Show Me Your FUN FUN FUN!

I'm hydrating right now, been doing so all week. I've stockpiled my fridge with Pedialyte and melons - melons just sound like a good idea. I've been doing the Huey Lewis "I Want a New Drug" dunking of my face in ice cold water, AND I've been doing 10 push-ups every morning (ok, more like 4, but whatever) to get my bod prepared for the fucking mayhem that is Fun Fun Fun Fest, and I think I'm goddamn ready. This Friday it is ON. Miss Austin, Volcomunity, and Volcom are going to feel each other up so hard this weekend, you have to come by our booth for some inappropriate fun.

Every day at the Fest there is going to be an Instagram contest with Miss Austin and Volcom (@missaustintexas, @volcomentertainment) at the Volcom booth. For Miss Austin, I want you to show me your fucking FUN! I wanna see your boozin', dancin', twerkin', and nipple pinchin'. Hashtag your photos at the Fest with #MissaustinFFF and I will be picking one person each day to win some Miss Austin and Volcom goodies. I want to see you people bring it!

For Volcom, come by the booth and get a limited edition screen printed T-shirt, Instagram your T-shirt and hashtag #VolcomFFF to be automatically entered in a random drawing to win a subscription to the 2013 Volcom Ent. Vinyl Club! One lucky winner will be chosen each day of the festival. RAD! We will be screening these two Scratchy designs:

I will have my Hunk and Babe hat on as well, snapping photos of all the man meat out there, and hot lady stems. Check the blog, Instagram, and Volcomunity for updates and recaps each day.

If you haven't planned out your music loving day yet, and I know there are a ton of bands who are must see's, here's what's up with our Volcom homies:

Friday
2:15-2:55 Torche -Black Stage
3:15 Torche - autograph signing Waterloo booth

Saturday
4:00- 4:40 Riverboat Gamblers -Black Stage

Sunday
3:35- 4:15 Valient Thorr -Black Stage
4:45 Valient Thorr - autograph signing Waterloo booth
6:30 Turbonegro - autograph signing Waterloo booth
8:50-9:50  Turbonegro -Black Stage

Ride your bike, take the bus, walk it, just don't drive. You don't want some pesky ticket or tow job killing your buzz. And, don't go too hard at noon so you're a drunk mess come the X or Run DMC show, seriously. Pace yourself.

See you at the Fest! We'll be crushin' beer cans by the Black Stage, come say HI!

Hunk and Babe of the Week - Couples Edition!

It's that time! It's rare I pick a twosome to represent the Hunk and Babe of the Week, but these two are so irresistible, they got me right where is feels good. Two great people, equally adorable, individually creative, and partners in crime. AND, they just got hitched. She is Autumn Spadaro-Cali, top-bitch photographer. He is Rich Cali, musician/painter. Together, they make a sweet, sweet couple, and help comprise hugely popular Common House (along with Adam Mendez, Conner O'Leary, Will Gaynor, Mike Combs, and Patrick Lillard).  He is also 1/3 of Volcom's own, Broken Gold.

Brown 8's

 

The resemblance is uncanny, right? "Look at the brown 8's on her!" [whistle, whistle] I'm a fan of the complex emoticon, huge fan actually, the more convoluted, the better. This is a self-portrait, and the official Miss Austin emoticon. If you follow me on Twitter, Instagram (both @missaustintexas) then send me a Brown 8 shout-out! I'll probably send you a more complex emoticon in return. If you have my actual digits, then lucky you will get some dirty ass combinations.

Are my eyes as big as my tits, or are my tits the size of my eyes? Who knows! One of these statements is accurate.

Throwback Thursday - When Mexicans Dress Up

 

That's me on the right.

Welcome to my life. This is a photo of my sister and I on Western Day in elementary school, year unknown, sometime in the early 80's. Check out my short/long arms! Are they too short or too long? I can't tell, that starched button-up is deceiving. I'm also going to give a shout-out to my eyelids. Apparently, I had a hard time keeping my eyes open in photos around this age.
"Cheeeeese!"
Lids drop.

I will say that my legs are oddly the same size today as they were in this photo, I still have those boots, and why the hell did my mother hike up my sister's pants like that? Lo siento, Sister.

Currently, I'm trying to find the photo when we dressed up like The Dude and The Sheriff from Rio Bravo, courtesy of my father's love of John Wayne. Save for next time!

That's What's Up

Fall is here, and I have some shit-a-brewin'. I have been busy working on a few upcoming projects, more info to come. I hate to leave you hanging and all, but that is just how it has to be for now, ok? Don't look at me like that. Here are some teasers/hints.

I sit on light sensitive paper. I will show all of you come 2013.

Bring the noise for Fun Fun Fun Fest! I'm coming for you, Hunks. Let's shotgun a beer and take questionable photos.

This is not only going to be my Fun Fun Fun Fest outfit for Saturday, but I'll also be trolling for hot Babes just like her for Miss Austin and Volcomunity blogs. FFF photos!

 

 

 

 

 

Volcom will have a strong presence at FFF Fest this year - Turbonegro, Valient Thorr, Riverboat Gamblers, and Torche! We will have a fucking raging party going on at the Volcom tent with lots of giveaways, booze, and contests. Come give me a drunk smooch. More info coming...

 

 

It really wouldn't be the holiday season without my drunk Uncle Tio making an appearance. We'll be seeing each other a few times at upcoming functions (!baila esta cumbia!), maybe he'll ask me to put on a wet T-shirt again!

[fingers crossed]

One more thing, BIG UPS to Keep Austin Generous, and the other sponsors for bringing back the Trail of Lights this year. KAG is also working on a nice twist at the end of the trail to incorporate local non-profits. Love that. And, don't forget to check out the Transmission Entertainment page for what's shaking at the Mohawk and Red 7 this Fall.


See, that's what's up!

Happy Anniversary, Common House!

 

 

Tonight, let' get it on! It's the one year anniversary of Common House (!), and the release party for the 3rd issue of Karate Foot, a zine by Shaun Mefford, Shawn Rylander, and a bunch of other drunk skaters. Come have some booze, make-out in the bathroom, drop your pants, whatever. It's going down from 6-9 pm tonight. See you there!
