Despite working my ass off every day still I will be partying hard tonight!

I printed some shirts for a friend of mine who owns a tattoo shop. They're going to a tattoo convention and throwing a giant afterparty tonight. I am excited to get away from the shop and have some fun for a few hours.

I also had a bit of time to take pictures of my book finally.



I am not sure what the deal is for tonight with cameras, but I will try and snag some pics.

Getting ready to move some new spring stuff around the world. We have a trade show in London this month, and one in Vegas early next month. They should make a good amount of shirts scatter globally. Hopefully. I like the new stuff alot. In fact -- I will post some photos when I get them. Heck yes.

Work. Work. Work.

I love the feeling of Fall. It is by far my favorite season, and no - I will not be shy about it. The only regret I have about these months leading us into winter, is that I live in the grossest state in the entire United States. The humidity here is enough to choke a person all year long, and it is absolutely horrid.

Someone needs to send me a one way ticket to the northern states. Doesn't really matter where. I guess I will probably need two of those tickets, because I have someone I will never leave behind.

I am going to need to get to some snow in the next couple of months too. All this "Rain" in "January" bullshit that I have to put up with in "Florida" sucks a major "Dick".

Bring on the cold-fronts, and don't be stingy mister weather man.

As for stuff I'm up to: I got a new job. I don't really like the idea of sharing my time with other places away from Heartcore and MerchRobot, but lately I have been needing some extra funds. I am thinking about getting a house and some added cash to stack away would definitely be essential to that cause. I'll be graphic designing, so I might as well be twiddling my thumbs. It's all easy bullshit like business cards, tee shirts, promotional materials, etc. for a promotional sign company. I'm rather pleased.

If I do say so myself, I've got it going on.

Feast your eyes on a couple new designs I did:




Sexy, huh?

I would like to say - if you're an SG and have some sweet clothes from me... send me some pictures of you wearin' it! You know who you are.

I'm finally home. We left Warped Tour a couple of days early, and i couldn't be more happy to be home.

I will be working non-stop for the past few weeks, and am optimistic about a trip to Canada by the end of this month.

Look out for me, I'm looking to go worldwide, baby.

P.S. Check our our new tag for the fall:

Yesterday we experienced all that is Sacramento... excuse me. Marysville. This venue is in the middle of nowhere. We nearly ran out of gas trying to find the place! Eek! Seemingly it would be a good day, but not many kids showed up. On top of that, the people in the booth next to us kept bugging everyone who came to look at our stuff. Bitches.

The drive last night was so nice. We drove through the mountains, and the scenery was a welcome change from the bland plains and palm trees of Florida. Sign me up for full-bodied pines, lakes, and mountains any day. I'll glady live here, thank you.

We skipped the great state of Idaho. We weren't too stoked about the 14 hour drive, or the rumors. Instead, we took a powder and had a great day here in Seattle. We didn't do anything really touristy, but we definitely caught up on some sleep and some computer work.

Adam/Ben from Takeover Records have a cousin who runs a hotel in Seattle. Its on the top of a hill and it looks over the city - a breathtaking view. We went down to Tacoma in the Takeover van and had some grub at this rad restaurant on the water. Then we came back to the hotel, got in a nap, and had a mini party. It's been a good day, and I am looking forward to the Gorge tomorrow! See you guys in George, Washington. <3


Cellar Door. The two most beautiful words in the English language


We got the hotel hook up from our boys at Takeover Records.

Quang Le and Ashley. Two beautiful Lees.

Sunny sunny sunny. Ok, I am lying. Today in Ventura was the most amazing day on the tour so far for weather. It was overcast. We were freezing our asses off before we even got in the gate. Like I said - AMAZING [and if I sound sarcastic, I can assure you I am not]. We got a beverage cooler finally, and were able to hold cold water. Figures, eh? Considering that today was cold and we didn't even want cold water. That's how it always works out. But the weather was beautiful.

Really an uneventful day, I was very pleased with everyone I met from The Militia Group being so incredibly nice and good looking. They are definitely a good looking bunch of kids. I got a laminate from my boy Bubb from Victory Records, and Troy mixed it up with me on some Cherry 7Up. Then we did a few interviews for our book with a few of the merch guys on the tour.

In recent developments, we got a new red skulls bag to sell on tour, and it is super friggin sexy. Everyone who walks by asks about it, and a lot of kids are getting themselves some Heartcore love. Despite all that, Ricker wants us to bring it to the homefront [back to Tampa] because we aren't doing so hot on our battle of Sales vs. Gas Prices. So if you want to see us stay on the tour, you kids need to get some Heartcore added to your wardrobe, ya heard?


Troy [Aiden Merch] keepin it sexy in a new polo.


A rad, red new bag.


He's an epileptic... get it?


Danny [Silverstein Merch] keepin it real for his folks.


Brad [Armor Merch] and the best ... tattoo ... ever.


I got a laminate today. This isn't it.

The past day and a half have been full of a long long drive to Phoenix, AZ. We now have Mikey with us, and thankfully he has been able to take over some of the driving. Last night, everyone was tired and it was a difficult drive to fight off the drowsiness. I pulled over a couple of times to take pictures, and that set us back a little bit. The sky in the desert is amazing, and so clear. I haven't seen so many stars in at least a few years.

We put a blow up mattress in the back of the truck and that is where I slept for a couple hours today in 107 degree weather! New Mexico, Texas, and Arizona have proven to be pretty damn hot. Currently, we are in a Phoenix hotel room awaiting the morning and our wonderful day of 100+ degree Warped Tour. The heat here is better than it is in Florida. There is pretty much zero humidity because the deserts eat up every little ounce of moisture that condenses out of the air. Every single state I visit makes me want to leave Florida more and more.

On a side note, I am going to start working on a book with some friends. I'm pretty excited about it. I haven't ever done anything like that before, but have wanted to for quite some time. Over, and out. See you somewhere.


Fun with a flashlight.

Mike climbed over the mountain, and what do you think he saw?
