I met Ric Clayton at ST in 1995 - I was a skinny little kid with a can of Budweiser in my hand enamored by everything going on around me where I grew up. There were 4 or 5 big groups to choose to hang out with back then, you kinda had to pick one but we still all rolled together if that makes sense. I grew up seeing Rics artwork on everything. Album covers, hand drawn T-shirt’s, walls, peoples bedrooms. This dudes a legend - he hand drew this graphic for us a few seasons ago at his crib in Venice and I got so lost in the sauce I never posted it. Much Love Ric - You’re the truth RxCX @rxcx_ric_clayton #welcometovenice - available now on www.Bornxraised.com (at Venice Canals) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-5LmqajhMB/?igshid=m0zql557bmh2

Vandalism in Venice… @therealJeffHo started the day off by tagging the Vans mural at the corner of Rose Ave. and the Venice Boardwalk near the location of the Rose Room in Venice, California, where @VansSkate is preparing for a 10-day pop up exhibit Aug. 9-18 to celebrate the Vans Era shoe as well as introduce a new Jeff Ho Zephyr Vans Shoe and a new Dogtown Vans shoe. @SuicidalTendencies will be playing a free show on Friday night and X will be playing a free show on Saturday night at the Rose Room, but tickets are already sold out, so ride by and listen from the boardwalk if you’re in the hood. 🎂🏁🔥🤙🏼 🎥📸 @juicedan #welcometovenice #nowgohome #zephyr #zboys #jeffho #dogtown #skate (at Venice, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B06uK4bFOjO/?igshid=1l6gwy7uoueci

WOO-HOOOOO!!! Finally got my AUTOGRAPHED #MadeInVenice DVD in the mail today!!! Signed by #TheMess himself, @jessmarsk8, #JesseMartinez!!! Thanks a million bro!! Your #SantaMonicaAirlines "handshake" deck was one of my alltime favorite boards to ride as a kid!! I watched the movie streaming before I actually got my DVD cuz I couldn't wait, and it is absolutely BADass!! I came from the small town of #Greenfield, #California in the #SaladBowl, #SalinasValley. And in that town you either ended up hooked on dope, joined the Norteños or worked in the fields and I was not having ANY of that!! #Skateboarding may have kept me out all night but it kept me out of the gangs too. Great seeing @jboyadams on screen again!! KNOW! YOUR! ROOTS!! I was not born in #Dogtown but the roots of modern #skateboarding were started in #Venice and #SantaMonica! I have the #DogtownSkates cross tattooed on my right forearm to rep the OGs I idolized growing up!! #100PercentSkateboarder #SkateLife #SkateOrDie #SkateAndDestroy #SkateDad #DogtownForLife #SkateboardingSavedMyLife #KnowYourRoots #WelcomeToVenice #Cali #CaliRoots #CaliNative #CaliLifer

entry 1 - part 3

December 12, 2019

So I fell asleep after that last night  — didn’t have the brains to rabbit on about the rest of the misadventure. Actually, I’m kind of wondering if I should write this down instead, cause I get tired of talking, but I’ve figured out I can do shit like hoover and wash the dishes while I talk, so it isn’t all bad. So, anyway, turns out Galilei’d really gotten herself into a mess over those damn shoes. Like, I really should’ve known, but I was so fucking obtuse that I didn’t realise it until much later. See, now I don’t know how to put it kindly, but Galilei can’t afford shit. Only reason she’s still afloat is because her dead uncle was famous and has a string of contacts literally everywhere  — he was some bigshot architect  — and he left her some inheritance that she just tosses into world-bopping. It’s not much. She’s been working at the AIO off and on for the last couple of years, cause she’s pretty much broke all the time. Oh, and before you ask me what the AIO is, let me tell you: I don’t fucking know. It’s not on Google. It doesn’t say so on the signboard. I tried asking Galilei once, though. Let me tell you how that went...

So I said: ‘Hey Lei, what does the AIO mean?’

And she said: ‘Not sure, Academy of … Institution of … they teach English there.’

And that’s it. Anyway, first thing I noticed when Galilei crashed into me was the Doc Martens, and her being broke and the Doc Martens being hella expensive, it didn’t take me long to put two and two together. That added to the fact that Galilei was talking at like 25x her usual speed  — as well as why I’d been abandoned out of nowhere to freeze my ass on the park bench that morning  — suddenly made sense too. I waited for an opening to appear in the conversation before I confirmed I was right though, cause I’m real sensitive like that. Galilei seemed real excited, but I wasn’t sure if that was real or if she was just trying to cover up for ... well, what I think she was trying to cover up for. She showed me her shoes. I told her they looked nice. She grinned. ‘I was reading — like until really, like, late last night … morning?’ she was saying. ‘Anyway, there’s this thing … about Van Gogh’s shoes and I was just thinking… You know about them seven word stories?’ ‘Like — Hemingway? Baby shoes, never worn? … I don’t remember the full thing,’ I said. ‘Yeah, that!’ She clapped her hands together, super excited and all. ‘So I entered one of those competitions, totally on a whim you know, expecting absolutely nothing, and they called back this morning to tell me I’d won!’ She stuck her feet out. The Doc Martens were red, and shone like It the clown’s nose in the sunlight. I had a bad feeling about this. ‘Do you think Thor’ll let me use his camera to take a picture of them?’ Galilei asked. ‘I’ve never had shoes this freaking expensive before. I’m looking SHARP, don’t you think?’ she said, and laughed. I couldn’t help it. She looked so proud of herself for the pun that I smiled. We talked for a little longer, then she helped me lug myself and my IV bag soul back home. It was a pretty normal day after that  — got yelled at by Thor, made lunch, started on an assignment and failed to move past the first hundred words. Kickass, absolutely normal day. Galilei left sometime after five in the evening, and I was just about dozing off again when the landline rang. I picked it up, and wished I hadn’t, because someone called the Signet had called and was demanding I pay them 300 dollars. In cash. ‘I don’t have that kind of money, bro,’ I said. I started to hang up, but then the Signet called me a bitch. It irks me when people swear at me. Like, fuck off please. I was about to tell the Signet-person this much, but then they said: ‘If you don’t bring me the 300 dollars to pay off for those Doc Martens, I’m going to drag you down to hell as well. Mark my words.’ For some reason, I shivered. Maybe because someone’d just threatened to take me to hell  — like, I couldn’t even find someone to take me out on a date, but here was this rando calling me up and promising me hell. I was so annoyed that I missed his comment about the Doc Martens, and I just slammed the phone back down onto the receiver. It hit me an hour later.

‘Fuck,’ I said, and raced down the street to the shithole where Galilei lived.

Shrouded in a dark past and under a veil of mystery.. the streets sparkle of a purple velvet gold as the wind paints with the scent of a dark blue berry. #welcometovenice #onlyinitaly (at Venecia, Italia)
