The Spring Collection!

I stopped by the warehouse on Saturday to check out the photoshoot for our new Spring '11 collection.

My buddy Francisco was the featured model. He did a great job.

And our homie Dylan got the shots.

I'm loving all the new cut 'n sew garments. I love the graphics we got from Andrei Bouzikov too! Don't sleep. This stuff will sell out fast.

If you're in SF on Thursday night, stop by the Patricia Sweetow Gallery at 77 Geary Street. My friend Robyn Twomey is showing portraits of medical marijuana smokers, including one of yours truly. The opening is from 5:30 to 7:30PM.

Also, my homies in the Macaframa bike crew are throwing a party at The Medicine Agency on Saturday night. The Agency is located at 1262 Mason near Jackson. For more info, click here. Hope to see you out there!

That's Life

Chez Maman cheeseburgers are off the hook.

The Red Carpet Club at United is nice and all, but why are their cereal bowls so damn small?

Always trouble on my block.

Happy Friday!

My Ass Is On Fire

Went to a great Chinese spot that had illustrations of tiny asses on fire, symbolizing the spice level of the dish.

Personally, I think Smart cars are retarded. But you really can't front on this parking job.

Suadero and lengua. Delicioso.

The security cam missed a spot.

Spring '11 is in stores worldwide. Go get it!

Gypsy With A Sushi

Had sushi with a gypsy the other day.

I gnawed on a fish eye.

And had my very first sushi burrito. Bomb.

Big thanks to @chefontherun. Check out Kiji on Guerrero St. in San Francisco.

The Final Countdown

The trip to Thailand is coming to an end. We spent the last 3 days in Railay Beach which was the perfect place to end this amazing journey. It took us a ferry (the wrong one), a taxi van, a longtail, a tractor and finally, dragging our own luggage through the mud. But we made it!

We decided to splurge on the hotel since it was the last leg of the journey. This is the pool at the Bhu Nga Thani resort.

Snack time. Seaweed shrimp tempura or  Mediterranean fisherman? I say tall, dark and handsome for the win.

Homemade barbwire fence is gangsta'.

There is shrine built inside the limestone cave which is dedicated to an ancient fertility goddess. Inside tis a collection of phallic symbols, offerings and objects believed to help with fertility.

Mister Man AKA Mr. Mac The Baby.

Monkey business.

Maybe I will be a fisherman in my next life.

Final, fin, finito, slutet. This was the final day. Leaving with tears in my eyes, I count down the days to my return.

Kob kun kaa. Pom kit teung koon.

Ciao for now.

The LA River

Just finished a 2-hour ride on the LA river bike path. It reminded me of the paths I used to ride everyday in Albuquerque.

I just wish I saw more folks on bikes down here. The cars are killing me.

The California Life!

I was catching tiles on my old Dogtown board in this bowl at the Culver City Skatepark this afternoon. Awesome!

Loving the weather in SoCal. Seeing lots of REBEL8ers out there! Thanks for the support, y'all!

24-Hours In Vegas

There are quite a few blogs on the web this week from Vegas. Naturally so, it's Magic! But I went, and saw, and was not impressed. Some of the "brands" showing are as pathetic as Shakira's signature.

Zoom/really?

I did see a gross Red Rocker 100 oz. guitar though.

Went to the Set Your Goals & Parkway Drive show at the House of Blues. I love seeing random people rocking R8!

Got fucked up backstage.

Then straight off to the Famous party. So much fun! Famous is family.

Yela, Bun and Trav. I can't wait until Trav's album Give The Drummer Some drops. You'll know what's up! And I'm loving the latest video from Yelawolf and Bun B.

The Jew and Carla.

Jasmine, Nicole, Kia, Kendra, Krystal, and Carmen were also in attendance.

And with 3-hours sleep, it was me, Dougernaut and The Jew on the short train to our plane.

We good to go. Good to go.

I'm back in SF and I'm off again somewhere else tomorrow. Have fun!
