Fishy Weekend

My brother purchased a fisheye lens for our camera years ago... We hardly ever use it.

This weekend I decided I would use it all weekend.. Just because.

What I'm working with..

On Saturday we went to meet up with Lil Watcha to hit up 2 low rider picnics in San Jose.

Lil Watcha's 64 looks good on the Starwires.

After hitting the 2 shows in San Jose we headed to Frisco to distribute more Visual Mechanics and Deadend Cruise Night flyers...

While in Frisco we had to check out the Mac Dre wall finally... RIP Andre Hicks



Everywhere I go I see Dj Sho-T stickers... odd.

On Sunday I headed to the Artichoke Festival with a few friends to pass out more flyers.

The Haters!

Ran into Chino there and he told me, "Don't put me on your blog ass!" So I did.

No Weak Week

Rarely do I ever go a week without doing something fun or exciting.

Last week was no exception!

On Wednesday Night I was working on a few designs when my buddy Dj Sho-T and my brother called me to go meet them at Bankers Casino where some Bandas and Dj Sho-t would be playing in celebration of Cinco De Mayo.

The first banda to perform was pretty weak, the second banda got down.. They kept the people dancing and shouting for "Otra!" when they were done.

The cerveza & tequila was flowing that night!

On Thursday night it was all work for me! Finally I am almost caught up with designs...

Friday brought another exciting night. My brother and I headed to Oakland. Our first stop was a meat loaf dinner at Mike Lavella's. It marked my first time ever having meat loaf. Greta did an awesome job. Meatloaf was good!

After dinner we headed to the Royal Jokers Cruise Night in downtown Oakland. Good to see the usual suspects and my long lost pals Gordini & Helen.

Woke up early Saturday to head to Brizio's open house in South San Francisco with Mark, Robert and Baby Robert.

One of my favorite cars in Brizio's shop. these dudes can build some nice cars.

I think I was getting a little too close for comfort. First he tried to kick me.

Then punch me.

After Brizio's we decided to go cruise Haight for a little bit. I finally bought Z-Trip's Shifting Gears album and a couple other good cd's at Ameoba Records.

Some neat graffiti in the alley next to Ameoba.

The stairway to heaven looks nothing like this I'm guessing.

There was a few little neat scoots just sitting there. I wanted to take this one.

Speaking of Dj Sho-T. How'd those get there.

Dj Sho-T on Haight!

Casper is a big fan.

A lot of hoopla is being made about Banksy being in San Francisco. Einstein does look fresh in those Nikes.

The line has been drawn.

Live at the Fillmore - Murs & Sick Jacken

Had the pleasure to watch some really good live hip hop at The Fillmore (a great venue)

People who say Hip Hop is dead need to go watch Sick Jacken and Murs perform.

They put it down.

You gotta have a good DJ! (sorry for the crappy shots)

Sick Jacken tears it up! One of the most under rated rappers of our time.

Murs is better than your favorite rapper, admit it!

After Murs set was done, Sick Jacken came out... I had to get a pic with him, much respect.

Live at the Fillmore

So we got tickets to the Rebelution/Zion I/SOJA concert at The Fillmore in San Francisco. We bought the tickets to watch Zion I! I have seen them before and was very stoked to watch them again.... Great performers.

Things don't always go as planned.. We showed up late because we never thought Zion I would be opening the show... Well we were wrong. We missed them all together and only watched SOJA perform 2 songs... but at least we got to enjoy Rebelution!

These guys are good! I had heard of them and had 2 of their songs... but now I'm a fan... these guys kill it!





and here's a photo I took today on the way back from having lunch with The Legend...

Don't Lose Your Head

This morning I've been working a shirt design for myself to wear to the Zion I / Rebelution / Soja show tomorrow night at the Fillmore in Frisco. This is what I came up with.
