Coachella Day 2. I easily missed the first half of the festival  due to logistics in getting wristbands for after parties and from being faded. I think this is Amanda Seyfried but can anyone know for sure?

This is some girl from the hills. Love for music is what we have in common.

Hey it’s Andrew Baik! The NYU student that collects baseball cards and is technically still a virgin. Either the camera adds 20 pounds or we need to change the name to “freshman 150!”

A lonely easy to find Waldo. Even sadder is the median age of concertgoers are too young to get the reference.

Australians love a group shot.

Aziz! You are hilarious, girls don’t like you!

See Christopher Mintz-Plasse I promised I wouldn’t post the shirtless pic of you. But I will always have it to blackmail you for eternity.

In the celebrity friend category we have singer songwriter Remi Nicole.

In the dudes that look like the Manrepeller category we have this guy.

Speak of the gorgeous devil…

The Cobrasnake showing off his new body by Runyon Canyon. At this point of the day I could not take pictures fast enough. You couldn’t take one step without stepping on a celebrity. Everyone except The Game was there…

On Robert Pattinson, a green tee shirt. The same kind poor people wear.

Jasmines soon to be ex boyfriend Shaun White cut his red locks in preparation of the breakup.

I found this picture on my camera, i thought it was cool so here it is.

How many times have you tried to capture a genuine Hello Kitty moment when Jared Leto comes out of nowhere to ruin it?!

This was like super cool to the third power. I ran into an actually smiling Yasi, who ran into a cheerful Theophilus, who was flanked by an extremely stylish  Kesh! Extra credit #birkinalert

Fans of the band Pheonix… get it?

… aaaannnnd on brand quota met! Get you very own The Hundreds script hat in the Hundreds Store now!

The blog games Kato Kealin and the Pop music’s Kid Cudi. See you at Chateau Kid.

Michael Utsinger needs to relax.

What do you know another group shot.

Travi$ Scott

Look’s like I’m wrong again, you are a good dancer.

Did I mention Aussies love group shots?

Holly always the show off.

I did make it to one music filled tent. With the hopes of a secret Pharell appearence we sat thru the entire Pusher T performance. Did you know he sings Lamborghini Mercy? You learn all kinds of new things at this Coachella thing.

This Hundreds thing is really catching on.

sssspringgggg bbbbreakkkkkkk

Pay attention. The Neon Carnival is the most important event during the Coachella weekend. If everyone at Coachella is cool, the Neon Carnival is the top 1% of the cool kids. Also if you buy a table you can drink till 5am. Thank you Brett Bolthouse.

All the rides are free. The music is still the same music you have been listening to at the festival all weekend… but now in a much more crazy atmosphere.

I recommend getting a table. Thanks Tom!

Neran was unstoppable.

Somebody is getting sweeeepy!

Forgot your names but I’m pretty sure I have had dinner with Corey Smyth at least 3 times.

Ladies love Josh Yarbrough

Me, my hair, my tee shirt, and Alexander.

The MVP award goes to Matty Bouris.

The Rap Game Al Unser Jr., the blog game Anne Frank. It is now 10:25am I have not been to sleep yet.

Cut off your 2012 Coachella wristband, the most asked question for the month of April is back. “Are you going to Coachella?” For the first time ever I could answer yes. But if I’m going it has to be with special status and levels of importance. Here is my day one, week one Coachella recap.

First you have to rent the dopest house for you and 15 friends. Prob wanna make sure there are like 30 copies of Pretty In Pink. You know… the one Molly Ringwald is in?

Nick Mathers immediately shows off his sober party tricks.

I didn’t even walk over there… look how far it is from the VIP!?

These two are HUGE Molly Ringwald fans.

The author and Simon. Simon doesn’t want me to mention he got so annihilated he was in bed by 8pm.

Sam Cooper, showing his mini cooper.

Paris! Hurry to the Gobi tent, Tegen and Sarah are about to go on!

