*hey hot shot*

said brown car served as our spirit animal.

for a chance misty mountain meet up!

after driving all afternoon from san louis obispo to big sur, xabi+i were delighted by this brown car vista.

so, our caravan team stopped at the next pull off spot...xabi+i went down the hill to shoot the car while the rest of the gang kicked it up the hill.
upon our return i see our friends talking to some kids..upon closer inspection, they weren't just kids but kids we know and love! none other than, mr. brandon hoy, senor gabe rosner and their tavelling companions...(you may know them from santa fe or robertas or lucy's or second stop or union pool or because we're buddies with all the same people..)

it was a really whaaaat moment!?
que random y magnifique!

after laughs, fotos and gifts of the most desired kind, we went our own separate ways. north.

anyway it was a team awesome chance encounter that none of will forget or ever believed it could happen.

(yea doggy!!)

so lesson of the day kids, put your dreams into the universe+see what comes ahead.
it might be everything you wished for and so much more.

we went out there for a wedding.

and we saw these crazy birds perched on the wall at our comfort inn.
the first of many first delights of our adventure.

star light star brite first shot we took that night.

star lounge ventura.
friday.
old school nudies with kyle and the dude, repectively.

if you find yourself staying at the vagabond inn by the beach, i'd recommend this spot for a word-up-watering-hole. star lounge is pretty much totally sweet, kinda like lucy's but with mad west coast steez.

in god we trust again:

the splendid ms. shana is moving and shaking again!
her dandy duds and precious metals have a new home on the right side of the river.
+we'll get it on with hendrick's gin.
IN GOD WE TRUST party THURSDAY in GREENPOINT.
see you there.
