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, JOYA Candles and Hamburger Eyes to name just a few. Also supporting like-minded brands by members of the RVCA family, VASF stocks brands such as Gato Heroi longboards, 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 Wallacavges’ 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.

RIDE ON
Our buddies at CC Rider have moved. But that is okay. We will follow them wherever they may go.

DEFINE KRAPP
If you like film, music, literature or the pursuit of intelligence, you might also like Mr. Greg Hermann’s blog, which you can check out here. If you do not like those things, I suggest you give them a try.
Brushing up on such things is a whole lot easier when you’ve got a compass to lead you in the right direction. This Oklahoman now calls Paris home, so I think it’s pretty safe to say that he’s got a savvy sense of direction. (No offense Oklahoma, indeed I’ve never met an Okie I didn’t like)

HOWDY POPS
SO Pops is having a karaoke night now? I think it’s true. This video seems to think it’s true. I have always appreciated the seedy good-time that is Pops, and I think you will too.

Cheap beer, good times

LIGHT VISION
The Light Vision store, which is usually online only, is having an event. Now you can see the people who make up the madness of Light Vision, a sort of behind the scenes view in the form of a P A R T Y. It’ll all be going down at Anica boutique in the Tenderloin area. Come and drink, listen to music, and show off your best pins.

LATER ON, MY LORD
Goodbye Michael Jackson. You had the shittiest life ever, and I hope you are in a better place. I will always remember your crazy ride at Disneyland, how awesomely strange you were, and the dance moves from Thriller. I feel really bad for Britain right now, they are probably freaking out and crying in their tea.
RIP
August 29th, 1958-June 26th, 2009

YOU SHOULD.

INDIE MART
Summer is so awesome. Especially those SF summer days that actually feel like summer. Somehow Indie-Mart was lucky enough to land on one of those days this year. If you missed it, never fear. You can still find a lot of the brands online. But you’ll have to wait until next year for the bands, the excellent Bloody Mary’s, and the ambiance.
Check out Hummingbird Vintage here
Radical locals Shannon and the Clams played at Thee Parkside for the fest, look out for their next show here
AND my two favorite mentionables from the Indie-Mart, but unfortunately I was too deep in Bloody Mary’s to photograph are CC Rider, which you can check out here
and The Good Shop, which you can check out here

SOMEWHERE OUT THERE
I first met Andrew when he was crashing at my house when I lived in the mission. He left to travel the country, and has made a whole lotta friends in low and high places. I ran into him once in Baltimore at a cafe, I was heading to the bathroom and he was washing dishes. He pops up every now and again, and it’s pretty neat when he does. And NOW I can track him around on his travels… and you can too. On his photo-blog, Same Bodies, which you can check out here
and if you’re really intrigued, you can check out his older work, here at Baltimore Andrew.com
