Affliction was handing out gift bags. I took one and then brought it back downstairs to the Christmas tree because I didn't want to carry it all night. Tracy told me that too as soon as I picked one up. I should have listened to her first lol. There was a Skinnie Magazine inside, some stickers and flyers, and an Affliction shirt.
They had an open hosted bar serving this vodka called Nuvo (I think that's how you spell it). I had three orange juice and Nuvo's and they were great! ha! While mingling at the bar I got to meet a couple of people from Affliction. Tracy and I noticed Josh Barnett walking in and we stopped to say Hi to him. He kept talking about his favorite Filipino foods like pancit and adobo. It brought the biggest smile to my face. He has such a great presence about him. I really can't wait to see him fight again.
Tracy and I...
There were a lot of IMMAE's clients there obviously a bunch of people from the MMA industry was there. Skinnie Magazine was one of the parties sponsors and we are one of their clients. It was nice to run into a lot of familiar faces that I haven't seen since our last event like Ryan from OTM and Ben from ADX. As soon as the third floor was getting packed people were stressing off of getting the VIP wristbands for access to the rooftop. I started to stress too cause Jaycee was taking forever to get to Kress and I was worried by the time he got there the VIP wristbands would be all gone.
Me and Ryan from OTM
By the time Jaycee and his friend Avo got there, Razor Rob McCullough and Ken Pavia got there too. So I quickly bbm'ed Tracy to get some VIP bands from Tom Atencio. They were all on the list, they just weren't letting them in because of the wristband issue. Needless to say everyone got in.
It took forever for the elevator to come down and while we were waiting Tracy snapped this photo...

There were so many fighters and people from the MMA industry the entire rooftop was packed. Good thing I had extra drink tickets haha... and good thing Tracy doesn't drink either cause she gave me hers lol. We found ourselves having good conversations with Jason Mayhem Miller and Jaime Fletcher. By this time I must have had 8 drinks... On our way out we stopped by to say Bye and Thank You to Tom Atencio and took a quick picture.
Me and Jikka Jaycee rockin' our scarfs to the club lol

I was surprised because all that alcohol didn't hit me much. When we left Tracy and I hit up Del Taco for some 99 cent Chicken Soft Tacos! Mmmmm... I don't know what it is about those tacos, but they always do it for me after the club lol. It wasn't until I got home the alcohol started to hit me. By the time I got home I ate my tacos, bbm'ed Jaycee to make sure he got home safely, and then I passed out. I woke up the next day with a huge headache and found myself working out at Runyon Canyon with Drea to sweat it out.
But the Christmas party was fun. I got to see a lot of people I haven't seen in a while...
