You know what I don’t get? Gaping buttonholes. Like the epic ones where you can stick a whole beer can in it. Every time I see one, it reminds me of a urinal at a bar. Like you see that 3 inch hole and all you want to do is get all your piss in it as if you’re playing a carnival game to get that $2 plush doll. What’s the fascination with those? Like people want to see if China is on the other side? I just don’t get it.

I think I might have sold myself on something that wasn’t real. I mean honestly, was Val Kilmer really going to be at Upper Playground SF at the Twixt exhibit?

I think I am more starved for celeb cock then I thought but alas, I was wrong and I was left with a crazy concoction of blood stains, behind the scene movie photos and one big ass fucking clock. Great Halloween type of a gag but I expected a little bit more professionalism from Francis Ford Coppola set team.

Stopped by super designer extraordinaire Benny Gold’s Beer & Bolt’s Friday to get some suds before supper time. Benny is truly an imagineer, not only thinking of ideas but actually making them into real life. And still, he find ways to give back to the public with free PBRs to anyone who asks. What a quality fellow.

The absolute best deep dish pizza in all of San Francisco. Little Star kicked my insides and left me with bowel movements that anyone would be proud of.

Finally saw the infamous Banksy stencil on Commercial and Grant St. in Chinatown. Really cool to see people trying to preserve street art in the…”streets”.

One stop shop for all your hipster camera needs. Lomo‘s has officially landed in the streets of SF a month ago with their full catalog hands on in store.

And quadrupled on some Haroshi X HUF X DLX skate decks for the collection. It’s the closest thing I can get to an actual art piece without spending $30,000.

Things are pretty slow here in the city of Giants. The weather has shifted from fog infested skies to clear winter chills and my hibernation tendencies usually come in full affect. It’s just eat, shit, nut and sleep. It’s a habitual routine that usually doesn’t phase out till the rain clears up. Summer couldn’t come fast enough.

I am a little slow to the punch this past couple of weeks so pardon me. For more instant glamour, check me out on Instagram @Fongstarr or just click here.

Purple Haze

November 27, 2011

Broke out my bike today and did my own art walk in the Mission. You’d be amazed what kind of talent is out there and how people do this just for the hell of it.

Haze X HUF skate deck from a black friday sale. Eric Haze is someone that I’ve admired since my days. Truly a stand out in the industry of graphics and arts.

Midnight Swim

October 31, 2011

We’re on a rooftop in the Mission this year for Halloween 2011. This is one of those parties where you go with someone that knows someone else that wants to bang some guy that she met at another party before this one. Girls will go where the penis goes and I will go where the alcohol goes.

Stop number two. White people just know how to do it right. Why pay to go into an expensive club when you can just bring the club to your own backyard.

Stopped by Mezzanine Sunday for the Walker Ryan pro party with performances by J-Billion, Rob Young, Pep-Love from the Hieroglyphics, and The Jacka.

J-Billion with a swagger over a hundred gah-shmillion.

I never was and still am not a fan of the Hieroglyphics Crew (Wu-Tang stole my heart first) but Pep-Love can still rock with the best of them.

Karl Watson introduces Walker Ryan to his well deserved pro ranks. After his speech, they showed Walker Ryan’s pro video part. I actually first heard of him from the 510 Skate shop video but didn’t really think much of him at the time. This dude has progressed like no other and has been killing it ever since. His Concrete Jungle part remains to be one of my favorites today. Make sure to get his board when it comes out and support a local Bay Area pro.


Thrasher’s Mini Ramp Jam

May 8, 2011

Jocks vs skaters. The never ending battle of the poster boy meat head and the misfit social outcast. Usually these things are a recipe for disaster but sometimes they work out to everyone’s advantage. WIth the help of the Giants, Thrasher Mag actually got permission to setup shop in McCovey Cove so some of SF finest skaters could shred the mini. Even with the cold winds, some marvelous shit went down. Top it off, the Giants beat the Rockies and Lakers are sucking mad dick! (I just had to throw that in there)
