Chad from APB & myself collaborated to do a tshirt design to help Kenny Brimer and his fight against Leukemia. The design was done in the beginning of November & Chad got them printed & labeled in mid-December. I made hangtags with a sketch done by Kenny. Now, I finally got around to setting it up for purchase via Paypal. The tshirts are $24 + $2 shipping in the U.S.A. All Proceeds go to Kenny & his fight against Leukemia. Support your local.

Video clips from 11/7, Vans Store Ala Moana Center of Ray Barbee meets the Mattson 2 posted. They played for like an hour & no one was really there - just employees & passer-bys. Scored! I ran out of card space & got maybe half of their set. They were super cool, down to earth, & seemed to be having fun jamming. Files are hefty at approximately 200mb so be patient & enjoy!

Been spending way too much time on the internet checking out cameras. Ended up purchasing the Superheadz Black Slim Devil 35mm camera.

Here's another camera I would like to get for video, the Digital Harinezumi.

The Diana Mini would be nice but quite pricey.

O.G. Here's a 7'4 Single-fin Bill Stonebraker that I got from a friend. I believe it's from the early 70's. I had Kevin from Glastech repair the dings & lay laminating resin on the deck & rails to seal it, then sanded & polished it. Can't wait to try it out.

Just got back spending 4 days in the Big I, Hawaiian Paradise Park to be exact. It's a subdivision between Keaau & Pahoa. Hope to live there some day. All the houses are on at least 1 acre lots. Big trees, dirt roads, morning & evening showers . . . ahhhh, the simple life. I will be posting some photos soon.
