2 hours into the Tijuana portion of my band's music video shoot we were surrounded by Mexican police, who at first seemed to have our best interests in mind. They warned us that it was a very very dangerous street we were shooting on. We wanted to say 'Thank You' and be on our way. But they continued to warn us that it was dangerous- that at any moment we could be surrounded by many people with firearms that would rob us. Taking a look at the current situation it became clear that that was what was happening right now. We were being robbed by the Mexican police. After harassing us for over an hour and threatening us to go to the "judge", they walked away with $400 of our dollars. Mexican police: 1. Watch Me Burn: 0. Assholes.

The rest of the trip was nice. We went and had a nice meal in Rosarito after that, and then got some great footage at a Mexican cemetary. But apparently an RV with a metal band inside is very suspicious so we got stopped again at the border. After a one hour inspection with 2 K-9's the Border patrol was satisfied that we were not hiding any drugs or immigrants. Assholes.

It's good to be home. I like watching the squirrels outside of my window eat pine cones.
I have a very busy week ahead of me. Lots of naked girls.
And then I think I'm ready to get back on set. I miss playing with big movie cameras. And I miss the money for sure. I think I better make a few phone calls...
