Go Skateboarding Day

For Go Skateboarding Day (June 21) we will be offering this signed & numbered limited edition poster by Mike Giant: a true homage to the classic skateboard shapes that defined an era. I'll try to get the posters up around noon on Tuesday in our store. They'll be selling out for $50.00 each. Don't sleep. Go skate!

Mole, Mole, Mole

Fun corporate marketing, but damn did I wanna crash my whip into that. Run that little baby loaf right off the road.

Dinners with Giant are always the best.

Los Gigantes are also the best.

And then God created guac. And that became the best.

Have a productive Tuesday. You can do it!

This And That

Green Ass Grass vs. Lawn Mower. Grass always wins.

Me, Gigante and Miss Ria.

Dang girl! Is that a bump it?

I couldn't agree more.

BBQ joint in Brooklyn. Loved the  handles on the draft and the gallon jugs of beer.

This never gets old. How did they do that?

Happy Monday.

Ciao for now.

Painting with the Homeboys

At 8am yesterday morning I met my friends Abno and Owner on upper Haight Street to repaint these gates. It was an extra special occasion because all of us are from New Mexico! 505 up in this muhfucka!

The last time I painted this gate the store didn't open until noon. Yesterday it opened at 9am. I had barely gotten started when someone came to open the store. I was bummed, but what could I do? I guess the other stores opened earlier too, so all three of us were back at the spot at 7am this morning. I got mine finished just before the store opened.

Oh yeah!

Desert

Back in Palm Springs. I do like tequila.

Love the desert.

Sorry Peabodys Cafe, not even close. Definitely not the best Bloody Mary, let alone the best Bloody Mary EVER!!! Ok, at best. Quite subpar really.

My Lady 8er.

Tell 'em Large Marge sent ya.

Smile for me.
