The Wedding

The whole reason why we went to San Fran was because our good friend Jenna and Dan were finally tying the knot. For those of you that have never been to Walnut Creek there is 1 word that comes to mind when I think back of that place and it's Pleasantville. Everyone is so nice there it's kind of creepy but a little refreshing at the same time. Another good thing about Walnut Creek is that the weather is actually nice unlike San Fran. We headed over to the wedding around 4:15 and got there just in time to sit in the hot ass sun and wait for 4:30 to come around. I kid you not but this wedding was exactly 15 minutes long. Never have I been to such a short wedding but then again it wasn't a mexican wedding it was a white wedding and I loved it. Short, sweet and simple.






After the wedding they had cocktail hour and it was open bar. It was a power hour for us to be starred at because we all did not look like any of the people there. It was a fun time. Jenna's boss came up to us and said ''you must be the 1's from Santa Barbara'' which was kind of funny because what if we weren't? They were saying we were fashionable and just stood out hah I just let them keep talking.




The actual reception was fun. The food was fucken delicious and the alcohol continued to be free until the end of the night. The 1st wedding I've been to where they had karaoke! People had fun with that if you could imagine once the alcohol started flowing like water. I must say I feel weird and bad for saying this but the highlight of the night was when Gabby spilt her red wine on Jenna's dress, umm yes that would be the bride. Good thing that Jenna is one of the nicest people you'll ever encounter so she said she didn't care but who knows. All in all this trip was great. I loved Walnut Creek and San Fran.

San Fran Part II

Of course walking all day around a town you're not familiar with and shopping we get thirsty right? Well I do and so since we were still in the Mission District we headed over to the Lexington which was a fucken rad dyke dive bar.



Typical dive bar that had 1 pool table in it, looked dirty, a fucken disgusting bathroom and cool things on the walls. It was a place I could for sure see myself going to more than once. We stayed there for a round of drinks and headed 2 blocks down over to the Beauty Bar



Now this place was a little more up our alley because there were more hipsters there for me and Justine to feel really at home. There was your typical pretentious bartender there who kept looking at himself in the mirror but other then that we had a dope ass time there. The DJ was playing fucken amazing music that made me want to dance the night away.



The boo and I



See I told you



Veronica being a motha fucken lady and shit



Some Gabby and Marissa action

We all left there feeling pretty good and we were now on our way over to the Infinite Shop on Hyde Street. We were going to meet up with our friend Dorian for The Fun Of It summer release party



It was fucken dope. The shop was tiny and packed but good tunes were being played and free beer was being passed out. Cool group of kids that were there and everyone was nice. Some of the brands Infinite carries are Acapulco Gold, Flying Coffin and Mishka infinitesf.wordpress.com. This stop was probably the most fun we had all night because we were actually kicking it not being tourists. An hour after us getting there of course the cops came by and tried to break it up and they did a pretty good job of it. So we headed over to the Castle a block away and continued the party there and around 12:30 am took the bart back on over to Walnut Creek and passed the fuck out.

San Fran Part I

For those of you that even read my blog I guess you would of known I went to San Fran over this weekend, if you didn't well now you know. I finally popped that cherry that had been dying to get popped and it felt good and was fun as fuck popping it. Justine, Gabby, Marissa and myself set out early Friday morning at 5:30 am and arrived in Walnut Creek around 11. Checked into our hotel, got ready and headed out towards the bart. Now keep this in mind the whole time I thought the bart was a fucken boat and when I saw a train I was let down. No bueno. We got into the city around 1 and spent the whole day there till 12:30 am.


We hit up fisherman's wharf and ate lunch there, which was pretty cool. After that we walked over to Little Italy and China Town and to me I think it's pretty cool how there are different parts of the city that focuses on 1 culture because I'm sure there are tons of dope spots to eat at. Some art work that we saw on our way to Little Italy



China Town was pretty cool. A bunch of random ass shops that seemed to carry all of the same shit but what do I know.





Yup you better believe we took those annoying tourists pictures. Tons of people on that narrow ass street but we finally made it out and we headed towards downtown. Dope shops along the way that make me wish SB was SF because SB needs help in that department. Downtown was very cool. I enjoyed it. After stores were looked at we all headed over to the Mission District. Fuck yeah this was the part of SF I wanted to see. As we got off the bart and started to walk down the street if fucken reminded me of mini TJ, kinda sketchy but I guess we were in the not so cool part of the district. Anyhow our 1st stop was Benny Gold's shop over on 21st Street bennygold.com





Gabriel who was working that day was super dope. We chatted it up for a bit and the shirt he had on I've been wanting so once I asked him if he had anymore of the Doughboy shirts I think he was impressed because I don't think he thought I was that much of a follower of Benny Gold. I ended up buying a snap back and a tee and motha fucken Gabriel threw in a extra tee from last season, t'was a nice surprise.

Art at the Kitty

Last night my friend Devyn Arrey Galindo had an art show at Wildcat in Santa Barbara. She displayed her photography in a very funky, fresh and creative way. A couple of blown up photographs in dope ass vintage frames, photographs on lamp shades, photographs made into magnets, a couple of 5x7's and postcards. The setup was just legit. Candles lit which made it have that dark intimate feel since artist like that shit haha. My girlfriend even bought I'd say the sickest piece there. Which was this big piece.



It fucken looks like a painting it's so clean and the frame makes it all come together. Another one of my favorite pieces there.



The Girl meets Boy from Mars lamp. It's different but in that good creative way. It was also priced very reasonably. Here's another wall that had some more art.



Everything was just done so creatively from the setup to the presentation. I'd say Devyn did a fucken legit job with everything and if any of you want to check out more of her work peep her website DEVYNARREY.COM annnnd also all the hair and makeup of the models in almost all the photographs were done by my girlfriend Justine Hosseini so take a peep at her website as well and see more of her work justinemarjan.viewbook.com They are both very talented young ladies.

My Fear

Yeah so I fucken am scared of dogs. I'm fucken terrified and shit of them. Never was bit by one but chased by some bullshit rottweiler that fucked up my childhood after that. As for small dogs I hate those fucken things. I will never hesitate to the kick the shit out of one if one tries to fuck with me and snap at my toes. The things that sucks is that dogs seem to be almost everywhere so yeah that can just fuck up my day thinking about.



This is me! This is how I feel when I see a dog. I mean I wish I was scared of clowns because I never see those out in yards or just randomly fucken walking the streets. Ok I feel better now that I shared what I'm scared of with you all. It feels good.

How to Black Out

If you are someone who hasn't blacked out from drinking then give your self a pat on the back and hug the shit out of yourself because I guess that's pretty cool. I do know there are tons of you out there that have blacked out so I guess you should take a shot to that and black out again? Anyhow for those of you lucky non blacker outers out there if you ever wanted to maybe see what if feels like to black out and be hung over the next morning purchase one of these and do as this guys is doing.



Ahh yes wine. It makes you all warm and fuzzy really fast and stains your teeth red! Go to town!
