Matthew McKendry is on a mission to combine two the great things about summer, Riding bikes and drinking all day in public. 

His annual Tour De Fullerton has been gaining speed since it's humble beginnings in 2005. I caught up with Matthew for this year's ride to talk about the tour and discuss future plans for the event. 

Watch the video and plan to make it out to next year's shin-dig.

In addition to viewing Brett Tapia's exhibit "Squares for Squares", I also helped film this mask project created by El CAMINO for the EL CAMINO blog.  

It was fun to watch people doing art crafts, they all seemed so happy, Here is just a quick video of how the night when down.

Last Saturday (Aug 8th), I went to the Santa Ana's art district and explored its monthly ARTSWALK.  The area is filled with art galleries, an open air market, lots of people and a drum circle.  

I found a really great show in the Spurgeon building called Squares for Squares created by Brett Tapia.  

After I introduced myself to Brett, this is the video I shot.  We talked about his art and how  he goes about creating it.  Nice guy, great artist.

Mike Vitale is one of the sweetest guys I know.  He is a great song/writer and I think he has the talent to "make it" if there is such a thing.  

I had breakfast with him yesterday and was able to feature him on an upcoming episode of INTERVIEW.

We ate at Tartuffles which is located at the Fullerton Municipal Airport.

I'd like to announce a new show that I am working on with El Camino.  The show is called "El Camino art show" and it's about local art that is happening in Orange County.  

The show will be featured on Nu Americas website and shown each week on KDOC TV (channel 56).  The show date and show time is still to be determined.  

This is a trailer I did for the show.  Let me know what you think.

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:
