I met Davis and Alex from Undefeated Santa Monica today. Nice speaking with you guys, your store has a great vibe going on!

Arrived to LA yesterday morning where I’m staying at my very good friends Carmen and Adam! Carmen just got her Medical ID to buy healing herbs yesterday, which basically means you get to buy great pot at a local farmacy.

Gotta thank a few people today! First, that’s Matt above from The Darkside Initiative (that place used to be Recon SF on Powell). He offered me the green Sophnet. X Nike Free Trail 5.0 at the crazy price of $70. Thanks a lot man, I really appreciate that! More after the jump…

Dans son dernier livre Le privilège des jonquilles l’animateur de télévision publique, Pascal Sevran déclare que “la bite des noirs est responsable de la famine en Afrique”, propos qu’il défend dans une interview publiée le week-end dernier dans Var Matin, déclarant en outre qu’il n’aurait pas de compte à rendre sur ce type de propos et qu’il faudrait même stériliser une bonne moitié de la planète.

My hotel happens to be a 3mn walking distance from HUF (that’s my man JB on the left, thanks) and the new store from The Hundreds. I was impressed by both stores, great interior design, friendly customer service, the very best!

Left Portland last Tuesday to go to San Francisco, CA. The Bay Area is probably one of my favorite area in the US. There just something in the air here (I’m not speaking about the freezing wind) that makes Northen California different from the rest. Oh, and I’m finally going to enjoy some €/$ crazyness!

Skateboarding in an almost empty (but still legendary) Burnside, watching Mount Hood on the horizon… Those were definitively some highlights of my stay in Portland last week. I’ll be back there in about 10 days…

Portland’s a great city. Think middle-size, liveable city with about 500,000 people. Although it’s the biggest city in Oregon, you can hardly get lost thanks to the Willamette River and its many bridges. People are really laid back and you can feel a strong concern for environmental issues. Here are a quick shots taken from the first day, dowtown. I will post more soon, think snowboarder heaven Mount Hood, skateboarding mecca Burnside, etc.

Left Madrid last Thursday, flying to Porland, OR, with a 6 hour wait in NYC…

If you want to make crazy money, just open a little take-away pizzeria downtown Madrid…

Madrid is getting ready to celebrate two big events in the next days. First and foremost, the victory of the Real Madrid in the Spanish League of Football. It always comes down to this, they just always win. Party will take place when they officially win, which should happen this sunday, or next game, as usual around the Foutain of Cibeles, and should gather thousands of people! The other event is the celebration of the Dos de Mayo, the uprising of the people of Madrid in 1808 against the occupation army of the French leaded by Napoleon… Next are also some random shots from downtown taken on this week end. Have a nice Sunday!

So Brazilian twin brothers Os Gemeos were in Madrid last month for their new show, Sonhei Que Tinha Sonhado (check pictures from the show here). They also had some quick fun on the walls dowtown! Nice…
