Photogenized

Brian is taking a photography class during the first Summer Session at UCI and needed a 35mm camera with adjustable lens. Being the good brother I am (is that grammatically correct?), I paid him a visit with what my parents had to offer.

Brian is currently working the front desk at the UCI housing office. MESA COURT!




Look at that dirty ass mustache. Fuckin' gross son.


So this is what Brian does at work: goes online to nikeskateboarding.org


And talks on the phone and looks at pictures... On top of that, free housing on campus? Pretty good gig I'd say.


After finding out that the cameras we had weren't gonna work for his class, he and Trish had to make a trip to Newport Beach to the camera store.


Catholic Baby Milo!




Pretty cool ride. Not so cool licence plate.




Our destination.


Much to my surprise, this place had more than vintage cameras. It had its fair share of bike frames, handles, wheels, and other accessories. The owner said that he started the bike thing a few months ago and has really just picked up for him by word of mouth.


Camera stuff:




1920's


1930's


1940's


1950's


1960's


Bike stuff:










Some other goodies as well. Such as this Ferrari leather jacket:


Knight Rider bike wrap and Voltron watch:


And vintage sunglasses for $10.


Brian ended up buying a Canon. Of course I had to pick up the shades.


Back to the dorm to drop off Trish. Shoe picture!


No time to relax though. Everyone was hungry and we drove to the local Whole Foods Market. This one is by far the largest one I've seen. It's about the size of a Walmart.


Got pretty lazy and didn't take any pictures of the food, just of people eating.


Nina and Jenn enjoy their tostada bowl. Noodles...not so much.


My steezy ginger ale.


And Brian's "Muscle Water", which was less satisfying with each sip.

As far as Brian's camera, turns out that his dormmate Brandon actually had the same exact camera. So Brian didn't really need to buy one in the first place. Good job Brian. (FAIL)




I think my own photography skills are pretty good. Let me know if you need any tips brudder.

Back to Business

Had another meetup with the guys from San Diego and AVNT/GRDE.


First we helped Jabar and Gio sort out the inventory from Alphanumeric.


And got first dibs on a free tee. Thanks Jabar!


Then we hit up the whiteboard to write down everything that needed to be done before the opening, the opening party, and grand opening. Joe of course led the discussion.


That's a lot of shit to get done...


There was a good 2-hour conversation among Joe, Gio, and Jabar (no one knows what happened behind that closed door...). So Julz, Speshul Ed (mindzalike) and Bin (TAA) kicked it outside.




A little game of S-K-A-T-E?




Julz lost. LOSER!


Not too much went down today.


Well there was the crump battle between Julz and Gio.


Julz lost that one too.


We closed up shop and headed out to downtown Fullerton.

Not exactly the spot we wanted to be at once we got there. No shorts or plain white tees after 9:30pm. On top of that, the dudes singing on the pianos were not so hot. And no chairs to sit on while we ate the tacos. The waitress was slow with glasses of water. I guess the only positive were the $1 tacos.


The SD boyz headed back south to cause some mayhem.


Check these posts and pictures of the wrath they inflicted on Guil.

That's some fucked up shit guys. Remind me to never let you guys know where I live. And fuck you Joe for making it rain on my car. BITCH!
