I got an invite to Patrick's gallery for the grand opening of a new exhibit by Toby Ziegler, called The Subtle Art of Spiritual Abuse. This was the first time I had an opportunity to scope out anything of the sort and it was like nothing I had expected. Located in Santa Monica's Bergamont Station, P had two galleries on lock and I had a fuckin' blast. I have to admit that some of the art was way out but nonetheless it was a learning experience filled with good times, slick people and it was definitely something good. A big ups goes out to Patrick and Edward for the invite as well as their hospitality.

Quote of the night: "Wow…look at you. You look cute like a prostitute." LMFAO.

I wish I took more pictures of the artwork and the gallery but I was too busy talking to people or just trippin' out on the artwork. After the event we rolled out to Avalon where there was a dinner reception for Toby.

Check out this new iPhone skin that you can now have etched to your liking. Some dude, we'll call him "Mr. Don't Hurt Yourself" brought this phone to dinner. Pretty slick shit.

Edward took the following photosand all I have to say is you're so fuckin' fired! 2 out of the 2 pictures that you took were fucked up which means you now have a 100 percent failure rate! LOL…just playing man. …but seriously….take a look at the pics. It's amazing how he was able to catch us in the most fucked up moments. In the picture above you got Patrick looking like he's about to yack…

Patrick doing what he does best and that's commanding – and never demanding – his respect. This photo was taken during his dinner announcement to a room of invited guests which included industry heavy weights such as  Benedikt Taschen

While we were outside, Patrick said he was notorious for leaving his own parties to go handle business and this time was no different. Right before dinner arrived, Patrick jumped in the batmobile and we all bounced to the Black Maria Gallery in Silver Lake.

John and Patrick in the LP bringin' sexy back. LOL.

Now that's some real shit…..homeboy got up and straight left his own party in Beverly Hills to drive down to Silver Lake (through traffic and rain) just to show up to an event for one of his boys. We were there for 15 minutes, browsed around and then bounced back to Beverly Hills to regroup. Respect.
