HAIGHT & ASHBURY
-
VASF is the first in a number of RVCA retail flagships to open around the globe. Launched in September 2007, the store, situated on the iconic corner of Haight and Ashbury in San Francisco, combines art, music, fashion and popular culture, offering an ideal platform to illustrate PM Tenore’s vision for the brand.
Acting as centre stage, VASF showcases the latest RVCA apparel collections as well as unique RVCA product collaborations with the likes of ANP Quarterly magazine, The Cobrasnake, Hamburger Eyes, Cinelli and Adam Wallacavage. Also supporting like-minded brands by members of the RVCA family, VASF stocks brands such as The Seventh Letter jewelry and Caleb Siemon glassware.
Complementing the RVCA product collection is an assortment of books, magazines, DVD’s, and music currated by RVCA Advocate’s Family. Family is Los Angeles’ leading underground book and music emporium, founded by Australian born owners, David Kramer, Sammy Harkham and Tahli Harkham.
VASF is the ultimate platform to share RVCA’s culture with the brand’s fan base. Showcasing the talents of RVCA’s ANP (Artist Network Program), VASF collaborates with ANP members on a wide variety of projects - Artist Josh Lazcano aka AMAZE executed a piece on the façade of the building prior to it’s opening while skateboarder come artist and ANP Quarterly editor Ed Templeton and ANP Artist Clare Rojas completed the window displays for the store’s opening. VASF also showcases world renowned artist Adam Wallacavages’ unique chandeliers which hang throughout the store.
The culmination of RVCA culture is the gallery space in VASF. The gallery is a special platform for ANP artists. Curating four key art shows each year, VASF aims to become a new and exciting source of art culture for the local community, working alongside the ANP and local artists and personalities on special projects and events.

HOT BOD
This past Friday, I had an opportunity to do body painting with my pal Chris Brennan at SUDS, a skateboarding/art/subculture event put on in part by ANP’s Aaron Rose. Neither we, the models, or the people running the show had any idea what to expect, but it somehow turned out really well…
So after this, these girls get up on these podiums and displayed me and Chris’ handy work for everyone. It was definitely worthwhile.
Check out Chris Brennan’s photography at http://unaesthetic.net/ and I promise you wont be disappointed!

JUST CUZ
Just cuz we lost Sandy Kim this summer at VASF doesn’t mean we have to lose track of her awesome photographs…
Check out her New York photos at http://lovebryan.com/friends/sandyblog.php
Oh yeah, and if you talk to her, tell her to come the heck back already.

I CANNOT TELL A LIE
Member how I said that Club Unsolved Melody was a most righteous night with an excellent lineup each time? Well, no foolin’.
This Sunday features Master Slash Slave, The New Centuries (most triumphant SF rockers) and the bodacious Fast Computers who are from Portland. They really (really) jam it up… For some reason they remind me of the show Jeopardy. It’s like Frank Sinatra all coked out in the 70’s but plus some sugar and spice. I dunno. Just come.

SHARING IS CARING!
Listen’ up, talented ones: San Francisco is hosting another Zine Fest this summer! I know it’s a long ways away (a whole month is an eternity, right?) but I wanted to give you a chance to maybe even get involved with the event, and not just be a zine watcher this July.
Details for registration, the way to avoid the registration fees, and some other inspiring info is all available at www.sfzinefest.com. Now go forth and be fruitful.
