Santa Catalina Island - Report

Doing some different things this trip.

Went to Santa Catalina Island with DD, her brother, his wife, and our niece Sophia. A little family trip.

Went out for a late day boat ride, and saw a pod of about 10 Bottlenose Dolphins but did not get any photos (!?) of the encounter. Sometimes you just observe and enjoy without getting proof. After, we cruised around these California Sea Lions who were sunning themselves on a bouy near the quarry.

These guys smell really foul when you get downwind of them.

Like I have probably said a million times before, the nights are magical here.

"We did not look at the underage market even though I am holding a document in my hand that says we did." –James Morgan, Former president & CEO of Philip Morris

"If children don't like to be in a smoky room, they'll leave." –Charles Harper, R.J. Reynolds Chairman
When asked by a shareholder about infants, who can't leave a smoky room, Harper stated, "At some point, they begin to crawl."

There was a nice whisp of pink fluff in the periwinkle blue skies.

And the Pleasure Pier was dancing under a nearly full moon.

Our two Bald Eagles, sitting together. This is the closest I have seen them.

This little guy was relaxing on someones boat at White's Landing. He had a fishing hook embedded in his flipper. So alternative. But seriously, fuck fishing.

Sophia brought up this guy. I spent longer that I reasonalby should have trying to find out what it was, but I couldn't.

On the way up to the Botanical Gardens, we see some young Mule Deer.

Always cute and alert.

From the Wrigley Memorial. It was supposed to be his (William Wrigley Jr.'s) mausoleum, but he didn't end up getting buried there.

Oh the old days...

Inside the glorious Casino Theater.

There's a fake Botticelli in there.

Avocado Sushi.

We took a hike up to the summit behind Avalon to see the other side of the island.

The views were quite nice.

You can march all along the divide, straddling both sides of the island.

The coulds were rising up from the Pacific below the mountains on a tuft of wind, and being pushed over the mountain, spilling like a bowl of soup into Avalon Valley below.

At the top, we had to "one-up" the past hikers by making our own rock tower just a bit higher than theirs.

Suck that other hikers.

The swirly road we walked up was pretty much a wuss hike, but the view was great.

Dead rat on the way back down the mountain.

Raging Waters in San Dimas

It was Austin Stephen's birthday, and we all went to celebrate in the waterslides of the IE.

Drove with A-Stone up to the inland desert.

My last shower was the Pacific Ocean in Catalina, and my next one would be the chlorinated piss-water of Raging Waters.

Look at these guys. Lotioned up and ready for some Dropout action. I hope we all don't get double-pink-eye.

Lunch break. Grant predicted we would see some boob today, and he was right. But I missed it. They said it was pretty hefty and not very apealing, so maybe I'm glad I missed it?

I paid $8.50 for a "smoothie."

Be sure to re-apply that sunblock. The lines are out in the sun.

It was a fun day for sure!

There are plenty of funny / scary / gangstery / etc. tattoos to look at there.

It's a crazy sea of humanity, markedly different than Huntington Beach.

Rob Straser.

Carl.

Carl and Grif.

Getting ready to exit...

These days are the days, as always.

Austin was surprised he was still alive after all this time. Happy Birthday Austin!

Group photo. Austin's brother Cameron, Carl, Griffin, Grant, Rob, A-Stone, Your Truly.

There was no way we were waiting in that shuttle line.

We decided to hike it to the car.

It was a long walk, but nice, and there was a drunk girl in a bikini in front of us.

The sun was about hide behind the foothills.

There was a distant view of downtown LA.

Sorta like this.

Power-tripping central.

The sunset made the everyone jump for joy.

I have never seen so much joy. It's like they just won free tickets to a Cher concert.

It's no Disneyland, the parking lot is dirt.

Catalina Adventures, yes, again.

I go as often as I can. This is an amalgamation of 3 days.

I'm no rippled adonis, but I'll jump Frog Rock any day.

Grant on his way down... See Grant's Blog for more Catalina action! (you'll notice I used some of Ashley's photos on my site crreating a crossover blog-o-shpere. See her blog here <------)

Kevin on his way down...

Deanna with her 'chill-tube' ready for floatation.

"Words today are like the shells and rope of seaweed which a child brings home glistening from the beach and which in an hour have lost their luster." –Cyril Connolly. Seaweed is a powerful aphrodishiac, Grant succumbs to it's strength.

The brunette ladies' club.

Old, younger, youngest.

The iron chair is good exercise.

"As the eagle was killed by the arrow winged with his own feather, so the hand of the world is wounded by its own skill." –Helen Keller

"You know, I'm an eagle, flying around in the mountains." –Link Wray

Avalon Bay scene.

The world famous Casino.

There is a theater inside the Casino you know, and it's one of the most beautiful I have ever seen.

One of the better boat names I have seen.

Stacy Michelson, and Deanna before parting ways. (check out her band's video teaser.)

"Bite off more than you can chew and then chew like hell." –Peter Brock

"Because I think every child star suffers through this period because you're not the cute and charming child that you were. You start to grow, and they want to keep you little forever." –Michael Jackson

Lemme barge your ice-cream baby.

Kevin and Tree, Aw, how cute.

Let's dirty that up a little bit, thank you.

Toy Pawns even over in Avalon.

Tree reps the Machine too.

The light was right.

The Bad, The Good, and the Beautiful.

Let's dork that one up a bit, perfect.

A signs point to where Kevin's brain is most of the time.

