Re: 'impromtu' Artshow for Oil Cleanup

'impromtu' is a spur of the moment quick response by Texas coastal artists and photographers to help combat the oil cleanup. Taking care of their own backyard, Jon Steele and a band of local Texas surf photographers and artists are gathering to raise money to help clean up the oil spill in the Gulf. The 'impromtu' art show to be held July 2nd at the House of Rock in Corpus Christi TX will host the party starting at 8pm with percentages of the nights money raised going to help the ongoing oil cleanup in the Gulf of Mexico. Will Crum and others will be playing acoustic sets among the many beach lifestyle driven artists. A short film from recent travels of Steeles' will be shown as well.

Artists include GScott Ellwood, Gabe Prusmack, Kendal Bayliss, Davis Eiermann, Chris Aeby, Stanley Orchard, Mike Boyd, John Olvey, Micah Steph, JR Watson, Dallas McMahon and more.

Photos will be available for press.

Whirlwind...

The past few days have been a whirlwin... I usually take care of all my business when a paycheck comes in .... hence the whirlwind of what i running around paying bills, playing and picking up stuff for the process of life in which we need material things for cleaning, hygiene etc.... Taught some surfing and getttin ready for my skate camps to start up... whoohooo..
So I finally slowed down and took this picture....
Will catch up here soon with lots more pretty pictures...

Weekend Warriors.....

I hate em!
They fill up the freeways... every eatery is FULL and you have to wait in line...
Beaches are crowded and they are all a bunch of Kooks!

anywho... Here is a shot Boehne shot when we first started out our trip to Texas... Tommy Lloy, John Badfoot and myself..
this was the first fill up after leaving California....
great trip...

BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!

"THIS PARTY ROCKS!" exclaims Cannon Carr as he runs back up the ramp.. The 4 year old was hosting one of the most fun Birthday parties I have been invited to. Tons of friends were on hand to enjoy the ramp, cake, pizza and a few cold cans...
Kurz puts a few up there...
Yes Cannon, THIS PARTY ROCKS!

John Badfoot.......

Just ask a man why he has a nickname.... he can tell you what it means... but untill you see the TRUE nickname come out, you will never truly know this man...

John Armin was on a road trip with us.... He was a tad standoffish at first....
Boy was i wrong... it was great to travel with John and he brought humor to the trip...
check out more on the infinity blog... i think Dave has the puking footage up somewhere.. haha..
You can see more of John and our trip below in earlier blog entries here..
But regardless.. Here is a teaser from our trip... You can see John Badfoot Armin pulled it together well..
Cant wait to see the rest!!!!
