I hope everybody had a great weekend. I just came back from LA, where I attended FuelFest. It was pretty amazing. There was a long line, I arrived around 8AM and the doors didn’t open until 10AM. There were fast cars on display everywhere. I bought some FuelFest swag from the Reach Out WorldWide booth. I saw Vin Diesel’s stunt double. I went to see the drag races. My favorite part was when a Nissan Skyline GT-R was racing a supercharged Dodge SRT Charger (or maybe it was a Challenger). I went to get some burritos from the taco trucks. I drank some Dos Equis with some dopplegangers who looked like Samoa island folks from Fast & Furious — Hobbs & Shaw. I saw some trucks and other vehicles doing burnouts. There was a DJ performance by Dirty Audio. Cody Walker & Tyrese came on stage along with the actor who plays Han. As soon as these guys came on stage, I immediately thought of Paul Walker and broke down crying. Thankfully I was wearing my black sunglasses, so hopefully not too many people noticed. The DJ played more music, and everybody danced. At the end, Cody Walker thanked everybody for coming, as there was about 10,000 people strong. It was an amazing fun day and I plan on going again next year. Thank you to everybody for making this event possible, it was a lot of fun. I want to reiterate the importance of the COVID-19 vaccine, and California’s mask-lift, which without would have been impossible. To be able to enjoy a large gathering of people like that was really awesome, and if you want to get back to normal, please get vaccinated.
