the elvis suite.

Left Jackson in a rush and took myself up Highway 88. Got to South Lake Tahoe. Checked myself into the Horizon Hotel under an assumed alias and was attempting to settle in for the evening when the three gentlemen on a alcoholic fueled cocaine bender shouting at each other in the room next to thought otherwise. I made my way down to the lobby to reassess things with the hotel staff. I demanded a quiet, lake view balcony room, bottle of jagermeister on ice, dvd copy of rad, and a private tour of the elvis suite.

Elvis has left the building.

For 2 grand a night you can make sexy time in the Elvis bed.

Or suds up in the Elvis tub.

It was pretty surreal seeing the Elvis suite. He had 2 balconies and played a ton of shows at the Horizon back in the day, the suite was pretty intense – Elvis even had a sauna installed and I can just imagine him really sweating it out there. I guess there was an Elvis elevator but I missed out on that. Thanks for the tour, Horizon. It’s really a rad place to stay in South Lake. Request a balcony room, friends.

Don’t forget the Kinky Adventures store at the Horizon. Right down the hall from the arcade.

This dude was brushing his teeth in the hall at some Mexican restaurant in Tahoe City I won’t name by name.

He tried to hide in the corner when he saw me.

When in Truckee you really ought to pretty much always make Tacos Jalisco a mandatory stop.

Their carne asada will blow your mind. Go there now.

Got home and took it straight to the beach.

Just a tampon on the track.

I love stories with a happy ending.

san fran.

Nor Cal Pride. Saw this dude rocking a UC-Santa Cruz hoodie and a Nor Cal Reversible Beanie yesterday in front of Skates on Haight. We’ve always believed the homeless population trekked back and forth between SF and Santa Cruz and here is further proof. Down for life.

Learn your west coast history. This theater is pretty damn historical. Have you seen the Sean Penn film, Milk? Do it now.

tent city.

Took da plane down to San Diego for ASR/Crossroads.

Abraham Paskowitz showed up and taught me how to survive a knife fight. You will normally find him giving surf lessons at the Paskowitz Surf Camp or handling Sales Manager duties over at Mavericks.

We took the cooler over to the W and kept the party rolling.

If you ever find yourself homeless, just head on down to San Diego. Great weather, great people, great food. Pitch a tent, pitch your sleeping bag and just let the good times roll. This is pretty much 1 AM on every corner of downtown San Diego. Just roll your bag out and claim your free rent.

You could skate over the sharks mouth over at Crossroads.

Chuck was really holding down the NHS booth at crossroads. Ya got any free stuff? ha.

English ciggies really get the point across.

Signage wise at ASR. NHS had them all beat.

Back over at Crossroads, Shake Junt was giving out free hair cuts.

Heard this ‘do is all the rage in Europe and Japan. Seriously.

victoria beckham loves independent.

Soccer mom, seductress, fashionista, author, businesswoman,  singer… skater chick? Is Victoria Beckham secretly morphing into skater girl? Did the Beckham’s buy stock in Pac Sun or something?

Thanks to paparazzi photo goons, the secret is out – Victoria secretly wishes David could skate. Maybe.

Five photos of Victoria Beckham rocking an Independent Grade Adjustable mesh hat in Black (the hat also comes in Green, mind you). Victoria is “built to grind” and you should be too. Ride the best, fuck the rest.
