Ugly Sweater Party

The nice people at the Saloon in Encinitas let us have Volcom's 1st annual Ugly Sweater Party on December 18th. An open bar and DJ Wade pretty much set the mood for the night. Here are a few photos to give you an idea of how much fun was actually had.

Buuuuurito

Yes, it does get cold in Encinitas. Now if it would only start snowing......

Lag Time

Pardon me for the lack of updates in the past few months. I am making a conscious effort in 2008 to update this thing with new photos as much as I can.
Until then here is a photo of the crew that went paint balling for Joel's Birthday.

The Man Who Souled the World

I just picked up a copy of The man Who Souled The World at one of my accounts in Arizona. With the whole Dogtown and Z-Boys documentry hoopla going around in the past 2 years I was kind of skeptical on another documentry on skateboarding. With a few hours to kill in my hotel room I popped in this DVD and was glued to the screen. It documnets the rise and mutiny of World Industries and other brands legend Steve Rocco created. This movie will make you see skateboarding from the early 90's in a whole new light. Steve Rocco did whatever the fuck he wanted and managed to take down the top 3 skateboard companies in one fail swoop. I highly reccomend buying, burning or borrowing this movie. No matter how you get it you NEED to watch it. Steve Rocco is a genius!

Musica

Went to the Casbah last night and saw one of the best shows I have seen in a long time.........except for the Weakerthans a month ago. It was the boys from Delta Spirit's CD release show for their new album Ode to Sunshine.
If you haven't already done so I highly suggest you go grab yourself a copy, it's amazing.
Ex-The Colour members, We Barbarians, opened the show. Not having heard We Barbarians yet, but being a fan of The Colour, I got down there early. Enjoyed a tall can of PBR and was blown away. We Barbarians are the real deal. Check Them out for yourself http://www.myspace.com/webarbarians

Julian is Awesome

I snapped a few photos awhile back while visiting my good friend Derek in Julian at his house in the woods. Derek, Tim, Kyle and I went on a hike it this little lake. Crazy that you can drive an hour and a half of San Diego and be in the wilderness. I should do that more often.

Broken Bones

Broken bones are no fun, especially the last few weeks of Summer. I broke my wrist 2 weeks a go and now I have this wicked accessory. I get is chopped to a forearm cast in a week and a half. Makes me realize how I took the little things for granted like eating with a knife or riding a bike. I had to put the fixie away, but I still have the cruiser.