Ingham sisters. They have been coming to Coachella for like 100 years.

Balinsky in full effect.

David Prutting has 4 cameras and an insatiable appetite for powerful images.

Have I mentioned I love the Manrepeller?

Unimpressed Bobby

Yarby and Dannys roomate.

I felt like I should know who these kids are.

Always photogenic Drama and Travis.

Michael Utsinger is taking things to a whole new level this year.

They brought back the tesla coil.

Are those deadstock Adidas Sambas? Is that side torso acne… on no just bot flys.

Owner of Ksubi jeans Pauli, and the owner of X-Games newest announcer chair Corbin Harris.

Tosh and Cologne. Loved Blur, waited for Passion Pit and cried for Band of Horses.

<spring break> in a whisper voice.

Ain’t nobody fresher than my clique.

Michael Lamjc

Skrillex loves music and flatbread.

Shacky loves two things. Getting you to quit smoking, and his cat.

Friends from Newport Beach.

That was just the first day! I have 48 more hours of this.

When you need to get away from it all and the Beverly Hills Hotel pool is under construction, there’s this place. Located 10,000 feet above Sunset Plaza, situated between Brian Wilson‘s rental and a very irritable neighbor is this one of a kind water container. An infinity edge pool (also named negative edge, zero edge, infinity pool, disappearing edge, or vanishing edge pool) is a swimming or reflecting pool that produces a visual effect of water extending to the horizon, vanishing, or extending to “infinity.” Or as I call it, a place herbs from Worcester will never go.

The heated hot tub cascades 104 degree water into the deeper concrete pond. Swimming out above helicopters induces a feeling of weightlessness and is crazy as fuck.

Ben and Bobby told me I take shitty pictures. If you think my pics are better than shitty please call Ben and tell him at: 719-266-2837

The second coolest person in Australia even had a go. On Stannas: Persol sunnies; burner iphone5; prob some girls boardshorts. This pool is fatter than Rich Hilfiger!

If you want to take the sickest instagram pictures of all time you can either be me, or rent this house. 3 girls, 3 guys… I see I am not needed here. Next stop, Coachella backstage with God Lives Underwater.

While walking around Aspen I lowered my nose long enough to stumbled upon the most magnificent store ever imagined. The Columbine is a rocks and mineral shop. Most of us have been to a public institution created to inspire wonder and discovery more commonly known as a museum. Have you ever given any though as to where a museum gets all it’s shit? Some of it is donated, or stolen from other less secure countries. Some of it is purchased through a secret market of treasure hunters. I found the store that museums can’t afford.

I only asked two questions. 1. “Can I take photos?” 2. “Is all this stuff real?” the answer to the latter was “everything except the Tyrannosaurus Rex skull.”

Oh, so you consider yourself a bit of an archeologist? Have you ever found an ENTIRE NEST OF OVIRAPTOR EGGS? Well for $30,000 you can just buy these.

Oh you can buy trilobite fossils at the LACMA gift shop? Then you should get those because these are BIGGER THAN YOUR FACE. Are you serious right now? These animals had to die MILLIONS OF YEARS AGO like way before Magic Johnson’s son was gay.

Fossils are the world’s art. Every single piece is 1 of 1. Its rocks on rocks on rocks. So much shit had to happen exactly just so your dumb face can say, “pfffft whatever.” There are dead dinosaurs for sale in this case.

If you are more into rocks they have that sort of thing. Just way bigger and more expensive than @itslavishbitch can afford.

Need a cave bear skull? The La Brea tar pits won’t sell theirs… but you can buy one here. I’m so prehistoric I don’t buy anything after the Mesozoic period.

Some people like to collect meteorites. This is a slice of a GIANT PIECE OF UNKOWN METAL THAT FELL OUT OF THE SKY. Can you wrap your undersized camp hat around that? -$90,000

Here is just a lonely chubby fish. That died and was instantly buried under heaps of volcanic slurry. Did I mention there has only been THREE OF THESE EVER FOUND IN THE WORLD!

