From LA to tha Bay

This past weekend, my girlfriend Michelle and I took a trip up North to San Francisco with a stop in the Prunedale /Salinas/Monterey area. It was an awesome time! We got to see friends, family, the aquarium, and most of the SF bay as well as a sweet baseball game in which the Giants killed the Padres!

We started off with a cruise around the Elkhorn Slough. Right in my backyard!

Then we stopped by Alex's place in Marina for a quick visit.....

...and a tattoo. 1 skull for Prunedale/ Salinas, and 1 skull for LA

Then we ventured to Monterey and hit up the Monterey Bay Aquarium! Thanks Lee for hookin it up!

Oh yes, the aquarium has everything: gifts, water, nachos, and penguins!

Crusin still some more, we hit up Asilomar near Pebble Beach. Beautiful ocean air.

Night life in Salas and the 831, hangin with some of my best friends outside of the Salinas Bowling Alley: (let to right) Me, Michelle, Blake, Clay, and Andrew.

Oh good night back home, and then we got up early for breakfast with my dad and brother, and soon ventured up to San Francisco. Home of the Giants and Rice a Roni!


We saw some music in the park and talked to a very nice dude that gave us some hints on good bars in the area!


Took a peak at the Bay Bridge leading to Oakland.


And soon enough it was time for the night life! Balloons at the awesome Minna Gallery in downtown SF.


Katie and Michelle gettin thirsty at the Minna!


Sunday was awesome! We were originally suppose to meet with Aaron, Nate, Mikey, and Lee just to tail-gate and then be on our way, but oh no we decided to join them for the Giants game and pound a few tall boys before hand!


At the game wearing the NEW "Party Squid" shirt, which will be out next week on September 1st!


And then we had some great pizza after the game thanx to Aaron, and took a sweet group pic with all of the Giants beer cups we had collected/drank throughout the day! One for everybody!

It certainly was an eventful weekend. Friends, family, and lots of sun and beer. What could be greater than this!

In the coming weeks Seven Grand will be working on some sweet new gear for the Fall '08 Season, and will also be putting TWO NEW shirts on sale Monday September 1st "HUGE Fear" and the "Party Squid" shirts which come with a FREE compilation CD of all our BFF bands and can be ordered by clicking HERE!
