While at the Crooks office John Lee of Theme Magazine and emeht agency said he was out of his meeting. We didn’t want to get stuck in LA during traffic so we met up for some coffee in Old Town Pasadena.  I tend to appreciate conversations that last longer than the conversation itself…. I think in our conversation we almost came up with a solution for the common plastic bag.. No really..

I always appreciate my conversations with John..

Office Visits

Was on my way to the record store it dawned on me why I was feeling the way I was.. Like something was missing.. We’ll I figured it out.. I was missing food in my stomach.. I was starving.. I phoned up Pat from Oliver People/ Mosley Tribes and then headed over to grab a bite for lunch.. We ate at Joe’s Pizza (the same Joe’s that’s on Blecker-nyc).

After lunch we went back to the office and Pat showed me some of the concepts for the next campaign.  Sheeze, sounds like FUN!!

On my way to the parking garage I had to stop by the Crooks office.. Emil and gang was holding it down while Dennis and Rob are putting the finishing touches on their new store in Hawaii. After catching up for a few and saying whats up to the crew he walked me through the new season..

And ah-hem, I think I’ma need a couple of dem holiday outerwear jackets.. Smile.

It’s been blazing hot these last couple of days, so I’ve been making sure to do some watering and some gardening. While tending to the plants I saw these amazing flowers in full bloom.. Then I noticed these two cool flowers coming out of the same bud!

(Lotus Flower, mushrooms, leafs and cherry blossoms.)

Mr Wallace

This is Mr. Wallace, the quiet third member of The Hundreds.  I don’t think he has majority share of the company but I can say he’s well taken care of.

And if there is ever a time when Ben and Bobby can’t come to an agreement as to what project to tackle next..

I think Mr. Wallace comes in for the tie breaking decision. I kid, I kid, he’s really not the third member of The Hundreds nor is he a share holder, but I do gather he’s well taken care of… Mr. Wallace.

Joe Hahn

Joe Hahn of Linkin Park played his new album A Thousand Suns for us..  They got some heavy bangers in there..

Señor Fish

Had lunch with Joe Hahn of Linkin Park and Bobby from The Hundreds. We rolled up to Señor Fish (1st and Alameda). They serve great fish tacos. Gotta love the salsa bar.

Locals

One of the things I like about Hawaii is that getting something for a good deal is sorta always ‘trending’. It’s like local knowledge, you gotta know where they have the tastiest, biggest and best plate lunches on any side of the island. One trend that has been around since I can remember are these ‘Locals’ slippas.. These aren’t your average $30 over priced Havaianas, these are your average $3.29 Locals sold at any Longs Drugs in Hawaii.

Also, because they were only $3.29 if someone walks off with your slippas, ain’t no thang. They were only $3.29.

Homie Loc Christian hooked me up with this 1 of 1 Santa Monica Airlines New Era hat. Had to throw on a Dee and Ricky cigarette piece.
I haven’t been rock’n fitted hats lately, but you never know, could be the undercover Sunday morning coffee express look.

Thank you

Back State side, I was behind a man in his military uniform. We were in the same line going through security at the airport. He was with his absolutely beautiful wife and his young boy.  We get to a point in the line where non ticket holders cannot pass.. His wife and their son were not getting on the flight..  This is where he tries to keep a strong face and then his wife’s eyes begin to fill with water.. He gives a tight smile not to reveal too much emotion. The line is moving uncomfortably slow.. Tension grows and so does the emotions.. I cannot help but put myself in the their position and I start to get choked up.. As we are waiting for our bags to come down the short x-ray belt. His wife is no longer in sight but I gather that his mind is still with her..

As I pick up my bags I say a heart felt Thank you..

With the utmost honor, his reply in a soft strong voice was, I PROUDLY SERVE.

Got-dam solider my thoughts are with you.. Hope you make it back home safely.
