Since GotBaddog.com is going to be covering more Internet marketing events, such as Affiliate Summit West 2011, I decided I would put up some photos from the Affiliate Bash held in Beverly Hills on December 3, 2009. Affiliate Bash was the private networking event that coincided with Affiliate Convention Los Angeles 2009. It was sponsored in part by GotWebHost.com and featured Shock G of Digital Underground.
A relatively new topic I will be covering on GotBaddog.com is Internet marketing events. Tanya and I frequently attend events such as VidCon, Ad Tech and Search Engine Strategies. Since I changed the format of GotBaddog at the beginning of 2010 I do not have any photos up of prior events we attended, other than VidCon, but that is about to change. I will be attending Affiliate Summit West 2011 and the accompanying Affiliate Ball. Affiliate Summit West is a three day marketing conference that will be held at the Wynn Las Vegas from January 9-11, 2011. I have not …
I am sure, as a child, you were told to not play with your food. I know I was. Of course, no one suggested that I should not take pictures of my food. Besides, sometimes the presentation of the meal is almost as much fun as the tastiness. Heck, I would be kidding myself if I did not admit that sometimes the food looked better that it tasted. This is a compilation of some of my favorite food photos. I am trying something new here. Not only am I using a slide show format, but you have the option to …
Sleepy Hollow Christmas 2010 Candy Cane Lane, Torrance I am not really sure when the Sleepy Hollow area of Torrance, CA first began dressing up as Candy Cane Lane for the Christmas season, but it has to be close to 20 years. I have brought a few people there over the years, and no one has ever left disappointed. For several blocks, most of the homes have set up extravagant displays, to the point that entire streets are lit up. Whether Santa is riding a surfboard, Harley or sleigh; or if there are reindeer or dolphins towing him along, there …
Photos of the David Mann Chopperfest 2010 Ventura, CA – December 12 There are probably not many people that have influenced the motorcycle building community as much as David Mann. Even if you do not build motorcycles, his artwork definitely portrayed common experiences of Harley riders back in the day. The man was a living legend. Shortly after his death in 2004, the David Mann Chopperfest was conceived. Yesterday was the 7th Annual David Mann Chopperfest. The festival, held in Ventura, CA, is a combination bike show and motorcycle swap meet, with music, food, drink, vendors, art displays and lots …
Photos From Bartels’ H-D Pancake Breakfast Marina del Rey, CA – December 12, 2010 Bartel’s Harley-Davidson is the Harley dealer to the stars. I am not sure when they achieved that status, but I am pretty confident I have been coming there since before then. They were a small outfit, tucked on the side streets when I first discovered them. Since I rode my bike more frequently than the average rider, it did not take long to become recognized. I have since bought a couple new Harleys from them, including my new Limited. Yesterday, Bartel’s had a free pancake breakfast …

Mooneye’s Christmas Drags 2010 Irwindale, CA As a part of the Mooneye’s Christmas Party and car show, they also had drag races on the 1/8 mile strip. The best part of this event was that all the racers were pre-1969 vehicles only. They had some rail dragsters on display and they fired them up, but the track is not really long enough for that kind of action. It was fun watching them and practicing my action photography.
Mooneye’s Christmas Party 2010 Irwindale, CA Last year, a friend of mine from up north came into town for the Mooneye’s Christmas Party Car Show and Drags. As it was cold and raining, I did not bother going out there. I had heard that there was a decent turnout, but the rain put a damper on things, literally. This year was exactly the opposite. It was a beautiful 80 degree day out at Irwindale. There were loads of nice bikes and cars and lots of people. It was a great day to be in Southern California.
A December Day at the Shore Rancho Palos Verdes, CA A few weeks ago, while walking Buddy I met a guy that had recently moved into the area. We were discussing places to walk our dogs and he mentioned a dog beach out by the Trump National Golf Club on the Palos Verdes Peninsula. This was news to me as I thought the closest dog friendly beach to me was down in Long Beach. Today, Tanya, Buddy and I took a drive up there to check it out. The Trump National Golf Club looks amazing, but for $250 million, I …
Big Red Machine Annual Toy Run Chatsworth, CA – December 5, 2010 A Christmas tradition I have participated in for as long as I can remember is attending motorcycle toy runs. I have some great memories from them and both of my kids were regular attendees. Heck, my daughter was nursed under the shade of a Harley-Davidson at a toy run back in 1982. Since bikers always get a bad rap, I feel it is my responsibility to go to at least one a year. Today, the SFV Big Red Machine held their annual toy run to benefit needy children. …
