Over here at the BP_TOW frat house, we have definitely been stepping up our art awareness and creativity game, and we try and recognize the people that we find inspiring.

There is a definite appreciation for the old stalwarts in the game, but we are finding that we tend to skew to the newer artist, the guys that represent the era that we grew up in and we find a common ground with. After the jump some history on the crew and a look inside the LAFCO bus! (more…)

The crew is heading out to Vegas tomorrow for the annual apparel tradeshow Magic. Should be a long couple of days and nights. If anyone will be in Vegas hit us up and let us know. We’ll be checking in on here and Twitter so stay tuned for lots of updates…

After leaving the city the Pops and I headed to Carmel and Pepple Beach to pay our respects. The tree between Hole #6 and 7 holds very special meaning to us and Thanksgiving wouldn’t be the same unless we stopped here first before meeting up with the fam.

Day 2 started out as good or even better chatting up a storm with other festival participants outside in the parking lot. Colorado people I absolutely love your congeniality. Big thanks to Arby and John (I’ve never actually meet someone really named Arby so that was a treat in-and-of-itself) for the vodka watermelon plate you had going on. For Sunday the line-up included…
