How are my 5 readers doing?

I'm not dead. Hibernating maybe, but not dead. I may be posting in the future and then again, I may not. Keep a weather eye out anyways.

I've been watching this obsessively. It may be a few years old but this kid's style is timeless.

It's been a pretty good summer. I suppose I've been too busy doing stuff to write but that's a bit of a cop out. I've been on Instagram. Ah well.

Surfing has been pretty good. Two weeks ago up in NH was tres fun for sure. Scored my wave of the year on my Sam. It was a screamer of a right that I was able to draw out the bottom turn on. Serious pocket speed run. I've been mind surfing that one for a while now. I can see it in my sleep. I also nabbed a very clean fun knee high or so session at the local last week after work. There was noone there. Noone. It started off kind of lousy and then suddenly the wind backed off and it cleaned up. I put the Fineline pig through it's paces. Good times.

In music news, I finally got to see GBV and those old dudes put younger acts to shame. They can go and did for about 2.5 hours. Fantastic show.

Finally, I picked up a release from 2012, Ty Segall and White Fence - Hair. It hasn't left my car. There's way too much going on. George Harrison. Ty Segall's usual garagey mayhem. Bowie. In the words of Jack Black from High Fidelity, "It's....really fucking good." Dig it below.
