last sunday may 6th was the 9th annual Greynolds Park Love In Festival . It was my 3rd year vending the Love In Festival and my 4th year going. It is my favorite festival of the year. I can't wait for next years already. The park has been the hippie hang out since the 60s with jam sessions, poetry readings, peaceful demonstrations, dancing, and playing and this festival brings back all the flower power for a day festival celebrating the 60s with peace, love, music, crafts, food, and fun. They day was a perfect sunshine & some clouds day. Music played all day with fun cover songs of the Rolling Stones, Beatles, Janis Joplin, Hendrix, Tom Petty, etc and you just couldn't help but frolic around. They had The Rascals close the show and everyone was 'Groovin' to the songs. Greynolds Park is a beautiful nature filled park. It is a great setting for the festival with a nice hill with a castle on top the stage is just below facing the fill and people can ...

on march 31st i participated in a rad art contest at a surf shop in fort lauderdale, BC Surf & Sport. the show caught my attention in particular because one of my favorite surf artists Andy Davis was putting it on along with Billabong & BC. I have been a fan of his art for years and never thought i would get the chance to meet him. He is an artist from California his surf art has been on posters and clothes his paintings show so much joy that is from the soul of a surfer. he paints such life into the waves and into the surfer guys and girls he paints. they are wonderful. he recently joined forces with Billabong and has been creating art for them and making lots of rad shirts, shorts, hats etc. His art is reaching places i'm sure he would never have imagined. This contest was a great local art show with the theme of Waves, it was open to anyone to submit an original artwork with that theme and on march 31st they would have a show & announce a winner. Whe...
