The Greenroom Festival 2012
I just wrapped up on an amazing event in Yokohama, Japan at this year’s Greenroom Festival. Thanks to all of the folks involved and some of the old and new friends met along the way.
Japanese Surfer/Artist, Yusuke Hanai was awesome and showed us around Zushi, Osaki, and Kamakura taking in the sights and checking out some of the surf culture in Japan. A highlight of that day was stopping in at Hidetaka’s shaping bay. Sitting atop a pastoral hill in a traditional looking structure along with rooftop clubhouse overlooking a reef break, I loved seeing instances that reminded me of soulful sections of California but were distinctly Japanese… and blended just right.
The event itself was super fun… We got to listen on stage with Donovan Frankenreiter, Lotus, and the Drums. Epic. We also got to hang with amigos like Thomas Bexon, Yusuke Hanai, Heather Brown & Chris, Takashi, Ashley Lloyd, Risa from GAS Interface, Josh Hall, Two Crows, David Hanson, Mason Dyer, Mikey DeTemple, the always epic Jim and Sam from TCSS, Elle Green, and countless new friends that we shared a few brews with.

I’m currently packing and in a few hours will be headed to San Francisco Airport with suitcases jammed of C-prints and polaroids, maple frames, and a few tshirts. All made in California. I’m headed to Japan to exhibit work at the Greenroom Festival in Yokohama. Music by Donovan Frankenreiter, the Drums, and Slightly Stoopid. Lots of great artists and some surf films will be playing too (Sight/Sound and A Deeper Shade of Blue). We’re also stoked to see some old friends. I hope I can sneak over to Kamakura and check out the surf culture of Japan. See you there….
