When I was in Washington visiting family and friends, I had the chance to witness something awesome.
Paul and Amy are my good friends and Amy is on a local roller derby team. They invited me to one of their weekly practices and I shot this video as they ran scrimmages.
As I watched them practice, I came to realize that Fullerton badly needs a roller derby team. I'm not sure how to get one started but I'd like to offer the following name for consideration:
G.L.O.F (Gorgeous Ladies Of Fullerton).
Here is a recent newspaper article that features an interview with Amy:
Danny Vasquez is a wonderful songwriter and a great friend of mine. He performs under the moniker Black Lung Serenade and is one of the first artists on Nü Americas records.
Originally from Southern California, he now makes his home in Iowa. I interviewed him for a segment on Rehearsal Studio. We discussed his move cross country, his family and his outlook on his music.
Check out Danny's amazing song "Gates of Hell" on his myspace profile.
This episode of Make Something Real is focussed on The Hibbleton gallery located in downtown fullerton, next door to the Rialto Cafe.
Launching last month, this co-op gallery is serious about showcasing the little known but amazing artists in Orange County and beyond.
The Hibbleton is made up of 6 different people and I interviewed most of them yesterday when I stopped by. I shot this video as we discussed the gallery and their new show that opens on Saturday, June 28th (tomorrow) at 8pm.
Please come out and support, learn more about the gallery at www.hibbleton.com.
