Savage Tests of the Savage Quest







-having trouble loading videos, will put up as soon as we feel like it.-
So we've left Ocean Beach San Diego.  Surfed once, skated a lot, and I might like to add that I, Nikki, for thee first time ever successfully dropped into OB skate park bowl four consecutive times at about 3 in the morning with a few alcoholic beverages in my system and with a little help from some killer skaters who were rippin' in the park prior, doing bowl transfers and such, no biggie.  This was all happening just as dear Kristoff was just about to arrive to San Diego with Stan in the VW, from his trip to Washington.  He will have to tell you more. 

 Last week we arrived  in Newport hanging out at James' place while Kristoff got his computer fixed, it was a good time, practiced some tunes, ate some really great vegan food at this girls house who started hosting vegan potloch type sunday dinners, how lovely, hmm?  
Met some cool cats on the other side after attempting to get accross the bay for free by swimming.. i was shortly stopped(observe photos added)
Nonetheless, I got somewhat restless with having to be quiet after 10 o clock so myself and good ol' Duggy decided to hitch to hollywood with a feeling of optimism in our back pockets.  About 25 paces outside James' on our way we decided to go to Venice beach instead.  After 10 minutes of waiting this kid getting off work picked us up only because he knew no other living soul in the radius of 13 miles would, and that doesn't have anything to do with the fact that it is the 2nd richest city in Cali.  So our pick up buddy took us all the way to Long Beach and told us a bit about himself along the way, going to school and working, economics and psychology, rad kid, so he had to go to work as soon as we got to 4th st in Long Beach. Me n Doug chilled at Cherry park and went for a stroll in the streets.  We're cruising down 4th st and ask some kids if theres a food bank around.  They let us know of  a vegetarian restaurant down the way that does meals by donation every sunday.  So we go kick it the 
direction pointed out and end up having this crazy amazing experience that is an experiment done all by volunteers. As soon as you walk in your meal is paid for, there are no prices on the menus and you can have anything you want, even 3 meals.  They definately served with love. (Refer to video for more information(video nnot available just yet))  At the end your give a donation of whatever you feel.
Later on we gave our pickup buddy a call and hung out with him, watched this crazy movie called The Holy Mountain by Alejandro Jodorowski. Check it OOOUUUUUT!!! THIS IS NOT A MEXICAN WESTERN!!
Next day all 3 of us drove to Venice beach and hung out for the day, ended up coming back to Long Beach to stay at our new friends house.  Doug bused back to Newport this morning to meet Kristoff.  

TheSavageTest: so we heard that Kristoff, thinking we had gone to Hollywood, biked out there from Newport, on a beach cruiser.  Thats about a 2 hour drive.  I couldn't believe it.  That is truly savage.  Well since we were not there, he was MIA for a little while.  

So today I ate 50 cent potato tacos, helped friend do laundry, hung out at the park, and went to friends pops house in Huntington beach for a lovely sushi quality ahi tuna bbq.  So incredibly amazing.  Driving home we were pulled over by the cops for a brake light being out.  Now keep a neutral mind when reading this.  Basically due to a misdemeanor for graffiti 5 years ago in san fran and blah blah blah, they took him in to jail, i was left with the car while he might be extradited to san fransisco.  Pretty lame, wicked kid, so I had to drive back to his place earlier tonight and so now I am in his room on his computer waiting for a call to see if I will drive to San Fransisco tommorow to pick him up. Not 5 minutes after i left with the car another cop pulled me over for the tail light. They've really been slammin
 hard lately.  At least they weren't assholes, as long as you don't approach them with an attitude and stay neutral they are generally alright unless they themselves permanently live with a cactus stalk up their ass.  

And let us remember
It is always good in the hood so long as your keepin it real.

Hopefully the video uploads work, should get some sleep, chip chip cheerio an too da loo

I would also like to dub San Diego as one of the many vortex's of this universe. 
Lake Atitlan, Guatemala, n the whole of Vancouver island as well

peace and love

Nikki
