Made a quick run up to the East Bay to celebrate the marriage of fellow dethkiller Grady Gordon. From what I can remember it was a really nice wedding. Cheers to Grady and Meghan, may your journey through life together be nothing but laughs and good times. Remember the past. Love the present. Embrace the future.
Witnessed Los Doyers slay the Giants yesterday. After sitting in typical 101S to 134E to 5S traffic for an hour and parking in a sea of asphalt and cars, we get into our seats at the bottom of the 2nd inning just in the nick of time to witness Casey Blake smash one into the stands. Epic. Blake went on to hit a single RBI that sealed the game at the bottom of the 8th. Honorable mention: Chad Billingsley pitched the entire game and his 2nd career shut out. All in all the game was pretty sick despite the $10 beers and $5 Dodger Dogs, but those are kinda mandatory elements of any baseball experience, right?
Pretty sick video. I like the relation of the economy turning to shit and pool skating. Nice job.

We rolled down to San Diego over the week to see our buddys band Blackout Party play the Casbah. The show sold out and they killed it. While we were there I was able to take care of some business and see some friends I haven’t seen in awhile. I had made a bet with a friend on the Lakers/Boston finals. Obviously I won the bet. The winner of the bet became the barber for the night. In my case since I won I could cut Zellers mustache, which has been growing for 2 years, anyway I wanted. In return if he won he could cut my hair which also has been growing for the past 2 and a half years. We showed up to the Casbah and Zeller was prepared with scissors in hand to loose his stash. Unfortunately I like his stash too much so I was only able to cut one tiny, little, baby, microscopic hair just for the sake of the bet. He did surprise me with a Joe “Jellybean” Bryant basketball card from 1981. Sickest shit I have ever received. Those 19hrs in San Diego were some of the best. Thanks to everyone for all the hospitality…till next time.
Thanks to everyone who joined us for a great time. Special thanks to Insight, Filter, Vagabagabond, Love Made, Nika Water, Thalia Surf Shop and of course AsiaDog. Heartburn never tasted so good. For those of you caught slippin’ who didn’t make it out, you missed a preview of two pieces that will be showcased at our upcoming solo show in November at the POV Gallery. Be on the look out for more information coming soon.
Just spoke with Grady Gordon today and he has a show coming up in the bay area. 24 new monotypes and 40 pieces of work total. Wish I could get up there for the opening but i can’t. I am planning on going up the 24th for his wedding so hopefully I can find some time to get in the gallery. Show info below.
