Winter Session

I went back east for the holidays. I flew the red eye to Boston, and spent a couple days there with some friends, and then took the Fung Wah Chinatown bus to New York, where I spent a couple more days there taking in as much east coast as possible before having to come back to San Diego.

Here it is in photos.

Somewhere over Boston, about to land.

My friend Boris whos place I was crashing at and his friend Vanessa. On the train to Cupcake land… 

…Where i was invited to Johnny Cupcakes Christmas party.
The basement had a full arcade, so a little wine and pacman would suffice.

Johnny himself and Boris.

Then we went to a house party somewhere mad far from Johnnys.
Homie was rocking bedazzled biggie shirt.  

This is Chris. He works for Karmaloop.
He’s a really nice guy even tho he looks intimidating in photos.

This is Luke. He works for Karmaloop and Orchard skate shop. He looks like Lizard King.

And by the way, here’s Orchard.

The good homies, Matt Bagley and Broderick Gumpright.
