Cabin Fever @ Mammoth '09 aka Spam & Eggs Weekend

This past weekend I headed up to Mammoth for Cabin Fever with Usual Suspects LA. We had a beautiful 3 story cabin.  There were also other groups of friends up there the same weekend with their own cabins, but everyone was busying doing their own thing.  I wish we all could have meet up and partied!  

Anyways, it was my first time to Mammoth and my first time going snowboarding.  I was super excited but a bit nervous at the same time.  All I knew was that I was probably one of the best dressed snowboarders since I was sponsored by DC.  HAHA

Thanks to Keith (DC Life) who hooked me up with a stealthy black outfit, and a dope white snowboarding jacket for me to keep.  Thanks bro!
We left Friday morning for our 6 hour excursion.  I drove most of the way while everyone was knocked out, but luckily for me I had DJ Mark Marcelo's "The After-Party: 90s Bedroom Mix" to listen too!
I saw the end of this rainbow but there was no pot of gold at the end.  =(
6 hours later, we were 3 miles away from Mammoth Lakes!
Samantha aka Sammie x John aka Ibay greeted us when we arrived.  This is a cute picture of them!  Aww...
"Hey Ibay!  Did you want to jump into my king size sleeping bag?" -TK

"I was just thinking about it..." -Ibay
A short trip to the market turned into a 2 hour journey.  Its a long story but basically we had to get chains so we weren't slipping and sliding on the roads.... Blah blah blah...  Luckily for us, Carlos is McGyver!
Finally we made it back to the cabin to find the rest of the crew had just arrived.  
So Super Stus: Sammie x Alfredo x Harold
We played Mad Gab the first night.  Shit is hilarious!  For example, "Up Racked Hick Gulch Oak" is "A practical joke"... Its hard to explain, but its a fun game!
It was a spam and eggs weekend... HAHA.  Thanks Sherlie!
Shots of Crown!

Welcome to Mammoth!  I was pretty nervous since it was my first time, just getting off the lift was a bit tricky because I didn't know what to expect.  I didn't fall, but Alfredo did!  HAHA.  My first time down the slopes took a minute and a few falls, but I was quickly getting the hang of it. 

I saw little kids, probably 10 years old just bombing down the slopes, going off jumps with no fear.  I kept thinking, "Where is the fear!?  Where is the fear!?"  Geez... They were all really good, or really fearless!

After my first run, I started gaining confidence.  I started carving and bombing down hills.  But I got overly confident and tried going off a jump on my 4th run and ate shit!  I landed on my tailbone and just laid there for about a minute.  Man, that shit hurt!  HAHA
Don't fall!
Alfredo x TK 
Ibay x Sammie
Hi Loraine & Chief!

Check out the crew: Ian x Magic x Alfreod x Sam x Harold x Shanara x Ibay x TK x Chief x Carlos x Loranie x Abel (with Allen behind the camera, he's always behind.  HAHA)

I love snowboarding!
Valentine dates: Shanara x Alfredo...  Its gonna be a fun weekend!  I can't wait!
FUN TIMES!
Once we got back to the cabin, Shanara, Harold, and I jumped into the hot tub to rest our muscles.  Check out the extension...
WTF?
WTF x 2!?  HAHA
De Car Tour 2009
Let the party begin...
Happy Birthday Abel!
While some of the other guys played poker downstairs, we played a hilarious game of Kings Cup.  We were all getting ignorant, sorry if we left you drunken Facebook videos... HAHA
Rules: No using names, no pointing, no cussing, every time you drink you must remove the little green man off your cup, clap you feet, say "Hummmanu Hummmm", and drink with your left hand.  It was ridiculous!
Guess who got the 4th and final King!?
HAHA!
Afterwards, we started doing witchcraft.  I don't know about this...
Ashy (toe) knees!
Where is West?
I still don't believe it!
Thats cute!  Ian, what are you whispering into Magic's ear?  HAHA
HAHA... No homo!  I love Allen (Usual Suspects LA)!  We're just playing Taboo!  I was checking to make sure he doesn't use the Taboo words... 
We got into an intense game of Taboo... Guess who came back and won!?
Our team!
Loranie sealed the deal with her 7 card round.  Good job girl!
Time for some more poker!
We ended up staying up till 5AM.  I was in and out of naps, getting drunken phone calls, and going on Facebook.  

The next morning we cleaned up and headed to the Breakfast Club down the street.  We were all tired of spam and eggs.  It was time for some real food!
Table #1
Table #2
It was definite fun times.  I wish we could have meet up with everyone else in Mammoth, but its all good.  Thanks Ibay for organizing Cabin Fever.  I'm really glad we all went.  Lets do it again soon!  

