Tomorrows Tulips Harnessed to Flesh

“If you saw them on the street you wouldn’t think they were human beings with their thin absent minded appearance they look like near border of starvation (they barely eat).

4 CITIES: PAT SCHMIDT Episode 7 History Runs Deep with the Schmidt Family in Manasquan, New Jersey

I first met Pat in Hawaii a few years back. He was this tall, lanky dude from New Jersey who was cruising with a posse of East Coasters over at the Volcom House. His dad Larry introduced himself as “Meat Face.” At the time I didn’t know that was his dad. And it tripped me…

It’s kind of like the “Field of Dreams” with Kevin Costner. Except it’s surfing, not baseball and the ghost of Shoeless Joe Jackson isn’t surfing. People have been coming, in droves. Flying in from all corners of the earth to sample some barbecue and man made waves. Build more, in weird places. Let’s see the…

DESERT DAZE Come for the Music, Stay for the Debauchery

“This is America at its finest.” Desert Daze is never what you expect it to be. The music festival designed to be unlike any music festival in the history of music festivals did exactly that, again, for the 7th consecutive year. It rained. There was lightning and thunder and the entire thing nearly imploded in…
