Fatburger, What It's All About

You may be wondering why the Jive Aces go on about Fatburger so much... Or in fact you probably are not but we thought we'd show you.

A Double King Burger with Cheese and Bacon in case you were wondering

The Book Expo America

We played 2 days at the Book Expo America in downtown Los Angeles. We spent the entire time dressed as pirates to promote a series of 30's and 40's pulp fiction books being rereleased. You should have seen some of the looks we got walking through the street to the diner!

      

Ian in full plundering regalia. Hmm pity about the background...

And with a little photoshop magic, hey presto and instant pirate ship cargo hold!