Supposedly I won the award for "Cabin Fever", but I'm not sure if thats a good thing.  I wish I could show you why, but those pictures are inappropriate.  HAHA.  See you guys back in SoCal!

Here's a nice picture I snapped on our way back to SD.  I see the light...
Time to get ready for another exciting and adventurous weekend in LA!

The After-Party: 90s Bedroom Jams by DJ Mark Marcelo

It's finally here ladies and gentleman, the highly anticipated follow up to DJ Mark Marcelo's "Headbands & Scrunchies".  This time, "The After Party" is taking it to the bedroom just in time for Valentine's Day.  No need for words, just play this off your iTunes and let the magic happen... ;)

 

The After-Party is DJ Mark Marcelo's follow-up to acclaimed 90's R&B pre-party mix Scrunchies & Headbands. The After-Party lays out the soundtrack of the post-party, club-to-the-bedroom, late-night rendezvous.

Includes songs from: Janet Jackson, R. Kelly, TLC, Sylk-E. Fyne, Subway, Intro, H-Town, Jodeci, Brandy, Color Me Badd, 112, Adina Howard, Genuwine, Mint Condition, Silk, Mya, and then some. You get the idea, right?

Happy Valentines Day! Download the low-endurance version (50 minutes instead of 70) for free. The songs just play out shorter.

DOWNLOAD & KEEP IT SAFE, KIDS.

CD orders for the high-endurance couples will be available in a few days. My bad, Freaks.

WTF?

Annabelle just sent me this link to some photos from her night out yesterday in Encinitas.  WTF!?  I guess while her, Jenn, Mikey, and Scott were at the beach they found a dolphin stranded.  They ended up saving Flipper by pulling him back into the water.

CLICK HERE to catch Jenn's full recap of Operation Dolphin Rescue.

Hella random! 

WTF?
This was too crazy not to blog.  Thanks for saving Flipper!

"I love Jose"... HAHA

This past Friday, I was in Mammoth so I wasn't able to attend our Exclusive event Thin/Onyx.  Despite the rain, I heard the place was crackin'!  I also heard that our DJs killed it!  Thank you gentlemen for holding it down. 

Happy birthday to Angie Girl, Lora, and Brandon!  Since I wasn't there, I came up with a secret password that would grant you free admission all night, "I love Jose!"  HAHA.  Everyone thought I was joking but I was serious.  I guess a lot of people used the password... HAHA.  

CLICK HERE to view a few pictures from Mikey's flickr account from Thin/Onyx.  Thanks Mikey!

Bay Area in the house!

Thanks for coming out!  We're going to be hosting events at Thin/Onyx every 1st and 3rd Fridays of the month.  Check us out once again next Friday, February 20th.  Holla!

"Swagger Like Us" Grammys Performance

Last night's performance with Kanye, Hova, TI, Weezy, and MIA (?) at the Grammy's was the shit! By far the best performance, in my opinion. But I don't know if MIA should have been there, it looked like her baby was gonna pop out and run across the stage. I mean, I give her props for performing, who wouldn't want to share the stage with 4 of the biggest names in Hip-Hop, but man, you're about to explode girl. Maybe the outfit was a bit too weird for me... Meghan said, "She looks like a lady bug!" HAHA

If you missed the performance check it out below:
I'm still not sure why it was black and white at first...

5DTV - Pilot Episode

During Agenda a few weeks ago, we filmed a pilot episode for 5&A Dime's 5DTV. I guess you can call me the spokesperson. Thanks to Jay and the rest of the 5&A Dime fam for the opportunity.  Look out for more episodes coming soon...

We've been toiling away night and day over our latest venture (a video catalog) which we refer to as 5Dtv. It will not only give you an extra special glimpse into the lives of us at 5&A Dime but will also show you some of the ins and outs of our industry and the people behind it. We will show you everything from the daily grind and hijinks, to how products are made and the masterminds that make them. If it's informative and/or fun we want to cover it.

This first episode features the Agenda trade show that is hosted here in San Diego. These trade shows are where we go to view our brands upcoming lines and meet up with friends. We would tell you more but you should just watch the video and see for yourself.

In the very near future you will be able to log on to our site and tune into a special 5Dtv channel to watch your favorite shows. Stay Tuned!

Special thanks to Charles and Garvin for all their hard work on this project. We would also like to thank Mark Cruz "Unknown Document"and Jay Cruz "Think Department"for the tremendous amount of help and guidance along the way. We love you guys!
