I rolled in straight from Oakland, holdin my dick like a US Open...trophy

I spent a week in SF with the team wrangling them around to spots to shoot photos. It was a lot of fun but also very exhausting. I wish that I had more time to hang out with old friends while I was in the city but all I wanted to do was go to bed when I got back to the hotel each night. I'll be back soon enough for a pleasure visit though. Enjoy.

We thought this old lady was going to kick us out. Turns out her grandson skates and she wanted to know if any of the skaters were famous so she could tell him. We hooked her up with a shirt.

Silas hustled fools with the dice games.

The Body of the Bird.

I've got to start off with how much I love having google analytics embedded on the blog. I'm a nerd for all the numbers and stuff it shows me. I like looking at the map of where people are that look at this magical little blog. The world map always has some random countries but Japan, Canada, and the UK are always consistant readers. Thanks who ever you are!
With the US map it's always an interesting spread. It makes sense to me that my friends in Missoula are checking in, that friends of all the Ohians out here stop by, and that places I've previously lived have high numbers. There are still lots of randoms. Check it out.

But really the best part about it is that when people search random things and end up here I get to see what it is they typed. Of course dudebarn in all its forms tops it out. But there all the random combinations of words that are typed various places on the blog that get mashed together for someone's google search. Recently a phrase in several iterations popped up repeatedly. The following 3 pictures are for that person (or persons) that have been searching "richard the mean jeans portland, or". Here is Richard in all his glory. Please don't do anything creepy with these photos. Wait, I take it back. Do something weird and creepy with these photos.



The Mean Jeans played with the always amazing Underground Railroad to Candyland. Seriously, go see them if you can.
