Just before noon on a December Saturday, A Bathing Ape logo beams from the scoreboard,over a not-classic match up in Arlington, Texas, between the Texas Christian University Horned Frogs and the Kansas State Wildcats. The Big12 conference is in jeopardy, with University of Texas and University of Oklahoma, its two most money-making programs, set to … Continue reading
He’d pissed his pants tracking guitar parts by day two. Day three he threw up for a couple hours then got two songs down before he got the shakes, did a third before he was too drunk to record a fourth. He’d written all the songs, most of the lyrics too. Continue reading
Leopard Shark (medium) I forgot the sharks. They were literally the first thing that came to mind when I thought about the perfect holiday item for that special someone, and then they fell off the back of the truck.

The moment I arrived, I handed off the keys to my ‘95 Volvo 850 (crimson) to Paul … Continue reading

Just a few years ago I convinced my Mom, both of us still grieving a freshly dead father/husband, … Continue reading
The Danville Grange hall is located on Diablo Rd. in Danville, California. It’s a big municipal space next to a creek, with a three foot stage, and built in seats lining either side of the hall.
