Earlier this week Patrick and I met up with JB and Raef from Richard Kidd and checked out the Tom Sachs exhibit at the Gagosian Gallery in Beverly Hills. My boy Will has been working there for about a year now and it was about time we stopped by for a visit. I guess it was just a coincidence that I randomly chose this exhibit, cuz when i told buscemi about it he mentioned that he had curated an art exhibit in New York for Tom Sachs about 5 years back. The exhibit was more than we could have expected. If the pictures don’t tell the story, let me reiterate in words…BANANAS!!! This dude put a suck and blow tequilla dispenser in the spaceship! Check the link for proper details…

So Vision Expo West took place in Las Vegas last week and a couple of us cats from the MOSLEY TRIBES creative team figured we should tag along. Lets just say we were blown away. We’re not really sure what stance to take on this quote from the legendary H.O.V. We’re just hoping that someone forgot to ask him to sign off on it. Peep it and decide for yourself.

It had been a while since I had taken a nice drive up the California coast, so last Sunday I decided to visit one of my old stomping grounds. When I was just a little gromit, my pops and I use to drive up to County Line surf break at 6am every Sunday, check out the swell, and get wet. The session would conclude with a bowl o’ chowder and phenomenal crabcakes.”The Net” (as the locals call it) opened in 1958 and has always been a popular spot for bikers; I vividly remember a few crazy biker fights. I always wondered if those brown bags they were carrying around had anything to do with it. If your feeling lazy next Sunday, go peep this place, its the best place you haven’t been to and if its good enough for the Hells Angels, its good enough for you!

On saturday I cruised down to South Orange County to go see my good friend Anthony Carney (RVCA/ACTIVE) skate with the legend Christian Hosoi. There was a small demo going on and Christian was the main attraction. It was great to see a legend in action and that my good buddy was going to be ripping along side him. It was funny to see two different age groups present, you had the old school riders waiting to catch a glimpse of the “CHRIST AIR” and the youngsters learning about a man who revolutionized the word of skateboarding. Peep the “Run In With Hosoi” the last few seconds of the video.

This season was the first time that MOSLEY TRIBES has shown its goods at Magic. Our newest collection Resort/Spring 08 was on smash, the new acetate colors and styles brought the heat to the streetwear section and was the talk of Vegas. We set up a photo booth to capture the collection on the faces of the peeps at the show, we also want to say thanks to all the homies that posted up for us. Sorry this took so long to get up.
