I’m very glad I wasn’t at this party

 

OUT/ABOUT

Equilibrio Saturday Oct. 10th

This night marks my first photography showing of everything I love that I’ve done. I’ve selected everything relative to the theme “BALANCE”  (which I never thought would be so vague). I hope everyone can come, and I hope everyone enjoys it. I’m am grateful to have several other photographers showing along with me, all of whom’s work I adore. Check the lineup and come through between 9pm-midnight to see the works. If your feeling like you don’t want to call it a night yet… stay and party until 4am for the afterhours. There will be several AMAZING dj’s on deck and enough space for you, me, and kobe bryant’s ego. =)

The EK5 x Extra Butter shirt collab gallery

E.Rok of EK5 will be having the opening of his new loft/gallery space this Saturday during the Pomona artwalk (which is the 2nd saturday of every month if u don’t already know). I was asked to show some photography relative to the elements of hip hop. The theme for the night is “Beat Street” and yes, we will be showing the movie continuously. In celebration of a collaborative shirt by East coast Extra Butter and West Coast Ek5obition Clothing inspired by the movie. Live in store performance by Battle Monkeys and Squishy Docious Crew.

Snacks and bboys and photography and dj’s and well…. the only thing missing is you.  =)

FINALLY.. the LA fair, 1st and last visit ever

It’s huge… and hard to deal with so many people. I’ll stick to small town and non big city thank you much.

HIJINX battle

This past weekend Sept. 26 was the first edition of HIJINX in Ontario presented by bboy crew Squishy Docious. As hot as it was, I was pleased to see how many heads turned out for this evening. From 4pm-10:30 bboys from all over cali worked the floor of the Dance Shop. 3 on 3 battles ensued along with my sweat glands and dehydration damn near took me out. Everyone stuck it out…. all for the love of breaking!!!!

All in all… very good job boys… AND GIRLS. Congrats to Back to the Future for the win and grand prize money, Ek5obition Clothing and all the other sponsors. Head on over to the EK5 site for more info on future events and clothing links. Headstone shops in socal will be carrying their gear soon, check em out for some gear at any of the shops.

Peanut is like Buttah

This past tour of PB Wolf… the sure to be infamous “999″ tour, definitely left it’s mark with me. While plenty of the events took place in the LA area, the I.E. and Orange County were lucky to have his presence. One night took him to Sevilla’s for Mondays event MOREFIRE in Riverside, I was working and not able to catch his set. Although my homey RICK made it a daily duty to hit up every single show! THANKS FOR MAKING ME LOOK BAD BTW.  You can check alot of his videos here.

Tuesday rolled around and his set at Continental Room was long awaited…. literally I stood in the same spot for 3 hours just to take pictures. While every night was in a different area code, PBWolf didn’t play any song twice and was accompanied by a projector and screen showing and playing all 90’s MUSIC, not just hip hop. I truly am glad I did not miss this. It was epic and undeniably one of my favorite shows. Enjoy the pics. More to come ….

Keys N Krates

It’s been a minute since I actually wrote an event blog. So many things going on I get lost in all the photos and then… i’ll say it… I get too lazy to upload. HA! All good, today is the official “back on track” day for me and I’m all over them from here on out.

I promise?!

Keys N Krates (youtube em if you don’t know) came to the Dakota Lounge in Santa Monica Sept 4th and tore the damn roof off. They have a remix ability unparalleled to what I’ve seen thus far. With a drummer, keyboardist (pianist makes me laugh), and DJ… the original version of your favorite song never stood a chance. I am grateful for the opportunity to see this group live. The internet does NOT do them justice, they come with more energy than a 5 yr old hyped up on a gallon of koolaid.

Foodies

STep 1: get on the Metro and ride

STep 2: Avoid individuals after making eye contact whereafter they attempt to sit closer to you and engage in an HORRIFIC attempt to pick you up

Step 3: Eat at Far Bar and stuff your face with the best burger ever made (as of that moment)

MURDERED…… TWICE

STep 4: Enjoy Sake for the rest of the night and let it ride. All bets are off and the world is my oyster.

And the journey continues…….
