Off from Long Beach for adventure. Passing the Queen Mary.

Seagull lurking hard on our snacks.

He liked Have'a Chips, the best chips ever.

I think one lodged in his throat.

Nobody anywhere, so nice.

My first ever sighting of the elusive Giant Black Sea Bass. They used to be caught in abundance off Catalina Island, (see this old photo from 1905) but have since been overfished and are critically endangered. This one was 5 feet long, and probably over 200 pounds.

It was just lurking under the pier all day taking handouts from people.

The people from Joe's Rent-a-Boat (The best activity by far on the lsland!) were worried that a kid would leave his/her hand in the water and the fish would think it was some food. This beast could easily pull a 4-year-old into the water.

Giant Sea Bass documentary Part 1 --- Part 2

This guy was trying to pet it.

Mike V was there shredding a mini ramp demo and killing it.

The sea was calm and the moon was bright and full. We saw dolphins, giant sea bass, bald eagles, harbor seals, sea lions, and leopard sharks. A good day for sure.

"The road to success runs uphill." -Willie Davis

Glasgow was kind to us, and we are looking forward to going back. The people at Mono, and Good Press were very cool.

"A person who has not done one half his day's work by ten o clock, runs a chance of leaving the other half undone." -Emily Bronte

They hate Billy Marks there.

A police box by the Cathedral (which closed before we got there.)

This young man Rory Price stopped me on the street and invited Deanna and me to his studio (a 15 minute walk away) at the Glasgow School of Art. So we went for it.

"In Royal Exchange Square outside the Glasgow Gallery of Modern Art and forming an end to Ingram Street is an equestrian statue of the Duke of Wellington by Italian artist Carlo Marochetti, erected in 1844. Capping the statue with a traffic cone has become a traditional practice in the city, claimed to represent the humour of the local population and believed to date back to the first half of the 1980s if not before. The statue is a Category-A listed monument and due to minor damage and the potential for injury that the placing of cones involves, the practice has been discouraged by Glasgow City Council and Strathclyde Police in recent years." -Wikipedia

Rory again...

Ruth Carruthers, who works at Huck Magazine.

Teen Smoker (Sorry I forgot your name man!) in front of Focus Skateshop.

Some skaters who were shredding the park before the rain ruined the sesh.

Hogwarts, er, Glasgow University.

"A fool's brain digests philosophy into folly, science into superstition, and art into pedantry. Hence University education." -George Bernard Shaw

The Kelvingrove...

"Everybody gets so much information all day long that they lose their common sense." -Gertrude Stein

"Oh, how precious is time, and how it pains me to see it slide away, while I do so little to any good purpose." -David Brainerd

The news about secondhand smoke has not reached Glasgow.

The Buchanan Galleries, this is as far in as we went, only 20 feet to the smoothie stand. I bet it's nice. Maybe next time.

Deanna at our local Barcelona jam, Juicy Jones.

I think Deanna shot this one.

You break you buy.

The Guell family liked to place their doo-doo into real fancy receptacles.

Deanna was enjoying Gaudi's mosaic work.

Deanna with La Merce.

One of many Good Friday processions that come to the Cathedral square.

The artwork in the background is a Picasso.

Oh yeah, and these guys in hoods and pointy hats that are called "Capirote" and resemble Ku Kux Klan outfits to Americans.

There were some in bare feet and with chains around their ankles holding candles. That is a long and cold march in bare feet.

One of the procession floats.

The music was quite nice, horns and drums. I should find a CD of that stuff.

An early sneak peek of my attempts at shooting skate photos. That's Javier Sarmiento doing some moves for me. (shot a bit late Deanna!)
