New Elvis at The Griffin Bar
Atwater, CA 11.11.19 Bummed that I missed Princess Frank who always puts on a raging show.

Maui – Day 3 It’s Saturday morning. I woke up again around 9am. The humidity and the heat is stronger that I would have thought for Hawaii. It makes you wake up early, even if parties kept you up until 4am. I got in Maui Thursday afternoon, jumped into my luxurious rented neon and drove […]
