Hip Hip Hurray, I was invited to compete in HGTV’s “SHOWDOWN!”  SHOWDOWN is a design/build competition HGTV puts together in a Hollywood studio where they pit two teams of two HGTV hosts against each other in a fierce battle to out design and out build one another. They flew me to Hollywood and made me feel like a rock star.  I can’t show you the finished product (you’ll have to tune in at 9 pm on March 1, 6 pm for Direct TV viewers and HD broadcast), but you can check out my super low quality Iphone images expounding my experience, door to door.

The Showdown producers ask if I require ground transportation and I think about it for a about half a second and figure “hell ya!”  Yahoo!  My own Limo!  Louie picks me up and faithfully dumps me at Oakland International with my favorite transportation tool- my super long board which turns out to be a crucial tool later during construction.

Check out this video HGTV threw together.  I’m in Orange transporting a big pillar on my skateboard and initiating a pillow fight with  my partner Frank.  Fun stuff!
