So heres a re-cap of last weekend. We decided to go San Luis for the day. A few friends, just to go relax and hang out. So we grab a bite to eat at Wienerschnitzel.
The food wasn't very good but my friend Ryan insisted to go. Not to mention we were in Hanford and if you're from the Valley you know how awful their water is. After we ate we headed off for another adventure. On our way to San Luis Obispo we stopped at the James Dean memorial.
Next thing you know, we are in SLO :]
We hung out downtown for awhile. We went from store to store. We found an awesome skate shop that had some original pieces from Shepard Fairey (Obey). He's a big influence in my artwork so I was stoked to see it.
After that we paid a visit to the infamous gum alley. Anyone else think we should start one in Visalia? Maybe around Main Street?
After that we kinda got bored and headed off to Pismo Beach. We ate at Splash Cafe and then went to Avila Beach.
These birds are really intimidating when you're up close.
So as the sunsets we decided to call it a day. We go grab a bite to eat at AppleBee's. Ryan decided to do his John McCain impression and doesn't notice that the waiter is standing right behind him watching him. Then as we're about to leave he spills water on himself and leaves before anyone notices. As we walk back to the car we decide to gas up before we leave for home. In the gas station parking lot Ryan proposes the question to go to L.A. What do we say? LETS GO. So at 9pm we continue our journey to L.A. We finally arrive around 12am but we take some pit stops along the way. Around 2am we get tired of trying to find cheap hotels. Did you notice whenever you're in a big city you can't find the simplest things? As we go off the freeway we take a wrong turn. And when I say wrong turn I mean we end up in
COMPTON at 3am. We did what any smart person would do, make the fastest U-Turn of your life. We finally got out of there and as we thought the nightmare was over Kao notices that we are on Compton Ave. So we get out of there like a bat outta hell. And we safely get back to Santa Monica. Time was getting the best of us as we desperately searched for hotels. At 4am we completely gave up at parked at a hotel next to LAX and slept in the car. We got a good 4 hours of sleep.
When we woke up we got some breakfast at IHOP and then drove around L.A. We also paid a visit to the La Brea Tar Pits. Oooo Dinosaur bones.
The thing I love most about L.A. is the city is full of life. There is so much going on. And there is street art EVERYWHERE. It's great inspiration.
We ended the day by riding beach cruisers from Santa Monica to Venice Beach. It was pretty amazing. Remember to always party.
Much Love