Squirt.

"How does the Meadow flower its bloom unfold? Because the lovely little flower is free down to its root, and in that freedom bold." –William Wordsworth

"A woman's heart is a deep ocean of secrets." –Gloria Stuart

"A photograph is a secret about a secret. The more it tells you the less you know." –Diane Arbus

"I never let any of my sons beat me at videogames." –Coolio

Kevin got down with some Rampage while Tree played some other fight game.

I have not enjoyed video games too much since Super Mario Brothers on Nintendo back in 1988

"A happy childhood has spoiled many a promising life." –Robertson Davies

"There is always one moment in childhood when the door opens and lets the future in." –Graham Greene

What a handsome couple.

Leaving for the day, and leaving us behind.

Don't look back.

The Avalon nights are balmy and sweet.

Seeing a black sea bass around Catalina is rare these days, but common back then.

Who shrunk those adults?

A creature from the depths reared it's ugly head.

A big male California Sea Lion.

Angelo points East.

Always filming. Meet the future best director Oscar award winner, Angelo.

"The best way to pay for a lovely moment is to enjoy it." –Richard Bach

On the way back to the mainland, a much lamer place.

Q: What are you listening to?
A: Metal.

I failed miserably using my camera snorkel mask. When I thought I was shooting pictures I was actually switching back and forth between photo and video mode. I only shot 2 photos by accident!

My buddy Calico Bass.

Stay Gold Premiere

While everyone is still partying into the night, I'm home blogging.

Jetski had a van laoded with Pabst. I don't think this beer even stratched the surface.

Jetski and Bizarro Jetski.

The calm before the storm. Timothy has a moment before the carnage in the maze of chambers underneath the John Anson Ford Theater.

Heath was also roaming the under-realm.

And was already pre-drunk.

Ran into Marquis, who was carrying a comb for those moments when his 2 millimeter long hair would get messed up.

Jerry Hsu is a very nice boy. His girl Cat is also very nice.

Ran into a new Loyal Pawn and web commenter ready to be OUTED! He had his sect socks on and in different colors!

Ladies and Gentlemen, meet "Fresh from Mex."

Even Billy was impressed.

Spanky was trapped by...

I always liked Erik E. He's a cool dude.

Spanky signed Billy Marks' hand and didn't even know it. You always look at who you are signing.

Israel showed up again!

What happens in here I wonder?

Bands played to footage of orgies.

People going crazy for Leo Romero!

People going crazy for Andrew Reynolds!

Johnny amped to go SKATE!

Leo getting mobbed.

One of the hero's of the night, or better yet YEAR, Leo Romero, along with another epic skateboarder, B. Herman.
Then I was off to the freeway after watching some pee-pee action.

Gent and London in May 2010

Some B&W from our last trip to Europe in May and June. I'm off to an island for a few days, so this post will have to hold you over until Saturday.

Young woman in Gent. "Beauty is no quality in things themselves. It exists merely in the mind which contemplates them." –David Hume

Frozen. "A clear cold morning with high wind: we caught in a trap a large gray wolf, and last night obtained in the same way a fox who had for some time infested the neighbourhood of the fort." –Meriwether Lewis

Hookers in Gent. "The profession of a prostitute is the only career in which the maximum income is paid to the newest apprentice." –William Booth

The obscure flea markets in Gent are still filled with relics from the WW2. "Although I wasn't invited to shake hands with Hitler, I wasn't invited to the White House to shake hands with the President either." –Jesse Owens

Gent. "A good advertisement is one which sells the product without drawing attention to itself." –David Ogilvy

"I'm astounded by people who want to 'know' the universe when it's hard enough to find your way around Chinatown." –Woody Allen

"The man who can dominate a London dinner-table can dominate the world." –Oscar Wilde

"When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford." –Samuel Johnson

"A museum is a place where one should lose one's head." –Renzo Piano

Some imagery from recent shows... (updated)

Some of these photos by Photographer Extraordinaire, Garry Trinh in OZ

This what's up at the Prism Gallery in LA, go check it out. And while you are gallery hopping in LA, go purchase some books at Roberts and Tilton.

Who showed up randomly? Mega-couple Grant and Ashley!

Deanna's photos are sprinkled throughout the show.

Os Gemeos.

A detail from the Clayton Brothers. They know how to handle a brush.

Deanna's big photos. Pure Beauty!

Sprinkle some more beauty on that...

This was the crown at my talk at the OCMA. THANKS FOR COMING EVERYONE!!!!! They expected 80, and 160 showed up. And that's without the Loyal Pawns showing up. (Jacob, Devin?)

There was a chair ready for Director Kevin Barnett.

This is the painting they have at the OCMA right now. Go see it along with all the other artwork!

This a (crappily resized) photo of the invite to the Disorder Disorder exhibition in Penrith, Australia taped to a cabinet.

The amazing ESPO working on his part of the show.

Steve Powers, AKA ESPO.

The Teenage Smokers are my part of the show...

Disorder Disorder, if you live in Sydney, Australia, it's mandatory, even if you live in Melbourne you should take a road trip up, skate some spots, and see the show. If you live in the USA or Europe, I can let this one slide. Those plane tickets are expensive.

Another view of the Smokers,

An ephemera table maybe? Toy hat as art?

I got some new shots of the panel discussion at OCMA...

Joseph Dugan, yours truly, Greg Escalante, C.R. Stecyk III.

Espo again...
