My buddies Sagan Lockhart, Natalia Mantini and Josh Terris are having their first photo show at Suede Studios in Los Angeles on Friday, June 1st. They are all super sick photographers and capture all types of crazy stuff with their cameras— everything from wild teenage antics, hot chicks in minimal clothing, popular celebrities, Fairfax rappers and other assorted Los Angeles randomness. This show is destined for greatness so mark your calendars. Oh and there’s free beer too….

My friend Sam Chami (wife of skateboard photographer Dave Chami) recently hit me up about a new project she’s created and is raising funds for called Work In Skateboarding. Being a lifelong and extremely grateful skateboard industry guy myself, I couldn’t help but spread the word about her idea. Sam’s new website, www.workinskateboarding.com, provides ambitious youngsters with all kinds of helpful resources to help chart their paths in the business. Don’t surrender to mainstream corporate america, kids. It’s not worth it.  You’ll wake up at 40—bitter, fat and hating your life. WORK IN SKATEBOARDING or do something equally as awesome and you won’t regret it.
