Los Hermanos Cubanos II/ Eagles of Death Metal/ Taste of London

Ladies and Gentleman, I give you the second taste of my favorite live act, The Cuban Brothers. They performed at the Top Shop in Oxford Circus, free mojitos, free show. I even got to sing All Night Long with them. Best ever.

The best party in town.

Just use your bandmates bum as a drum.

Break Dancers Extrodanaire.

I think I'm born to be in the Cuban Brothers.

Jump around.

Pure craziness. Topshop at its finest.

Always putting on a good show. Cuban Brothers prevail again. If you ever get a chance to go to one of their shows. Do it.

So I got to see the Eagles of Death Metal, bad name, great band. You'll hear them soon enough.
Best mustache on a lead singer of all time.

Crazy times downstairs.

Eagles of Death Metal, view from the special people area.

Ahhh. The Taste of London. A superior dining experience.

A marvelous celebration of 40 of the best restaurants in London, held in Regent's Park. A festival of food, drink, fun, and USA almost beating Italy.

Double fistin', Ben and Eric edge closer to the front of the queue.

Nice hat Ben!, says Engman.

Come and get it.

Don't cry for me Argentina, best champagne in the world. Has nothing to do with Argentina.

Ben finds the Supermarket Sweep bottle and runs.

Switerland (Helicopters, Canyons, and Racecars)

Last train to Clarksville, I mean Interlaken.

Tire changing.

I'm very good at directing traffic.

Flat tire. Not even a big deal.

Thumbs up.

In Interlaken home of extreme sports, Canyoning is very popular, in short, Canyoning is wearing 4 layers of protection from rocks and cold water, then a steep mountain you drive up in a van, followed by jumping off rocks into shallow poopls of water, repelling, diving, and generally being sucked around currents.
The only helmet that fits says, "Playboy", little did I know that this day would be one of the best of my life.

Repelling, just like my days in the rainforests of the Amazon.

Wolfe and Schnoebelen at the bottom.

When you've already went skydiving out of a helicopter in the same day, flipping off rocks ain't nothing but a chicken wing.

As Luke jumped he made hand puppets on the rocks behind, a great show of a lion chasing an antelope.

Ladies and gentleman...Luke Schnoebelen is approaching a jump with difficulty of 8, he's focused, you can see it in his eyes. he's ready....

Cold water and contacts and rocks don't mix.

The rock in Delhi has got nothing on Switzerland.

Canyonball....

Group pee.

Come on in the water is warm. Not really.

Flowers in your hair.......

The Jumpers.

View just like I-80.

Brad: Luke?
Luke: Yeah!
Brad: Were holding up traffic.
Luke: Yep.
Brad: What should we do.
Luke: Just pretend we can't see them.

Which way is skydiving?

Swiss flag.

Middle name on the 'copter.

Zip it on up!

For your 24th Birthday we're going to make this really tight!!!!!!!!!

Stefan: Luke
Luke: Yeah.
Stefan: Is this tight?
Luke: I hope so.
Stefan: How about now?
Luke: (Refrain, breath, yelp)

Just tighten that harness really tight. Barry Gibb called he wants his signing voice back.

And we're off......

We were about 80 feet from the sun.

Totally re-assuring, the whole blade thing 2 feet above your head before you fall out.

It was a good thing I had a grown man who I'd known for 20 minutes strapped onto my back to keep me warm.

This is only halfway there.

Brad-Blue Luke-Yellow

Sideways spinning and flipping, so relaxing and totally safe.

The landing, we avoided all the pre-pre made swiss cheese and had a great landing.

After the jump, extreme adrenaline rush.

Evening Alps.


Alps.

The helicopter we rode in. Absolutely beautiful.

If I've told you once, I've told you 1,000 times, nur fur kunden.
