I never got around to posting these pics from our Memorial weekend camping trip up to Lake Pyramid. It’s always good to get away from L.A. even if it is just for a couple days, to just chill with good friends and take in the scenery. Speaking of scenery, you gotta love D.Tea from Venice Racket in his super authentic, union approved, American flag suspenders. Although the water was a bit too cold for warm blood, we still got to soak up some rays and hike around a bit. Campfires, booze, blunts and nature. I love America.

Ink N Iron is always one of my favorite events. When we talk say “Respect the Trade”, Ink N Iron truely incorporates three amazing trades with remarkable examples of each. Tattooing, Custom Car Building and Music. That’s what the scene is at Ink N Iron and there is a bunch of it. You couldn’t image the amount of detail and craft that goes into each and everyone of the cars and tattoos. People from all over the world flock to hang out in a parking lot and a stuffy run down ship for the love of Ink and Iron. If you get the chance to go, I highly recommend it. Just be prepared to stand in line for a few hours. And by be prepared, I mean throw a 12 pack in a back pack and bring a bottle of sunscreen.

Obviously I can’t post all the picks otherwise you’ld be scrolling for days but feast your eyes on a few of my favs from the weekend. If you didn’t know, I’m an El Camino fanatic so I’m like a fat kid in a super fat candy store when I stumbled across Elcos like the killer green and white one you’ll see below. We where also glad to see our neighbors from the Devils Car Club representing Venice. They have got a super sick collection and are simply great guys. Besides all of the eye candy (cars, tats and pin up chicks) it was great hanging out with the girls and my homie D.Tea from VeniceRacket.com

OH… and M-CAT, you owe me a car cleaning for your drunken kettle corn shenanigans. HA!

Somehow or another we ended up on the list for E3 this year and I gotta say that the best thing about it was grabbing a quick bite at the NOM NOM Truck outside of the Staples Center. Best Banh Mi i’ve had. I’m only partially joking when I say that. The expo was kinda cool considering I’ve been out of the gaming scene for quite a while. I’m big on the classic games like Duck Hunt, Donkey Kong, Excite Bike (which I actually got to play on a new Nintendo 3DS) and the whole Capcom array. So, I want to paint a picture for you to sum up E3. Picture the fantasy vixens from your childhood dreams (aged like cheep scotch) times the number of new games released, times the number of new gaming consoles available, times 3. Now add 3 times as many “gaming industry professionals” (nerds) and add a ton of noise, flashing lights and a shit load of electronics. Here are a few pics I snapped of things that stood out to me. I’m looking forward to Ink and Iron this weekend. Should be a little more up my ally.

I’m running way behind on certain posts and this is definitely one of them. Regardless, here are some of our shots from Glow in Santa Monica by the pier this year. It’s really just a bunch of people brown bagging out on the beach checking out some crazy art instillations set up in the sand and digging the glow from the ferris wheel and roller coaster on the pier.

Got a few random pics from a vegetarian BBQ pool party at our Los Feliz homies place. Aaron and Joe (AKA Bzuka Joe) are fucking assassins in the kitchen and always throwing down for all the friends. I thought this was going to be the BBQ that marked the end of summer but with the crazy heat wave we’ve been having in Los Angeles (110+) we might be able to squeeze in a few more. Oh, and if you can’t tell, vegetarian BBQ makes people happy. If they aren’t happy, it wasn’t cooked right.
