Joe, Chicken, And The Bee

April 30th, 2009 by Lance Michael Hakker

Nima walks into my house, aka the temporary Ashbury Emporium, with a bee on his shirt. Don’t freak out.. it was dead. But it was funny none-the-less.

Joe Carlino is taking a break from his travels while making the new Transworld snowboard video Get Real and came down with Chicken to the Emporium. He got ambushed by some kitties.

My Elph is seriously sick. The flash can instantly turn a brightly lit yogurt place into a sexy dark environment.

Joe’s thought process: Chocolate ice cream… yum. Oreos… yum. Peanuts… yum. Ok that’s it. Cookie dough… yum. Raisons… yum. No more. I’m going over board. M&M’s… yum.

And look at Chicken’s.. mad mellow. I think. But notice my camera’s flash didn’t blow it here. Nice huh.

ODYN VOVK/Ashbury Emporium Update

April 30th, 2009 by Lance Michael Hakker

Nima and I met up with Austin Sherbanenko of ODYN VOVK to check up on the new space. What you see here is the front of our downtown LA spot. We’re keeping it that way too.

This is what you see as soon as you walk in.

Mad taxidermy ready to go up.

Other devices, such as the coyote door knocker.

Fresh art.

Austin and Nima checking it out.

From the show room into the work space.

Edgy.

A Duck Before a Kr3w and Supra Visit

April 28th, 2009 by Lance Michael Hakker

This duck has been hanging at our temporary Emporium for the last 4 days. I say temporary, because the Ashbury Emporium is finally moving to downtown LA within the week.

Nima, Mike, and I headed to Kr3w/Supra to go over some stuff and hang with our friends. Here is Supra shoe designer Josh Brubaker and his spankin new computer.

And newly hired Supra designer Joseph Ward. Huge Laker fan and he has the meanest hardflip I’ve ever seen.

Josh’s baby real life baby shoe.

Kr3w designer Dan Rhoades. He thought he was just showing me a funny youtube… nope, I was making a model of him. A hair model.

Mat Mickel’s desk faces outward, so there’s no sneaking up on him.

Peace Utah

April 27th, 2009 by Lance Michael Hakker

These are Justin Meyer’s dogs, Beans and Molly. They’ve grown less vicious with age and made my stay in Utah much more pleasant.

We played a little Pictionary. Here is Videograss filmer Sean McCormick’s cat.

And his girlfriend Kelli’s drawing of north.

Then we went to a small gathering at Pat Fenelon’s house. One moderately blurry Mike Comrie.

Larry and Pat being mad serious. Cheers.

Kyle, Nick, Matty, and a nice lookin lady. She seems pretty interested in Matty. Matty is moving to Atlanta tomorrow.

Darth Meyer and Amber Meyer came out too. I think it took a little prodding from Big Mountain, Robbie Sell (on the left), and myself.

If you run into Kyle Fischer, ask him about his run of luck lately.

Well would you look at that. Pat matches the table cloth.

Penguin Man!

Everyone got together for a little lunch on our way back to California. Pat and Lurch.

Robbie, Fern, Jenny, Justin, and Amber.

Jarad, June, Bigs, Nick, Harrison, and Larry.

Jarad’s new teeth.