Yes it’s just a Gharial. It’s been a live since the beginning of the Cretaceous period. This will look sick above me behind my desk.

This is my favorite. I don’t know the actual name of this saber toothed fish so I’ll just call it Greg Lucci.

This thing has been eating whatever it wants for eons. Lack of food would have caused this omnivorous fish to go extinct right around the time Ben Hundreds was born.

Facebook cover page alert.

ARE YOU JOKING! A FUCKING ICHTHYOSAURUS SKULL! Between 165-170 MILLION YEARS OLD! Older than most of my jokes.

If you are on a budget and not into super cool shit maybe I could interest you in a log of petrified wood. Price tag $17,500

This was my most favorite blog post of all time. Call me a nerd, call me overly attractive I don’t care. This is real life. I’ll be at Mr. Chow’s till my pile of Velociraptor eggs arrive.

Gar fish. $48,500

Can’t buy this. Some billionaire beat you to it.

The Columbine treasure shop. The epitome of all other treasure shops. The current high score holder in the fossil game. I hope if I become fossilized I am sold here.

Every Sunday from 10-2 there is a farmers market on Melrose Place. Right by the Marc Jacobs bookstore and fancy shops with ivy covered gates and plants where the sign should be. At every Melrose Place Farmers Market there is a tent called Free Range LA. Free Range specializes in high end street dining. Delicious comfort foods. Some how Gourmet owner Jon Buscemi is involved and when he raises the flag his army comes out to support.

The fresh made biscuit with honey butter is stabtacular. The Southern Scramble sold out first. Gotta get out of bed before 1pm for that one.

I think Buscemi is the MC of the kitchen.

Jessy is the owner and too busy even for a photo.

Chicken sandwich for breakfast? I’ve done worse things to my body.

All your friends are here. Look it’s Neran Dhas.

Kevin Delaney with Matt George. I mean Matt George’s new project Waiola coconut water.

Will Eddins and Daouda Leonard know an on-site activation when they see one.

Sneaker Steve Patino and the same guy from the above photo just 3 pounds heavier.

Josh Bruner came all the way from TRUE in SF just to see this chicken shack before he moved to Vietnam.

Buscemi brings worlds and stomachs together.

The franchise is the naughtiest boy of the current generation.

3:45pm:”Nothing, what are you up to?” “You trying to have the best night ever 2013?” “Here we go.”

Maclean Jackson was in town shooting some commercial he wrote. He has never had a truly ratchet evening so we started with dinner at the opening of Goldies. Table for 5, no rez 7:20pm.

8:11pm: The most powerful tanless team of dudes that could handle a night that ends waking up next to paramedics, housed a dinner ordered directly from the chef. “Meat and Vegetables.” Was all Buscemi said to get an 8 course tasting menu. Scooter Braun joined us to compare NCAA brackets and to shine positivity on those that need it most.

9:48pm: Several tables away Alex and Tess tried to enjoy a quiet meal with friends. They instantly became infected with erasing memories and morals.

11:31pm: Next stop… getting 8 people into SOHO house.

1am: We were spotted at Bootsy Bellows. (for the 3rd time that week)

Mac was dressed like a baby model. Floppy hat, denim onesy.

1:59am: Harlem Shake live.

Rob you take photos like an annoying blogger. Said my girlfriend around 3:30am

5:20am: Ratchet bitches.

“Nevermind. I think I’d rather go home. I’m old.”

The quintessential retail trajectory outpost on this continent is Maxfield. The only place you can find Balmain next to Dr. Romanelli, akimbo to never before seen Birkin’s above actual human skulls. Tonight Maxfield hosts a Dior pop up shop. The poured concrete interior was transformed into a real life Dior lookbook.

