Ok so officially...I have been slacking. As you may know, if you know me. Im a man of many excuses.
But since this blog entry will contain more than the lasts of my rants, Ill cut to the chase.
Heres a scene of Nicks house. This is the night where Aloha Fixed Folk Family Band started. We stormed the airwaves over at KTUH and were promptly kicked out for being too drunk and too many.
A following day where we took turns on J's bmx. He may rock a fixie but dont limit this man.

Skate boys in the house. Bryant who works for Kicks HI and models part time. Mikey who just hustles everyday!
