Marina Swap

Woke up early this past Saturday morning to check out the Marina Swapmeet with my homeboy Silk.

He was looking for parts for his motorcycle build. I was just looking.

Roscoe's roadster always looks good!

There was a bunch of nice stuff.. Wish I had more money

I really wanted to get these for a van I don't have

Despite driving a Hummer this dude had some nice Triumph and Harley stuff.

I had to get these, they're cool and I talked the guy down to the right price.

Knock Offs

Too bad it was just the box.

Really cool!

DOT approved?

I got out of there with Hubcaps, A license plate frame that reads "Lets boogie," and a Rod Powell designed hat. Silk found some fog lights that will be turned to a headlight for his moto and some red lenses that might make neat tail lights.

The Marina Swapmeet is growing every year and there is always some deals!

Weekend Warrior

Wikipedia: Weekend is a term referring to two traditionally non-working days in a seven-day week...

Me: Weekend is a term referring to two traditionally car show going or car shooting days.

Well this past weekend I did manage to go to a couple shows... A little different than your usual shows.

FRIDAY: Got off work a little early picked up my brother and camera and headed to San Jose to pick up Lil Watcha.

That's the lil ninja...

Then we headed to downtown Oakland to visit The Royal Jokers' First Cruise Night http://www.royaljokers.blogspot.com/

The location was 1/4 Lb Giant Burger.. nice little spot


A few of the cars that showed up

Big Watcha is everywhere... even at the Oakland First Friday Artwalk.

More of the cars.

When in Oaktown you're guaranteed to see some Police brutality, oh wait they're letting the guy get in the Police car himself. How nice of them.


You know how I know you're gay?


The Mejia Merc is "too many fancy"

SATURDAY: Wanted to wake up early to head out to the Marina Swapmeet and sell some junk, but I woke up too late (story of my life) so I just went to go look around with my friend Knowie. He bought some tools (actually ripped a guy off) and I bought a sweet Dick Tracy toy.

Nice wheels, wish I had the money to buy them.

Nice moto with a little 110 motor.

Future Hot Rodder!

That's me with Low Riding legends, Chaco (old school photographer for Lowrider Magazine in the late 70's and Rod Powell)

A nice little bus.

Then I went home to get picked up by Silk so we could go to the Monterey Beerfest.
Salud!

This one's for you

It's pretty cool to see some of my work being served at the Beerfest

Hipsters are the new jocks... Think I could pull that look? haha

Then later that day I went to help my friends move into their new home. On Sunday I woke up really late, like afternoon late and went to help my friends again. I see many nights hanging out at their new home in my future.
