California: Day 2. (July 16th, 2010) Part 1.
We spent the early part of the day, hanging out around my Aunties house in SanDiego. I sat on the deck editing pictures for the blog and enjoying a bagel in the sun.
After I finished the first 'California update', I skated down the street(5 minutes) to the community outdoor leisure center. My family was swimming in the pool, so I joined them. On the way back to the house, It was dope... I got to skate down this very steep hill, super fun.
This is my Aunty and Uncle's house, it's in a gated community over looking the charger stadium. Really nice area, walking distance to a lot of shops and restaurants.
My Uncle had planned a surprise for us, he got us tickets to the Padre Game at Petco Park. So, we headed to downtown area. We walked from the Convention Center(we parked underground there)... This is where Comic Con was taken place a couple of days later!
This is a Metro Rail. I wish we had one of these things in Saskatoon.
We arrived at Petco Park! A very nice stadium, new home to the SanDiego Padres.
Our Uncle(being a PGA golf pro) knows a lot of people, let's just say that he has connections. We got to view the Padre batting practice, and get the V.I.P. experience.
p.s. that 'green F' stands for field.
Down through the tunnel, onto the field.
They played the DiamondBacks from Arizona, that guy with the bat has a super dope last name.

What Did We Wear Today? Cali Edition.
California: Day 1. (July 15th, 2010)
First day, we spent the day at Mission Beach along the Pacific Ocean. Great Beach, nice sand, huge waves.
I don't 'care' for sandals... so I wore these, Janoski's... let's just say... I brought some of the beach home with me.
This guy was really 'high'.
Jen and Leo were brave enough to test out the freakishly freezing water.
The waves were actually huge.
Lunch was really good. We went to "Five Star Diner" along the beach. I got a bacon cheeseburger... It isn't in the shot though... I ate it.
I don't understand people sometimes. See the guy with the huge circle tattoo on his back?... he got a 'horoscope wheel'... I guess he was indecisive of what he was on the horoscope wheel... so... he got them all. What an idiot.
There were a lot of people at the beach.
We played a 2-on-2 game of volleyball. Me and Jen versus the two volleyball players (Leo and Mom)... We were down by seven after the first eight points (1 - 7)... we ended up losing but it was close (17-21). We will win next match.
My sister bought those glasses that day for $7, I told her not to. She could have spent that money at In N Out. Can't wait.
It started to rain a bit.
I missed some spots while applying on my suntan lotion... ouch.
California.
Right now, I am on a little vacation down to California (& area), with my family. My aunty and uncle reside in San Diego, both working in typical Cali jobs (uncle: PGA pro, and aunty: big corporate office building... maybe an accountant(?)) So, I am staying with them for 10 days. I am going to try and update you with each day in photos.
Award Tour.
Award Tour has inspired me, since the first time JJ (inno) showed me his blog. He seems to do everything just right. Blogging about everything from; music to fort-making, from art projects to the fashion thing. Phillip Annand is the owner and creator of Award Tour. If you haven't seen it for yourself, do so.
Here is a product shot for Award Tour's upcoming line up. I am thoroughly stoked on this. I have the Award Tour Haiti Tee, I like it alot... Design is great, wish I would have copped a medium though.
Here is what was said on Award Tour underneath this shot :
I figure beautifully shot pictures of upcoming product are more enjoyable than anything else, so I won’t even try to come around and spew a bunch of nonsense to fill up space. Orders are placed, cotton is being flown back and fourth across the country in the production cycle. Only a few weeks out from the new Award Tour drop. It’s been a long, long time. This should be enjoyable.
Stay Safe-Phil.
Can't Wait!

