Apolis in Vietnam

For those of us that didn't get to go on a full tour of Vietnam with the Apolis team, I recommend going to American Rag (Newport Beach location) for the premiere of their Vietnam Expedition film. The Apolis boys have outdone themselves with this one.

Rose Bowlin

Had some good sightings at this past Rose Bowl and also managed to find some good stuff along the way. It was funny seeing this guy and this guy running around with the rest of us.

We Are The Champions

I played in Puma's 2nd annual ping pong tourney representing Band of Outsiders and we dominated. What did we win? Some fancy table worth 9k. The question is, how do we split this??? Anyways, here is some footage of my man C-Wray dominating some dork named Cash. Enjoy! And please, for those that want to challenge us, you know where to find us.

And the Winner Is...

Who knew that the Black Eyed Peas not only covered the Black Keys, but also won a VMA for it....

Hugh's World

This is going to be awesome. I've been a fan of this man's work for quite a while and I think that he evokes the California style that many often dream about. I can't afford his work but will definitely get the book.

2 is Better Than 1

There have been some good collaborations as of late, keep it up gang.

Rebel Youth

I first came to know about Karlheinz Weinberger through the book nerds at Alias. I was looking for some old photography books and they steered me to 'Karl's" book which came out about 10 years ago. They were selling it for around $500, which is about $475 too much for me right now. And, if you try ebay, it's going for at least $600.

But, after going on Amazon, I noticed that there is a book by Karl that comes out in March of 2011 that's priced at $45, which is much more affordable. Until then, here are some iconic images of Weinberger's work.

Cults

This band has a little EP out that I have been listening to that I think is pretty good. It's also like the Radiohead record where they let you pick the price. Aside from the music, I like their covers and their own little take on the great Robert Longo's work
