SUP

shot some pics of some friends working the paddle in the surf. went out myself, had a blast, such a great way to explore the coast and get a great workout. make sure to stop by and say hi to tommy (SUP paddler below) as he is opening up a SUP shop in laguna this march. it will be the one stop shop for everything stand up, from lessons to boards, from training to paddles, they will have it all.

mtn high

visited my good friend and old roommate josh while i was down in socal. josh is the man with the master plan at mountain high. had a blast riding around with the socal bros, love the mountain high fashion scene... please see below.

lots of jerseys to be found... plenty of kobe and a couple lebron but here are a few more obscure teammates

gotta respect the pippen

dueling helmet cams, not gonna miss anything

here are the only 3 skiers that were at mtn high, they were kept somewhere on the other side of the mountain

view from the high of mtn high

a few more fantastic fashion choices...

the best kit of the day, no joke. i was sitting with two girls who went from laughing at him to straight wanting to sleep with him. the power of the moustache. believe it

friday night lights

went down to canton, oh to shoot the red bull tailgate for the high school state football championships... people in ohio love football.

wtf friday #48

man, how does this guy keep a straight face with these answers?

this makes me sad to be from ohio... just for the record, we are not all like this.

seriously

thank you

to everyone who came out and supported the show at the pop shop, i am super appreciative and cannot thank you enough. the show is up until the 26th of december so feel free to stop by and give a look. a special thanks to anyone who purchased a piece. it is very gratifying to know that your work is enjoyed.
below are a few pics of the gallery which are courtesy of the pop shop.

comeback

i am not a huge in the know fashion guy, never real cutting edge with my look and never really have my finger on the pulse... thus when i see someone else rocking a fresh look it is usually a surprise to me because i never knew it was cool or once again acceptable. i haven't been as surprised or excited a look was back since they reissued frogskins... this kid is rad and so is his haircut, believe it

movie clip monday #32

hope you had a happy fucking thanksgiving...

wtf friday #47

i just don't get it...

happy thanksgiving!

completely poached this photo from embry rucker's blog, but it is simply amazing and really put me in the thanksgiving mood... hope it does the same for you. gobble gobble

just a reminder

come say hi...

"how do i know your not a wierdo?"
"uhh, would a wierdo do magic in a bar?"

good music

good weekend for good live music. went to what is quickly becoming my favorite place to see a show, the beachland ballroom on saturday night to see drummer.

drummer is made up of a 5 guys who are all drummers or who have been drummers for other bands. most notably the band was formed by black keys drummer Pat Carney. a group made up of five drummers, in this band only one of those drummers actually gets to do any drumming... a great band, really talented musicians, the kind of people that make you wonder what you have done with your life... i mean i can barely play the kazoo.


the first opening band was pretty amazing too. royal bangs was an unexpected treat for me and i would recommend checking them out if the opportunity arises.

without a doubt if you ever are in cleveland, make sure to check out what the beachland has going on. that night it was $10 to get in the door. three bands where playing in the ballroom and two bands where playing in the tavern. do the math...$2 a band, that is like a mcdonalds cheeseburger per band and think how much you save by avoiding the transfat and cholesterol that comes with a death patty from McD's.

the beachland ballroom, saving lives.

fall

hasn't quite fallen, but without a doubt is in the process...
