EL VERANO SIN FIN

Today's Thought

Yes. Sort of.

Ku Yah!

The swell last Friday was nice, definitely had some bombs, but the Spring air didn't exactly cooperate. By the time I'd been out in the water a half hour it started snowing, "Hey Ed, I bet you thought it was Spring, well... April Fools!!!"
Enjoy.

3.11 Project presents: "Dear Japan, We Love You"
Friday April 8th
...6-9pm
Open House Gallery 201 Mulberry st. NY, NY
http://www.openhousegallery.org/

3.11 Project: "Dear Japan, We Love You." is the first of many projects we will be hosting to raise awareness and raise money for the victims of Northern Japan. We encourage everyone to give their support, words of encouragement, and send their thoughts and Prayers to JAPAN.

The Tohoku Earthquakes struck on 3.11.2011 compounded by a tsunami, and now the imminent threat of harmful radiation activity from the FUKUSHIMA nuclear power plant has left northern Japan in a state of despair as the international community looks on in horror and malaise. The radiation levels are still rising and hundreds of thousands of people continue to be stranded without food, water and shelter. There is an immediate need for assistance, and continued need for assistance up to the next 5 years as Japan struggles to rebuild its economy and its communities. It will undoubtedly have an effect on generations to come.

We will be hosting an art exhibition and silent auction with pieces generously donated from over 50 artists. The gallery will feature newly presented painting, photography, and some sculpture.

Let’s come together to support Japan and show our love. Get involved and DONATE!!!

Artists in the exhibition:

Albert Maysles, Cheryl Dunn, Chris Mendoza, Curtis Kulig, David Cook, David Ellis, Daze, Dion Agius, Edda Hansen, Eric White, Erik Foss, Harry McNally, Isaac Fortoul, Ivory Serra, Jamie Brisick, Jared Deery, Jeffrey Robbins, Jeremiah Mandel, Joe Grillo, Jorge Antonio Valenzuela, Kenji Hirata, Kenny Scharf, Kenneth Cappello, Kenzo Minami, Kevin Bourgeois, Lenard Smith, Leo Fitzpatrick, Lisa Lebofsky, Lizzi Bougatsos, Lola Schnabel, Madsaki, Marco Guerra & Yasmina Alaoui, Maripol, Marlene Marino, Maya Hayuk, Mick Rock, Miguel Paredes, Mika Ninagawa, Mint & Serf, Mosco, Naomi Kazama, Pasha Radetzki, Pork and Spam, Rostarr, Ruvan Wijesooriya, Shepard Fairey, Shelter Serra, Spencer Tunick, Steve Nishimoto, Suzette Lee, Swoon, Timothy McGurr, Wataru Komachi, William Robbins, Yuri Shimojo, Yuri Masnyj and more....

100% of all proceeds from this event will go directly to Japan Earthquake Relief Fund via the Japan Society.

On The Road (In The Water) with Family Band

"I'm on tour with Family Band from Brooklyn and we've spent the last month going around the good ole USA with Warpaint (from LA) and PVT (from Australia).  Naturally, not much time for surfing though I did have a quick dip in the pacific a few weeks ago which was pretty refreshing after driving cross country in a van with a bunch of smelly dudes.  Just wanted to send over a couple photos from yesterday morning at Rockaway (90th) while passing through the hood.  I managed to fit in a 2 hour session with a friend in between our Bowery Ballroom show and the next day's show in Philly." 

Some people will remind you that there is nothing as good as a good drummer. They keep the beat. Often in this wild world we conjecture to figure our own world is truly wild. But our wild don't know the half of it. Some people will tell you they need a good drummer, they'll get a good drummer, then they'll forget they needed a good drummer in the first place.We'll see where that gets them.  David Torch sent us these images. A stop off en route to somewhere else, making sure to keep the water tight. If they are in your neighborhood, and it sounds like they might be, check out Family Band. Revel in the quality of life.
