Join Cory Duffel and Ambiguous in the Central American country of Panama in part 1 of their video series trip. Yeah, the place with the canal:

Larger Than Life is an art showing featuring three of the industry's best creators: Jose Cerda, Dean Bradley and Teddy Kelly. Their work will be on display this Saturday night at the brand new Shorebreak Hotel in Downtown Huntington Beach, CA. I really like the line at the bottom of the flier "She said she loved me, good thing I didn't believe her," ain't that the truth.

I've been to a few Jose Cerda's showings (that's one of his pieces to the right, Pat Benatar), and he has such great steez with a brush. A pro skateboarder turned artist, who didn't let the self expression stop when the wheels stopped spinning. He's a Volcom featured artist, and is always putting on shows at Hero's in Huntington. It's right down the street from my house, so I always make it a point to check them out, so do guys like Ed Templeton and Ben "33" Brough. Click here to check out the last one featuring the works of Jeremy Wray.

Teddy Kelly is one of the guys creating all of those super unique graphics over at Ambiguous, and Dean Bradley is the President of Atwater clothing. How's that for a portfolio. This show is going to be killer, stay tuned for photos and a write-up.

On their way up to San Francisco for the Wallenberg deal, the Girl/Chocolate team will be stopping at the Encino Val Surf, to put on a demo for all you valley girls and boys. So, instead of going to mall, or sitting in traffic, or whatever you do in the valley, cruise over to check it out.

The crew will consist of: Guy Mariano, Mike Carroll ,Marc Johnson, Biebel, Mike Mo, J Dubbs,Vincent Alvarez, Alex Olson, Daniel Castillo,Chris Roberts,Chico Brenes and Brian Anderson.

Ambiguous had an open house party at their new headquarters over in Santa Ana the other night. I stopped by for a few drinks which turned into a bit more than a few, they were free, which can be a good thing and a bad thing. At first a good a thing, but than towards the end of the night it can turn into a bad thing. Like when your breaking chairs, and using one of the broken pieces as a baseball bat to hit water bottles and be beer cans at people. On second thought, that's probably not so much of a bad thing, so yeah, free drinks are good!

Anyway, the party was pretty damn fun. There was art show of painted ping pong paddles, a ping pong tournament, and lots of slaying going down in the skate facility.

I'll be posting a bunch of pictures from the night when I get my camera back from my dumbass friend. Until then you can check out the photos over on Ambiguous's site by clicking here. That's me and Wei, aka Hunter S. Penguin, above. Photo: Ambiguous
