A Few Hours with KILLSPENCER
This past Thursday I had the honor of spending a few hours with my friend Marat Shaya, Erin from (No Subject), and Spencer Nikosey of KILLSPENCER. Spencer and his very talented team took us through the process of making a one of their bags, from early design sketches to final packaging details before each bag is shipped to their soon-to-be very happy customers. What sets KILLSPENCER apart from...

The Academy | Long Beach
I originally intended on coming to The Academy in Long Beach for the Gourmet and I Heart Pies event. When I got there, I Heart Pies was already set up outside the shop, and so was Taco Nara, but the guys from Gourmet didn’t show up. I heard they got caught up with something and they might make up for their absence with another event later this Summer. I made the best of it and enjoyed the...

Five Guys Burgers and Fries | Rancho Cucamonga
No comparisons to In-N-Out here. Five Guys Burgers and Fries stands on its own. I’ve eaten here twice so far and enjoyed it both times. The wide range of toppings available for their burgers is definitely a plus. It can get a little pricey for a burger joint, but you can get free peanuts while you wait for your food. C’mon, everyone loves free peanuts! Try it for yourself, but leave...

Hiking Hikers Hike | Rancho Cucamonga
Last Saturday a couple of friends and I went hiking in the hills above Rancho Cucamonga. I can’t believe this is only a few minutes away from where I live.

WatchMy friend Ahh:Zel and his group Late Bloomers just dropped a new music video from their debut EP “Three Shades Brown.” These were some of the first guys I heard about when I first started going to Cal Poly Pomona. I think they added me on Myspace, back when it was still alright. It’s great seeing how far they’ve come since then.
“Three Shades Brown” is...

The Common | San Francisco
The Common on Valencia Street in the Mission District is one of the most unique stores I’ve ever visited. I stumbled upon it on my way to Benny Gold’s new shop and, to say the least, I was pleasantly surprised with what I found there. They carry a nice selection of brands and products, all of which are of the utmost quality and are made in the USA. Some of the brands you’ll find...

Brenda's French Soul Food | San Francisco
Our first meal in San Francisco was in the Civic Center at Brenda’s on Polk St. With roots in New Orleans, Brenda’s serves French-style Creole dishes with New Orleans soul! The menu consists of traditional Creole favorites and a few signature items, like their Sweet Watermelon House Tea that I had to try! A local favorite is their stuffed beignets, which I didn’t get to try...

San Francisco (May 2011) | The Drive
Calling this trip “impromptu” would be an understatement, but we made it happen. One week before finals we decided to drive up to San Francisco for a couple days. No big plans, just a quick getaway from the norm. With no sleep, a family pack of assorted granola bars, canned iced coffee, bottled water, and an endless amount of music, we got on the 5 North, 427 miles away from our...

WatchPor Vocacao’s newest installation is really great! I think I might put some potted plants in my old sneakers this Summer too.
