Transmitting from Schoolyard Skatepark

Mole in SF : The Remix : January 2011

     Presenting "Mole in SF : The Remix", a two part video compilation created to showcase my personal San Francisco experience in all its glory. It's a sort of cut and sew of everything we filmed in my two week stay. I mean these edits have it all; the hills, the trees, the spots, the hobos, the trees, the street beers, a detailed discussion regarding Gordon Bombay's hockey career, shitty West Coast jocks talking shit, and possibly the ugliest joint ever rolled. Enjoy and stay tuned to TRANSMIT for more 100% original programming.

San Francisco : January 2011

Cruising with Bristol

 Hubba Hideout was demolished less than three weeks after I shot this photo.

 The Embarcadero Fountain

 View of the TransAmerica Pyramid

 The Golden Gate Bridge

 Rumor has it that this very thin row of apartments on Broadway in which Bristol and Ian live was once the residence of several famous Beat Poets, including the likes of Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg.

 Tourists gather at Pier 39 to watch the Sea Lions. 

The City of the Seven Golden Hills 

I want to send out a big thanks to Bristol and Ian for letting me crash in their tiny North Beach apartment for more than two weeks. This trip would not have been possible without them. Stay tuned to Transmit where I will repost the video footage from this same trip featuring me and these two shredding everything this amazing city has to offer.

Ian Gow : Gap into Bank : San Francisco

Ian rides through the trees and gaps into the skinny bank as seen in "Mole in SF: The Remix". Stay tuned for more photos from my trip to SF way back in January 2011 and a repost of both sides A and B of "Mole in SF: The Remix". 

Cool People I've Never Met

 First up is the first drawn, Gucci Mane. I mean come on, who doesn't think Gucci is cool? Although it is becoming a bit obvious that he is beginning to lose his mind.

 Next up is legendary motorcycle builder, the one and only Trevelen. Known for his lowrider style bikes, he often uses vintage car parts as accent pieces. There's more, but you'll have to look him up to find out.

 Onto the musicians; with these two guys everything you need to know about their personalities can be deciphered by just listening to their music. First up is the man himself J Mascis, of Dinosaur Jr. fame. Duh.

 Here we have David Bazan, the frontman behind Pedro the Lion. Although Pedro the Lion has since disbanded, he still writes powerful and personal songs as a solo artist.

Lastly I give you the oddball, both in theme and in paper color. This is the San Francisco based tattoo artist Grime. Identified by the burn scars all over his face and body but known for his insane work ethic and attention to detail, he runs one of the most highly revered tattoo shops in SF, Skull & Sword.
