Kink dudes posted up in California

Some of the Kink dudes are going to be staying in Long Beach for the winter and are updating their every move at The Kink House. You can send them texts or call and whoever's home will reply. The Dude should be out there soon once the weather out here really starts sucking. Send them a text!

The Dude

The Dude's friend Dan (Foley) put this edit together while they were at Woodward a few weeks ago.

The Dude at Woodward

The Dude's been at Woodward for the last few days playing with his franz and reminiscing his youth at summer camp, except this time he gets to do grown up things. This is a wee edit of them playing at a new part of the camp called The Block.

Here's the thing

When putting on a little bike documentary screening in Baltimore, you have to include the little kids that actually ride little bikes. When making it 21+ at a bar on North Avenue on a Wednesday night, you kind of exclude all of those kids. Instead, it's put on by a group of hipsters that call themselves something ridiculous that don't ride little bikes. Did you even know that you can find over a dozen dude's that ride little bikes at Charm on Tuesday nights? Maybe they're not as cool as Baltimore hipsters who ride track bikes (or even some of the guys that do ride BMX in the area) and do tricks at the lot across the street from my apartment.. but they're the kids that actually ride BMX and go to FBM events. The Dude is probably the only one that actually knows the guy that put the documentary together and has gone to every big event FBM has put on, not to mention the guy that runs the company.

It pisses me off.

Boys, sometimes a girl just needs one

These are the boys that woke me from my coma last weekend. Arizona ad? My mans looks so yummy.

Photo Chris Marshall, the loudest man I have ever met.

The Dude in Arizona

He sends me pretty pictures :)


But they usually look like this.

Los Angeles through Defgrip

The guys at Defgrip put together a Los Angeles Photogallery from their recent outing in the city. It's interesting how partial I am to posting about anything related to California. And it's also interesting how HIP Tecate has become in the last few years. I can recall early memories of my dad and his friends drinking Tecate in front of a big screen TV with football on. Maybe the kids are catching up to what is really good. Anyways, check it out here.

Brawlin' at the Belmar, getting eaten alive by mosquitos

The Dude is in there somewhere, doing a barspin over a giant heap of dirt. Scary.




After the contest was over, Superbad Brad showed up and serenaded the whole group with a boombox that was duct-taped to his hand. I'm sure there will be footage of all of Saturday's madness on the internet very soon.


(taken by the Dude's iPhone)
Brawlin' at the Belmar was held in Binghamton, New York. The Dude warned me that Binghamton was like a ghost town, but I wasn't expecting it to be that bad. It was terrible! Everyone was old and ridiculously overweight, it was a sad sight. I can't imagine what people do in that town. The "downtown" area was a two block by two block area that was not poppin at all. When we got to Binghamton at 9:30am, I was hoping to get a soy latte at a coffee shop because I was dreaming about one during the whole 3 1/2 hour drive there. When we arrived, the chances of me finding a latte were slim to none, but I was relieved to see a Dunkin Donuts and settled with a gigantic coffee.

For some reason, I wore a dress to the hoopla and got eaten alive by mosquitos. My skin reacts crazy to mosquito bites and I am now left with 20+ red splotches on my legs. I love nature, nature does not love me. I hate to be a girl, but sometimes.. there's no other way around it. Luckily I had pants in the car so I changed right away. They go from my foot to my butt. Uncomfortable.

All in all, it was fun. I met a couple people that I've heard the Dude talk about all the time and it's probably one of the last times I get to go to a contest/trip with the Dude since he's going to be busy on his own trips soon.

Bow Wow

Whatever happened to him? Tomas tattooed him at Paradise over the summer..

Jesse, the Dude, and I took a stroll in the area for a few hours. Saw this car

Later we saw an old man getting into it.. embarrassing. There was an orgy of unleashed dogs, which was cool, but two of them were huge! The black one came up to my waist. Jake would hate that dog.

There was also a tiny little pug that was trying to get everyones attention, but it was too small compared to the big ones rolling around. A lot of them were really horny, and aggressive about trying to get some.

I am completely over this weather.
