KEVIN G'S B-DAY BASH FRIDAY THE 13TH LBC.

2009-03-16T14:07:00.000-07:00

The shiz was off the hizzook! Good friend John from Hampton Productions put together Kevin G's B-day gig last Friday the 13th. A double decker london bus with a open bar and a Band? How the f do you put a band on the bus! John managed to pull it off. The bus could be heard from blocks away coming up to the next light. Im sure if you were to see it, you would do a double take, then say WTF? Then wish you were on it. But the 44 people people that did make it on the bus had the time of there life, even the band was amuzed and said this was the raddest thing ever. Pick up was at Alexs Bar in Long Beach, the bus took us to another water hole / piss stop. Jumped back on then headed back to Alex's Bar after the band did there last set. We all got off and got the party started in Alex's bar listening to the One Man Legend PHIL SHANE! It was one heck of a friday and still left room for the weekend to hit other parties needed to attend, but i don't think any other b-day parties could come close to what "BUS #38" had going on!

Thanks to:
Hampton Productions - For putting it all together and nailing it!
Long Beach Loop - for putting up with us.
Badtown (band) - Rocked hard!
Archies - Beer Donations
Jules- for bartending and looking her best!
Alex - owner of ALEX'S BAR for being the coolest cat!
and of course all the freinds that were on board!!

thanks for the RADDEST bday ever!

2009-03-10T12:17:00.000-07:00

Looking forward to this movie hardcore. I appreciate everything about the way Rob Zombie remade Halloween. This continuation of Halloween II is said to stray a little from the original story - but I know he wont let us down. Just the way the sets are made, the color, the costumes... for those of you havent seen his remake - check it out!

THE LIL KING of the ISLANDS.

2008-11-18T06:51:00.000-08:00

This Ukulele " Jumping Flea" is a CONCERT series made of mahogany wood with steel tuners. I have a 6 string acoustic guitar as well. But i have to say there is nothing like a ukulele and it's smooth sound of island "beach" comfort. What's also cool is you can take it anywhere without it being a hassle of being so big. Fits in your backpack! (Kevin G.)

Today the ukulele is used in many modern styles and blends of Reggae, Rock and Traditional Hawaiian music, used both as a rhythm and as a lead instrument. With this new popularity, the ukulele has had many new innovations to the instrument itself. Along with the standard four-string soprano concert, tenor and baritone ukes, there are now six-, seven-, eight- and nine-string instruments being made. But one thing is for sure, the tiny little stringed instrument, that has endured the musical roller coaster, is finally getting the respect that it deserves and is here to stay, but of course, a 100 years after its introduction to Hawaii, any Hawaiian musician could have told you that.

NERF NERD

2008-09-30T11:19:00.001-07:00

Okay if you work in an "office space" full of designers like myself or sales etc. Then you would totally understand and appreciate the NERF WEAPON! There is always time for a Nerf shoot out or just shoot someone for the heck of it! But these guys straight out got DOWN, this is yet by far the best NERF war video ever made. We kept looking at it and noticed the VULCAN MACHINE GUN in the video which was not released at the time we found this video. So we figured this must be the NERF GROUND ZERO office!! Fkn RAD!!!!!!!!! ENJOY........
Here are a couple Nerf Guns we modified at work one has a silencer which i made from a water bottle.

KISS ROCKS WITH VANS!!

2008-09-26T06:48:00.000-07:00

Vans, the original skate shoe company, and legendary rock band KISS have announced the Vans x KISS Sk8-Hi shoe and t-shirt package! The first offering in the Vans x KISS series commemorates the 30th anniversary of KISS' groundbreaking solo albums: Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Peter Criss and Ace Frehley. Released on September 18, 1978, the solo albums represented the first time ever that all the members of a band released solo works on the same day. Coincidentally, the Vans Sk8-Hi, one of the Vans' earliest skate shows, debuted the very same year. Available in late fall, the Vans Sk8-Hi and t-shirt will be sold separately at better footwear stores and boutiques worldwide as well as on Vans.com. Look for additional collaborations created by Vans and KISS in 2009.
