A Chill Cam Dump From San Diego

Have you seen 411 Magazine in Tampa? It has nothing to do with skateboarding. It's a super, super gay guide to Tampa |
For some reason the other night, fireworks started going off in downtown Tampa. I quickly set up the tri-pod and shot these photos from my balcony |
I didn't shoot this photo. Dallas Rockvam sent it over. After the party at Phoenix Am last weekend, he got into a little fight |
This ghetto club down the street from SPoT always has some funny signs out front for their specials. Usually it's "Broke Ass Wednesdays," but now they got a new night to promote on Thursday. Or is it Thirsday? They're not sure how it's spelled |
For the last four years in a row, I've spent my birthday either all day or overnight in an airport. At least I'm traveling with the best crew possible. Clem and I are having a birthday shot |
I miss my homeless friends at The Hub. That's Angel and Kim |
I had the pleasure of kicking it with Derewenko's bird the other day. This guy's got a bob and weave like Mohammed Ali |
Here's an update on the total rippitude going down on the new vert ramp |
More of my friends at The Hub. Come join us sometime. That's the Valrico Mangler with Erin. SPoT local Dan and a crew of hot chicks also happened to roll in. Hot chicks generally do not like to be anywhere near the crusty ass Hub |
A fantastic way to get around the airport |
Did you see the new Thrasher? They called out the News Watcher |
As soon as we got to San Diego, we threw back some sauce with Roberto Aleman and Kyle Berard. Berard has a wrist stamp also |
Later on that night, I met up with Blair from TransWorld and Ari from Doogood. They were at sort of a dive bar, but it was full of jocks as the whole state of California is. I lit up a smoke and tried to use my "I'm from Texas" innocent excuse and some dude who didn't even work there freaked out on me |
Well look who's here. You may remember Jessica from the party tornado she and Ashley brought during Tampa Pro. Jessica's hometown is San Diego |
We are way overdue for a foot fetish |
This is our friend Chef Nikki G. She's got some high tech devices in her car |
Right now, we're working and having some bid'niss meetings at the Volcom offices. They don't have the average looking Captain Corporate type offices here |
That's Mike Aho in the art department at Volcom. He designed this SPoT shirt: Skatepark of Tampa: Mike Aho x SPoT Fall In Love T Shirt |
After working in the office for a bit, we all got to go through the warehouse and fill a few bags full of some extra fresh gear. There are miles and miles of boxes full of everything Volcom makes. There's an entire separate floor for chick gear. I shipped home a 40lb box of new threads. Thanks Volcom! |
Just when I thought I was getting a little greedy, I looked over at Schaefer and Clem's pile of gear and didn't feel so bad. We are now on our way to go skate the Volcom park |
