HKXO is an organization that my buddy Joe has created. He aims to bridge the gap between the Local bands here in HK. It is a solid idea and needs your support. Check out his blog here - HKXO for a look into all the latest and greatest news on HKs growing local music scene!
I will be taking part in the Hong Kong Art Walk this year thanks to Future Industries
Leo has been gracious enough to offer me a spot to put a couple paintings up in their gallery during the event.
The Hong Kong Art Walk is pretty cool (although, I've never been). It's Hong Kong's biggest charity/art event.... should be 'fabulous'. Go check it out if you can on March 14th. Once you have a ticket, there will be tons of beer and wine for you to guzzle all night.
Also doing something stupid with Poubelle International soon. They have a show this Saturday -----
Also, I might be on TV soon. Keep an eye out for that!
As we got to Bangkok Sunday night we waited in endless lines to get from the airport to Khao San Road (where we would spend the majority of our time).
My travel buddy Andrew and I found a place to stay without really looking.
LEK Guest House - Actually the worst place to stay in BKK. The walls were paper thin, and the windows were broken. Lek Guest House is located right in the middle of the party street which meant we didn't have silence until about 5 or 6 am... as the sun shone into out non-air conditioned crappy box of a room we could not help but wake up from our thin wooden beds. After realizing how much of a shit hole this place was we did not attempt to change places.
That night we partied...
The next day we went around looking at the slums and bums of Bangkok.
Mostly sticking to the dangerous back alleys.
Then after too much beer in the unbelievable heat we got sleepy and 'rested' in our room.
then we partied harder.
we hit up every bar on the street.. no big deal.
This kid wanted to thumb wrestle. He was a psycho.
The next day we went temple hopping...
after 30 seconds in each temple we walked back
Sat down and had some drinks. This pirate dude saw us everyday. He knew without asking us we didn't want to buy any of his shit, he just gave us thumbs up. He knew.
That night was relax night... got a couple massages then fish feet.
then a foot massage, the lady told me I had a problem with my heart. I got angry with her
Next day I got a crappy tattoo from The Sex Tattoo.
So I'm heading to Bangkok tomorrow with my good buddy Andrew. Expect a couple stupid yet eye-opening videos and a really dumb blog when I return to HK...
Also, the zine I made a while back is for sale (by payment of beer). Let me know if you want one as I have to reprint more for some people who have requested some.
