2009 and Feelin Fine Blogging Experience, part 2 of 3

Part 2 of the "2009 and Feelin Fine blogging Experience" begins........now!

Kyle and his girlfriend moved down to San Diego about 6 months ago and I have not been able to see them since. And though Kyle is the other half of Seven Grand, we have been keeping in touch through phone conersations, e-mails, myspace, and the ever so reliable United States Post Office. But that was just not enough! I was lucky enough to have two days off in a row from my job (yes the job that pays the bills) so I decided, what the fuck, I'm going to San Diego!

I left Wednesday afternoon and headed to SD to catch up and enjoy all that i could in 2 days!

I arrived to Kyle's house and we embraced for about 4 hours....ok 4 seconds....but who's counting? Below is Kyle and Mel chompin on some "breakfast rice" getting ready for the day! Boo Ya!
Not only to they have a full house of people, they also have a wide range of pets to accompany them!

Mr. Turtle poking out to catch some morning sun.

My self and a little attention grabbing whore dog....woah that was a little out of line.....Paris hilton worthy bitch....woah, sorry.....chihuawa

Dog # 2.....I forget this one's name...
Of course Darla below, and a ferret and 2 birds......I think that is it. Am I missing anyone?

The first night was great. We hung out, I met some of their friends, we got drunk....and then I got to see Kyle puke red stuff all over the bathroom floor of some bar in SD. GREAT TIME!

Day 2 Kyle and Mel showed me around. We cruised downtown to the ....mall... Saw where Kyle works at, met some co-workers, saw some sweet bums and then ventured to Ocean Beach, or OB as they call it.

Kyle and I chillen on some rocks and shit.

Exploring some water caves on the beach in OB.

Me with a sweet ass model like pose coming out of a gnat infested water cave! Bi-otch!

We cruised around for quite a while and then decided that it was time for....milkshakes...no.....jump rope and bubble gum....no......oh yeah!

CHIPS, SALSA, and MANGO MARGARITAS!!!!!!

Shut up and drink fool!

Mango Margarita Madness....well actually just mango margaritas.

Yup.

It was an awesome day over all! Great hanging with some rad friends and capturing life at it's best.

Tomorrow comes the 3rd and final installment of the Blogging Ecperience. Cave drawings, mis understood photos, and New art to come!

Keep it Grand,

2009 and Feeling Fine Blogging Experience, 1 of 3

This is a part 1 of 3 blogging experience. A bit has happened in 2009 and Kyle and I just haven't had a chance to get on this thing as much as we like. So, we are going to do a 3 part session to fill you in on some of the things we've been up to! ok? Lets go!

So, last week the dudes in Albatross Kneck were down south in Orange, CA recording a few new tracks with famed engineer Paul Miner (New Found Glory/ISHC, Thrice, As I Lay Dying). The guys are currently working on a full length entitled "The Canarys Dead". Look for the album out sometime later this year.

Moving along, I went to visit them over at our good friend Doo Young's (asian in the middle) pad. Made a ton of jokes, laughed at how gay Albatross is, and played a bit of Rock Band!


Caught Tim in a completely awkward moment while he was either peeing on the floor or about to eat a carb filled sandwich......gay.

Cooper looking ever so dashing in the out of print "Fancy Green" Seven Grand shirt. After this pose he quickly retreated back to his corner to text on his iphone some more....either that or look at gay porn...not sure..

Casey, look at that sweet guy below rockin the new "Party Squid" shirt. He still doesn't know how to read, but we love him any way! ....gay

Cody L. (other half of the famed "Cody Sandwich") and Kevin playing some shitty ass Rock Band. And to think these guys are really recording! Yikes, that's gay!

But in all seriousness, these duded rock and are some of the funniest guys I know. All good guys and great things to come from their band this year. So, go be a pal and check out Albatross Kneck online or at any of their shows!

Also, Come back tomorrow for the 2nd installment of our 2009 and Feelin Fine blogging experience!

Keep it Grand,

So we havent been updating this thang as much as we should be...mostly due to our busy work scheduals (yeah thats right...we have real jobs!) and lack of 'free' time...

haha so on a lighter note...i just couldnt help myself...i mean common! it was too easy, haha

oh man...aaaaaaand was i a happy boy on halloween! what a great surprise at work! all 5 different styles of VANS/REBEL 8 colaboration shoes are SICK AS FUCK! haha, well they are...so i highly suggest that everyone finds a VANS store and pick up a pair(or two!) of Mike Giants most awesome kicks!

Dude What!

Oh yes, Halloween is tomorrow and I expect to see tons of gnarly greatness! Can't wait to see everyone's pictures from the night as well, should be grrrreat!

Like Kyle said he as well as myself have been working on a lot of cool New projects for Seven Grand, a little bit different than the norm and we are excited about it. Kyle has some stuff I haven't even seen yet, but am definitely looking forward to it! And again I have some cool pieces in the works that I can't wait for people to enjoy.

Also, we have a TWO NEW sponsorships! We have hooked up with two California bands and will announce them soon. It is going to be a cool thing for us as well as the bands involved!


Stay Tuned and Keep it Grand!
