Bookmark this video since you will need it to really play the game at 100%.
