So I'm back, sorry for the super long break. My editing chops feel a bit rusty, but I hope you don't notice. Dave Conway owns and operates "LittleRadio.com" it started out as a small pirate radio station and has now grown into a major multimedia enterprise. During the summer, Dave opens up his studio to the public and hosts summer block parties and free concerts. On this Sunday afternoon, "Hello Astronaut, Goodbye Television" and "Future Pigeon" performed. What a perfect way to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon. Watch the video here!

Last weekend I stopped by the Crewest Gallery, LA's first art gallery dedicated to graffiti artists and met with it's owner ManOne. He was working on a mural for the Washington Post and I brought my camera along to document the process. Check out the video here! [2:48 /16.5 MB QT] Thanks to Sticky Rick and ManOne!

LA artists Brandy Flower and Mike C. brought their live t-shirt screening event to Geoff Oki's 4th annual T-shirt party this past Thursday. Curious fans as well as devoted T wearers packed the Mountain Bar in Chinatown to get a one-of-a-kind t-shirt made. Screen designs were provided by various LA designers including Brandy, Mike C and Oki. Check out the video here! [3:11 / 17MB QT] Thanks to Brandy, Mike and the rest of the HR crew. Also thanks to Geoff Oki.

It was around 3AM when I got the call. Emerging LA photographer, Michael Turner, was having a late night photo shoot and I was asked to document it. Enjoy.... Watch the video here! [1:27 / 9 MB QT]

I know I said no more of the vinyl figures, but since I shot this last week and I left the video posting for this week on my hard drive at work, I had no choice. David Flores is probably best known for his skateboarding designs but has most recently lent his iconic style to the world of "Dunnies." Some love him, some hate him, some call him "Sam." You decide.

So much action I had to split it up into two parts. Enjoy the 2nd half of the "Midnight Ridazz" bike ride through LA. It's a bit long, so expect a longer download. Check it out video here! [3:05 / 17.9MB QT] Hey Pam! It's your video debut! And to the haters I encountered. Eat me. [0:20 / 2 MB QT]
