AT SEA May 26 2010
On Monday, the Rhythm Natives tweeted “@triciaCA ‘s mexican cruise stories are the bestess”. You’re going to have to see me or call me to hear them because the pictures below hardly paint the picture…Here are some shots taken on the boat. We went from Long Beach to Ensenada to Santa Barbara and back to LB. Happy Dirty Thirty to our boy, Claro.

We’re back…I ended the vacay by celebrating with the fam at the Alibi Room. I wasn’t there to celebrate the end of a very interesting cruise (pix should be up for that soon). Instead, we were there to toast to the announcement of our very good friends’ engagement - Jon and Ivy. Congratulations from all of us. We are so happy for you.

For the next few days I’ll be on that boat sailing to Mexico. Entries may be few and far between; I don’t know if I’ll have internets access. Have a great weekend.

WABI SABI May 20 2010
If you caught this on an entry a couple weeks ago, then you’d know that I’m now a contributing writer for Backside - the streetwear shop in Burbank that plans to take over the world. One of my first assignments was to cover the Soul Assassins build out that should be installed in the next week or so. The work is put in after hours, where the carpenters bringing DJ Muggs’ vision to life can sand and saw as loud as they like. On Tuesday night, Ben and Patrick of Weissberg & Weissberg were working on the 15 shelving units that will go up.
The shelves are supposed to be distressed, as if the wood used was stripped off an old boat. But where can one find an old boat to take wood from? So Ben distresses it himself, using the Wabi Sabi technique - the Japanese art of imperfection or imperfect beauty. He would take the shelf, hand carve it, throw darts at it, or hammer different size nails into it. It was very intriguing seeing these guys in their element, honing the woodwork craft. Next, he’s going to carve out the light box that will sit above the shelves. I won’t be around to photograph that, but I can’t wait to see it.
