Long time a comin

The seasonal installment is all about the wresting; Daniel Puder and Lucha Vavoom. I was on the team in 9th grade but it was nothing like this. I guess they call it sports entertainment but that lame categorization doesn't come close to describing the actual visceral experience of it all. It is downright dangerous excitement.

Undefeated MMA'er Daniel Puder known for his unbeatable success inside and outside the ring is throwing the Cop's-n-Robbers party to benefit Cops Care Cancer Foundation at the Playboy Mansion August 23, 2008. Tickets to the event include:

• Unlimited alcohol
• Open Buffet featuring gourmet treats
• Full tour of Mansion grounds by Playmates
• Dinner and full open bar all night
• Full access to pool and historic grotto (towels not provided - swimsuits optional)
• Silent auction
• Comedy Entertainers
• Fashion Show
• Entry to the pre-party and after party
• Pre-party August 22 (9:00pm-1:00am)
• Your photo taken with Playmates or Knockouts (printed out and signed)
• Transportation to and from the Playboy Mansion
• Access to VIP Lounge at the Playboy Mansion
• Special gift bag

If you've ever wanted to go to the Playboy Mansion and really party, this is your chance. The pre party will be at Boulevard3 and will include wrestling from the knock outs from the Wet T-Shirt Wrestling Leauge. Now how can you not support wet T-shirt wrestling for kids with cancer? You can't, so get your tickets now (it's almost sold out).

Lucha Vavooooooom is an incredible series of bouts that comes around 3 times a year in July, October and February to LA and SF. Lot's of wild masks and flamboyant acts culminated in a tag team trio of 3 member teams representing Mexico, USA and Weho. I'm still not sure if the cross gendered wrestler that flew out of the ring really smashed her/his head on the floor or if it was part of the act. Either way the stoppage of the show and the entire crowd holding it's breath had me convinced he/she narrowly escaped death. Tom was there plus the Mayan Theater was worth the trip alone. Excellent night.
