They say once you start a blog, you can’t stop. I say you can get lazy though or just get busy with other things. I do plan on dropping up to $3gs on some new camera gear LATER THIS WEEK. I’m thinking the blog might be on berserker mode after that. We’ll see.
Hamburger Eyes collaboration board with OTHERNESS. It’s got full bleed top and bottom graphics packaged with a zine.
This is what it looks like gripped. It’s a biggie. 9″ wide and hella long. It needs 149s and 57mm wheels at least I think. But then risers too. Working on it. I will let you know the right setup when I get there.
It was rad going to the factory to pick up the boards. Turns out I already knew the owners from high school days.
Jake Michaels and Daniel Arnold had an awesome show at Slow Culture. The last show there.
They were selling all the photos right off the wall and then replacing them with new ones. This guy ruled everything.
Most of the crowd bailed too early because later in the night they hung the big ones.
An old car.
A fake blue curb.
Chuck and a fake baby.
Efdogg and Lord Den.
Tino is killing it with his new book out. I got to shoot some press photos and they used one in the LA Weekly.
At first I was just here for the holidays. And then maybe I would stay just a little longer and help the folks out. They are old and they don’t drive anymore and I will save some dough since I am looking for a new place anyways.
But then a month goes by. What day is it even? What is happening to me? Who am I?
An upgrade is happening. All systems are being fixed or replaced.
A grand healing.
I left SF and came to LA for one night. I crashed at Jamie’s crib.
Then down to SD to hang with the folks for the holidays.
It was Keith’s Bday too.
Then back up to LA to hit my storage unit real quick.
Santa at the post office surveying the land?
Back to SD.
Tango party.
Juanita’s.
My parents’ neighbor Dave dropped off a bag of presents for us. My Mom crocheted him a scarf.
