Off to Lille & Paris France. We stay in Lille for literally 12 hours but I'm not complaining. Another amazing crowd at the red carpet. Our driver said that this town was known for being huge tuner car fans so they came to represent by the hundreds. Though the main highlight other than the red carpet was the lunch we had in town.
The most largest and craziest piece of pork ever served to a mankind. I thought it was some sort of steak but it was actually twice as large than that and a huge thickness of fat to go with it. It was unbelievable. Of course I took a few bites of the fat just because. Incredible. So what if I just gained a few pounds on one bite of fat.
Quickly after the red carpet we jetted off to Paris to do some press and a mandatory dinner. The full team of cast and crew were invited to an unbelievable dinner french style. Of course when the menu came to pick one out of three appetizer, entrees, and dessert, I had to just get one of each. Hey, its paid for and sharing is caring.
I got to know more of the crew that were apart of the experience. Larry, pauls styist who use to tour with led zeppelin to name one of many. And john, michelle's makeup who also has a fatty resume of brillant stars.
After dinner, with one night in paris, party to the break of dawn. On vin's dime of course. Long and safe story short, we all ended up experiencing the breathtaking eifel tower at 5 in the morning. I knew this was the beginning of many long nights to come.
Off to London. Thanks j and uni. Too lucky yo be true.

Germany Pics
Thats the gothic church.
A wise man wrote this.
Crazy crowd...I like it.
My new German name.
Cologne, Germany...the conclusion
I was mistaken. Its the largest gothic cathedral in the world. It sure damn looked like it from up close.
We got about two hours of free time and bobby and I ventured over there. It was pretty awesome. At first we didn't know how to get in so we snapped away on our cameras. Finally we saw the the grand entrance and we walked it. Pretty amazing. Word on the street is that saint nick aka santa claus is buried there. I can neither confirm nor deny but I believe it.
After seeing the badass cathedral. We just walked around the square and notice a good number of asian tourist. Not only asian tourist but most of the souvenior shops were owned by asians. Then I prob stumbled onto at least five chinese restaurants, in bfe germany. What a trip.
Then onward to the cologne premiere which was amazing. The town was known for their love for tuner cars and it translated to hundreds of fans. It was way bigger and way crazier than the LA premiere. It was true fans trying to peep out a hollywood movie.
The feeling was surreal. Girls screaming for vin and paul. Guys jocking jordana and michelle. And justin was just taking it all in with a good amount of his own fans. Funny thing was germany knows him very well from his blt days and questions from the press always included something with it.
It was a great way to start off this europe premiere. And just amazing on my end cuz I got to be in the middle of it all. This is by far once in a life time opportunity and I felt so blessed to experience it.
After, we jammed to a nearby airport where our private jets awaited. Off to lille, france for premiere number two. More to follow.

Cologne, Germany
Cologne, germany...the home of the largest gothic church in Europe. No shit. It sits very high and very majestic. My view from my hotel room is of the river which I have no knowledge of the name, one of dozens of bridges, and the veiw of this gothic church on the other side of the river. Its a view we prob wouldn't get much but one that needs only open eyes to enjoy.
The channels on tv suck due to the lack of German I know. But whose suppose to be watching tv anyways on a trip like this. But let me tell u, I am one of few who like and sometimes needs a tv to fall asleep. But after a long plane ride, good sleep is in order.
Last night we grubbed down on some local cusine. Brauhauswurst w potatoes and cabbage salad. And the love for mustard came in very handy. Extremely tasty and satisfying. Prob not something I would eat everyday but def did enjoy with my one full evening in germany. And to wash it all down, some local beer, kolsch. Pretty tasty but for some reason it didn't come in a pint form. Only in this wimpy skinny glass form. None the less still a great first meal.
Tonight is the first red carpet premiere. It should be interesting since fans have already found out where the stars are staying and wait seemlessly outside our hotel waiting for an autograph. And quickly after the red carpet, off to france on a private jet. Yup I said private jet. Crazy right! One of many "crazy right!"that will be said on this trip. I was sorta looking forward to catching a few lines in the movie dubbed in German but gotta stay on this tight schedule.
Pics to come once I pick up an outlet converter. I did come prepared but had to sacrifice it for the team.

Off to the land of euros. I've been blessed with an amazing opportunity to tour europe with the new fast and furios movie. I was the assistant to the director on the movie and it premieres april 3rd. But all the red carpet events happen earlier which brings me to why I'm at the airport. I'm off to europe for nine days and get to just chill and experience that high life only a few of us get to experience.
I consider myself the luckiest person this week cuz I get to hang with my homie and mentor on someone elses dime...first class literally. Of course I don't know what to expect but chances are we'll get the VIP treatment.
I'm sitting in the united first class loung with sushi and crown and coke in hand, surfing on free internet, and about to hop on a plane to germany in 1st class. Its times like these I wonder why I deserve this. What makes me so different from everyone else? I still don't know the answer but ill def soak up the enjoyment of luxury to the fullest.