The usual secrete service “no-photo” policy was relieved for a few moments. Maxfield is extremely strict on this rule… where do you think the skulls come from? Here are some dresses Kardashians will attempt to be photographed in later this summer.

Dior has more books than the Dallas county jail. Ask me how I know!

Future gifts that will make someone very happy… then super resentful when they try to take them back in the break up.

You know you’re fat when nothing on the rack is your size.

The absolute best part of the night was the appearance of Man Repeller. Leandra Medine is the founder and editor of her blog/instagram/fashion network www.manrepeller.com. Her ability to put into words all the sarcasm, wit, and fashion knowledge is incomparable. I think she is the best style writer in our post post modern world, and so do a lot of other people judging by her followers. Gone are the salad days of blogging and just being able to draw a dick on some celebrities face for traffic. Access does not equal success and Man Repeller proves this every day. (drops laptop exit office left)

Man Repeller’s hand glam provided by her little brother and I stopped listening because I was too excited about getting a pic with her.

If you have ever beaten your personal high score then just start chucking threes till the clock runs out that is what I am attempting here. Let’s wild out in Maxfield till they take my camera away. A case of vintage Hermes. #birkinalert

If someone blogs it and no one see’s it… does it count as being first? Here is a $10,000 carbon fiber exercise bike. Look good while you look good!

Between Givenchy and Mastermind there are a few Dr. Romanelli jackets.

This was the exact moment I was told “I’m sorry we don’t allow photos”. Thank you and good night.

Gift bag was average. Every scent they make, a mix tape, and a magazine that herbs on Tumblr would kill for.

While the entire semi professional world under 30 was at the music trade show in Austin, I decided to see some snow for the first time in 4 years. “I’m talking about a little place called Aspen.” – Lloyd Christmas. The second the driver grabbed my bags from the private jet, all I could think to see was anything Hunter S. Thompson related. I mean, he did purchase a 40 acre ranch here in the 70′s. The same ranch he will put a bullet in his head on the phone with his son in 2005. I couldn’t find anyone with access to the ranch, but I did find the Gonzo museum.

Here is some shot gun art by the Dr. Himself. Signed and available for purchase.

When Thompson ran for mayor of Aspen he got some help from a local artist for his campaign. Where have I seen this before….

Hunter S. Thompson is the creator/godfather of the GONZO style of writing. Where the author puts themselves in the story. Actually living every situation of the piece, becoming the main character. Where have I seen that before…

Artist proof, Ralph Steadman. Oh you had this hanging in your dorm room? I had it in my prison cell. Kinda the same.

Original art by Steadman used in the film Fear and Loathing. Did I mention this museum smells like your play cousin Ricky’s weed den?

The people that knew him personally all said “he literally didn’t give a fuck.”

“I would feel very trapped if suicide was always an option.” -Hunter S. Thompson

Send lawyers guns and money.

Can you spot the Vonnegut reference?

Political posters form Thomas W. Benton. Uh oh, I hope I didn’t dry snitch on some fucked brands graphic mine.

Right now Logan Hicks‘ first Los Angeles solo show can be seen at 6522 Hollywood BLVD. I first learned of Logan’s work back in 2006 when he posted his time lapse videos on the artist catapulting network Myspace. Since then Mr. Hicks has evolved into more than just a hyper stencil cutting savant.

Every color is a new stencil. Every shade. Plus the model has to stay very still while he cuts.

These pieces exemplify Logans self taught style and process. These next photos add new layers and turn stencil art on it’s… er… other side?

Patterns, live models and interior blueprints carved in different mediums.

You can almost see the months on the calendar it took to create the computer precision detail… by hand. Ain’t nobody got time for that!

This one is milled out of a solid piece of aluminum. Because it is almost impossible to etch into liquid aluminum.

See, I told you.

The show is named Thin Veils and Heavy Anchors. I can’t attempt to reiterate his definition, he does a much better job HERE.

Logan Hicks, established, maintaining, and creating then until forever.