Acid Washing Part 2.
After, 3 washes in the washing machine this is the final result:
Before(Front)
After(Front)
After(Back)
I am super stoked on these! I was really questioning it last night, but I am kind of pumped. Considering, this is my first pair, I think I did a decent job. Next, acid wash attempt will be some tank tops! ListenUp.
Acid Washing Part 1.
I have wanted a pair of "acid washed" denim for quite some time now. Recently, I had a talk with a good friend of mine (Tim) and he mentioned that he acid washed one of the tee's he was wearing using bleach. So, I decided to give it a try, I recently got my old baggy Kr3w blue jeans tapered (from the expertise, Tina's Tailoring):
p.s. These aren't actually my legs or my jeans. Just a product shot of the before tapered jeans.
So, tonight at approx. 11:30 pm I built up the courage to sneak away into the garage with bleach, a towel, a home made tank, and my freshly fitted denim to experiment with the concept. First, set up in the garage... laying down a towel, and rolling up my jeans. Second, after realizing I locked myself in the garage, waking up my mother and lying to her "I was just putting something in the garbage, and forgot my keys!"... I went inside to soak my denim and tank in cold water. Wringing them out so, they aren't soaked. Third, laying them flat to begin the splatter of the bleach, keeping in mind that you need to spread out the excess bleach to apply a more "natural" pattern. Fourth, letting them sit for about 5-10 minutes, then taking them to the washing machine to clean the "itchy" chemical from the pieces. I heard that you will need to wash them more than once to get rid of the itchy feeling from the denim. We will have to see though. I will provide some more information and pictures in a later post. ListenUp.

Mo Market Skate BBQ!
I have been planning and brain storming a fundraiser/event for the community for quite sometime. About 2 weeks ago after having a discussion with Kent(Outtabounds) about what I was thinking about planning (BBQ/Skate event), He agreed that it was a great idea. Little did I realize that the best possible date for this idea was in approx. 2 weeks (end of school for high-school students)... basically a perfect kick off to summer!
After 24 hours of planning and numerous discussions with other staff, I got everything written down and finalized. We thought of fundraisers over and over again. But, the one that stuck out most to me was The Canadian Cancer Society. Recently, one of my friends/staff member's father passed away from cancer. I felt like I should sort of throw this for her and her family. Cancer is one of the most common illness' in the world, My Grandpa passed away when I was 14... I was devastated, He was not only the funniest person I have every met but one of the many people that has effected my life in a positive way.
Once, we had everything planned it was ready to go. We had a lot of sponsors that were stoked to help this event out... Co-op, Vitamin Water, Sous Chef, Dr.J, and Single Second. Co-op supplied the buns, Vitamin Water supplied refreshments, Sous Chef donated there water, Dr. J brought the entertainment, and Single Second generously donated there ever so popular t-shirts.
After looking online at the weather I noticed it was supposed to be a horrible rainy/stormy day... I was starting to get worried. Rain, DJ's, Skateboarding and BBQ's aren't a good mix! I began to think of back up plans. After, Asif(momentum) left for South Africa/World Cup... I knew that I was the one to make the 'executive' decisions.
On, June 21st 2010 (Day Before the BBQ) I had a quick skate sesh with some of the boys. It was a mellow sesh. I wanted to practice up. But, soon figured out that this was already a shitty performance on my part, and to top it all off... I tried to shuvit over something... landed super awkwardly and dropped to the floor... this meant I couldn't skate for a while... and definitely not at the BBQ. I was super bummed out after that.
The BBQ went really well, we had a lot of skaters come out! As well as, a lot of BBQ lovers! haha. We ended up raising $300 for Cancer. Super good turn out.
More coverage to come!

Nike SB Summer 2011 Releases.
Recently, I checked out Highsnobiety and saw a post on Summer 2011 releases for SB. Typically, when pictures are released a year in advance you can expect changes made to the shoe... But these two were so nice and clean, that I had to believe it was true (keep in mind that I have pre-booked already).
I believe this is entirely Canvas? (or Denim?)... either or a very well done Dunk High. I love the tonal accent changes on the tongue and laces.
Leather and Suede can often bring out a not so classy look. But this by far has been the 'classiest' Janoski I have seen by far! This is gonna be on my "To-Buy List".
Janoski-Festive Green.
I have been looking for a pair of simple green low profile shoes for quite sometime. About three weeks ago I called Nike SB to trace an order and luckily remembered these were releasing soon...
So, I have a size 11.5 being shipped to me as we speak! Can't wait for these. If you haven't worn a pair of Janoski's you are missing out.
