In TEXAS
Last day in San Antonio for biz meetings. I decided to get lost for a few moments in King Williams

Since a long time ago
A little fixer upper for sale
Can be yours for the special price of…
Andy Warhol’s Fame and Misfortune was exhibiting at the Mcnay
Trust me, it was good
How about some other “goodness”
You are what you
Smart
My whip for the day
None at all
Spread the love
Drop bombs
This past week, I checked in with 686 faction member, Elliott Neese, who mans the boat named Ramblin’ Rose on Discovery Channel’s “Deadliest Catch.” In case you didn’t know, Deadliest Catch is in its eight season and just finished its 100th episode to over 6 million viewers, making it the #1 non-sports prime-time cable telecast.
All that aside, Elliott is a one of a kind dude. Check him out running our outline T and badge hat
The earth’s surface is covered by 70.9% water. Of this, 96.5% of the water is salt, 1.7% is from the ground, 1.7% from glaciers and the rest is from air, vapor or precipitation. Safe drinking water is essential for the survival of life forms on earth. Over one billion people lack safe drinking water and almost 3 billion lack sanitation of clean water.
This little thing cost $50 and can filter contaminated water into safe drinking water. $50 can save hundreds of people’s lives. Wanna learn more? Check out Jon Rose’s eye opening endeavor
I made my way from LA past the orange curtain and visited my friend Bob at Hurley for lunch. Of the many things we rapped about, was the need for clean drinking water, the current state of the industry and how Hurley’s roots are forever engrained from the Sea. Speaking about the sea, how about some sushi for lunch
My favorite, Albacore!
I think it’s also Bob’s as well
After lunch, he showed me around their “campus.” Their global HQ is broken down into a series of department building pods with each area having their own personality. Take for example, the receptionist building is also their art gallery SPACE.
Guess who’s currently showing
Do you notice the constant theme at the campus?
CR Stecyk III has done more for skateboarding, photography and the art community than anyone I know
The creative and design building is located at the back of the campus, led by Bob’s son, Ryan. Take it from me, the place is pretty insane. Sorry I can only show you a little preview
Well, maybe a little more
They did some limited bikes last year with my friend, Eric who runs LDG. If you’re in the neighborhood, drop by and give Eric a high five
Did I mention they also have a building dedicated to music? A custom stage
A custom built recording studio (which NOFX just dropped by earlier this week)
Lots of cred to prove it
Go in the water. It’s free and fun
Fun boards = fun times
All the buildings have limited access to them but I think Bob’s office building is the most inspiring. I wish I could show you why (besides Bob’s desk), but you’re gonna have to take my word that Bob’s passion to Inspire the Youth, constantly Innovate, always Conserve, support Art, Music, and the Sea is a force to be reckoned with. Inspire the next generation. Pass it on…
Last year when the Simpson showcased their 500th episode, it left some heads disappointed after all the hype. From an outsider looking in, I personally thought they killed it. The mash up intro, itself was over the top.

Over 23 years ago when the Simpson’s first debuted, skateboarding ruled my world. Anything that had to do with skating, I was into. It’s no coincidence that Bart and I had something in common- -I guess that’s why I found this on my desk.
Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaart, c/o: Mr. Phillips

I was in the West Hollywood area today and decided to stop by and catch up with some old homies. The Kings of Fairfax x Sunset
D, Rob, Chris, BJ, E and the entire Crooks N Castles family are up to some high level sh*t, coming your way very soon. Do you see it in this photo?
I think E knows, but he isn’t telling y’all yet
I’ll give you a hint. It has something to do with masked men and $
Sorry, you’re gonna have to wait. Stay tuned . . .
A few weeks ago I paid a visit to my friend, Rob at SLVDR and now something mysteriously shows up on my desk.
Rob’s trademarked trademark
Overlay is Gray
Who needs hangtags when you have a pouch for your shades
…And make sure you bet on SLVDR
As a student going to South Central every day for school at USC, this is forever engraved in my mind. I must have passed by Florence and Normandie a few hundred times over my time there. This is where the LA RIOTS started twenty years ago. Close to 60 people lost their lives.
