This Saturday, James, Jonathan, and I went up to East Camino Cielo to go pop off some rounds. We toted Rommel (the Dobby in the pic above) with us. Pretty fun stuff. I am working really hard on handling my 9mm semi-automatic Beretta and trying not flinch when I pull the trigger. It is pretty hard. I did get better on this trip though. Going back next Sat with my brother.
That is my baby on the right. It's fucking sexy.
And the GLOCK.....
Just because we packing heat, got the shotty on lock.
Last week, I took a trip to the archives here at Powell. You would be pretty amazed on how many 80's treasures there are here. TONS! We are selling some old school tees from years ago on E-Bay this week. Once I get the link I will post, but I am interested to see how much these things go for. There are some serious collectors in the mix.
If you haven't heard, Andre Nickatina is in the house this weekend. Tomorrow night is in SLO, Friday he will be at Velvet. Hope you got your tickets because this shit is SOLD OUT!
The end of a very long day of wine tasting. Still drunkers

OG Santa Barbarian and artist, Wallace has been releasing some fresh new threads. I like the one pictured above... but is the one below original or not? What do you guys think?

Hip Hop legend Del (tron 40 40, The Funky Homosapien, Hieroglyphics) played at Velvet Jones last night. This was my third time seeing Del and I was definitely still impressed.
Last weekend was the Rincon Classic surf competition. There were a lot of good 'bros' out in the water, but Kilian Garland took the cake and won the whole thing for the 8th time (I think).
It got really good in the finals on the last day.
j7's crew was there (his team had two finalists versus the Al Merrick guys)
Tony took a break from Eight Zero Five Clothing to come support J7 Surfboards and his SB fighter Tarik K
My homeboy Matt Taylor was there from Fuel TV interviewing Kilian
The crowd at the Maritime Museum in the harbor for the awards ceremony
Sexy asses and tattoos on the beach

Paco just kicking it! I thought at one point in time during the weekend that there may be more dogs that surfers on the damn beach!
