Camera Ready in SF

3 day in San Francisco for a Vans catalog shoot

 I met up with my good friend Jordon first thing off the plane and hit the newish SOMA park

Crackheads scurried like cockroaches at the sound of our skateboards on the way to this park

 This ass clown was there 

 After a bloody mary brunch we went over to Jordon's GF Casey's place in the panhandle

Epic backyard / garden vibes

Very rare in the city

 The mandatory rooftop beer while in SF

Quite a sketchy climb with a beer in hand...

 "Can you two kiss over there by the view?"

 Casey was the proud owner of this gorgeous long hair tuxedo cat Bart

I should have stole him

 After a buttload of beer we hit the DIY spot Waller and scorched some slides on this beaut

Total quarter pipe boner

You know when you bite your cheek and then keep biting it because that piece of skin now sticks out between your bite?

This injury is like that...always popping open

 A new day, new roof, new clothes

Here the "talent" rests between shots

Next stop we all got a contact high from the communal Haight house behind Amoeba 

 Stoner cats aplenty 

His name was probably Cheshire or Scabs  

 Dogs asking for spare change n' shit

After the days shoot I bailed on the group dinner and got a home made meal of ribs, sweet potato fries, kale and a nice salad

Jordon's face is how I felt too

 The next morning the make up lady had to cover up those late night beers from the night before

Our first location was this epic waterfall slide

A total children death trap that wouldn't fly with today's helicopter parents

 The stoke was evident here though

 Casting for a Double Mint Gum commercial or just blondes having more fun?

 Shade being thrown via telephone on Mission St. 

 Beryl Heights, where dog walkers go to heaven

 Quite a photogenic place I must admit

This must be the Lookbook District North

 You mess with the scab, you get the blood

An homage to Ed Templeton's Deformer cover

 I had to save James from falling off the edge 

 This slobber monster!

 Squad be high AF

 Go shorty its yo birthday

Dog was probably fucked up on Bacardi 

 Drive by wants

 Da crew sippin brew 

 Our Uber driver

Collar popped, buttons bursting, bluetooth fedroa jauntily ascue 

 The final shot of the shoot

 Legend and super nice guy Tobin Yelland was behind the lens the whole time so you know the shoot was extra chill

This is probably a fetish somewhere

 Jake Phelps sighting #2

The first sighting he was in a hurry bombing a sidewalk we were on and shoed us out of the way. I learned from instagram he was on his way to get a photo op with the SF Giants World Series trophies haha

 Camera roll call at the last supper

L to R: Tobin, Irie, Me and Casey Jones

A couple of Guy-Thai

 The South American breakfast before the plane at Sunrise Cafe. Plantains and shit!

If the plane crashed and this was my last meal, Id be ok with that

Spicoli had me grinning on the way back to Long Beach

"This is OUR time Mr. Hand"

Shout out to Jet Blue for the free inflight time killer

'Till next time internet friends!

48 Hours of Sin

Two days in Las Vegas, NV with Freckles

 Loading up Mike's Prius like a Tetris level

Scooter not included

A little Circle J on the way

Very relaxing drive from then on

 MySpace whiteout filter for the appearance of perfect skin

 Hit the OG Del Taco in Barstow

They have a special menu here where they just put tomato hats on existing classics

 I got the Barstow exclusive Bun Taco

No shame here

 I like to think a cat ran across the keyboard while they were typing this sign out

We met up with our connect, artist Evan Rossell  pictured here, Fairfaxing in front of his mural

He was the one who lined us up with Skullcandy to play a show at the CES convention

We got to the convention just in time to catch the Cosmonauts play the rest of their 2 hour (!) set

Apparently their shit was going viral

Skullcandy treated us to some Moroccan food, belly dancers and all

Our Moroccan Long Islands quickly turned into Turkish coffee since we had to bail early to play a show downtown at The Griffin

After dinner Josh was feeling

Over to the Griffin on Fremont street 

I was surprised how cool downtown was and bummed I didn't visit earlier 

The next day we decided to go inside at the world largest convention before we played our set at 4pm

Here some DJ that no one knows plays someone else's song while some girls shake it for old dudes on cell phones

"My word!, I can see the goosebumps on her fanny!"

 Virtual reality driving simulation where your wife isn't in the car nagging you

 Punks for profit

Wait...punks don't wear suits!?

 Definition so sharp you can film it and trick your friends into thinking you have an exciting life visiting all the national parks

New software that can make anyone's singing voice sound good

CC: Eddie Vedder, dude from Stone Temple Pilots 

"I know you asshole!"

Iron Man wanted to wish us luck before we hit the stage

We nailed our 2 hour set and hit the dusty trail back home later that night

Thank you McKenna, Evan Rossell and Skullcandy
