Number twelve came close on the heels of #11 since I still had a rental car so I ended up going with Laura to the In-n-Out at Fisherman’s Wharf before the Festizio show at the Red Devil Lounge on a rainy Sunday night. I also was informed by the awesome San Francisco Public Library, that my reservation for the In-n-Out book by Stacy Perman was ready for me to pick it up!

Heading up to Wine Country to shoot a wedding which almost always means a trip to In-n-Out either on my way up and/or the way down, but since I was traveling with my assistant/second shooter, I figured she wouldn’t be up for a double double of In-n-Out, so I got it on the way up hitting the Mill Valley location for a nice and filling pre-shoot meal.

So I finally got to wear the stormtrooper armor I got a long ass time ago and never put together. Thanks to my friend James Cook who constructed it, I was finally able to try it out this past weekend at the Stormtrooper Bar Crawl that I had found on Yelp. After finally figuring out how to put the thing on, I stepped out onto Guerrero Street and started walking to the MUNI stop on Mission. People were definitely amused and once I got on the bus, it was funny to see the reactions. Everyone seems to know stormtroopers and it’s nice to be anonymous behind the mask too (although it’s freaking hot and gave me an interesting type of ‘helmet head’). Of course during a bar crawl you have to do two things: drink (which you have to take the helmet off for), and pee, which was actually much easier than I thought initially it might be. With the helmets off and sitting on the bar, everyone wants to put them on which I was pretty much fine with, especially when a bunch of the bar staff did it at Eve and gave us free shots in exchange (see photo above).

This trip to the Fisherman’s Wharf In-n-Out Burger was out of necessity after a crazy evening that started off with the Yelp Elite party at Butter and finishing up at Lucky 13. I woke up without knowing right away where I was and found some strange stains on the side of the rental car – hmm… Generally a #1 combo will get me back to normal but today was an exception. Luckily it did help, and for that I thank you my beloved Double Double! Continue reading Mon March 29, 2010: In-n-Out Burger #10 – genex style (correctly made)
Ah my favorite number is nine and this was a good burger. It was Sunday afternoon and I had a rental car so a quick trip to the Wharf was the plan and I got to share my meal with Laura and Melodi. Little did I know that I would return less than 24-hours later for burger #10! Continue reading Sun March 28, 2010: In-n-Out Burger #9 – genex style (correctly made)
Man this particular genex style Double Double seemed super heavy on the onions. I love onions and all but it was pretty powerful. Outside the Las Vegas police were arresting some sorta crazy crackhead that had all the employees abuzz.

So lucky number seven on the day that the Chinese New Years Parade was happening had to be a good sign right? Well the person who took my order was the best ever, not flinching when I quickly vocalized my order. The Mill Valley location is a bit weird in that it doesn’t have a drive-thru because of some thing that happened way back when they first were opening up, so everyone takes it to go or eats in.

I forgot about what college girls were like until I stepped foot into the Tempe In-n-Out and there were girls in bikinis in line with me. It was so warm outside too so this was a welcome visit and I was starving to boot. This was another “genex style” burger, correctly made so I’m on a good streak. I’ve found that saying: “Animal Style, no pickles, but add raw onions” seems to work best. Sometimes they ask if I want “both types of onions” of which I reply to in the affirmative. Oh and as you can see, I was reading the USA Today article about Olympic speedskater Apolo Anton Ohno.

A rare cheeseburger but I had anticipated coming to this In-n-Out both on my trip down as well as on my way back. The Daly City In-n-Out was on my way down to Sand Hill Road for a shoot so I thought, a little cheeseburger will be perfect in the late afternoon and then another cheeseburger (or double double) would be perfect along with a shake after the shoot. Well it turns out we had double booked photographers for the shoot so I let Myleen take the shoot and I just turned around and instead made a pitstop at Target and didn’t make my return visit to In-n-Out but it was probably just as well.

Before shooting a cover image for Dangerous Curves I had to return a rental car and to me rental car = In-n-Out so I made a second trip to In-n-Out in the same rental this morning. Glad I did since the shoot was pretty tiring with lots of lighting changes and getting up on the roof too. I handled a ton of weapons. One of the prop stylists was CHP so there were real sniper rifles with laser scopes, shotguns, .45s, berettas and a bunch of other guns I had no idea what they were called. Pretty fun to play with as props even though there were the real deal. Stay tuned for pix from the In-n-Out fueled shoot!
