We didn’t attend Agenda. In fact, we haven’t been to one of the shows for what seems like years now (2014 it seems), but truth up, no one called to say they missed us so guess we’re all good. Luckily, LA Weekly went this year so we got the word on this year’s summer Agenda show from an outside source. Which is a good thing every once in a while.
Here’s a sample of what LA Weekly’sIvan Fernandez had to share:
The layout was such that everyone had to walk through the pop-up shops area first before arriving to either music stage. That’s probably why most of the people arriving to watch the Beat Junkies were dressed in new shirts branded with cartoon characters, or sporting new pairs of limited-edition kicks imported from Japan, or strapped with giant novelty backpacks large enough to carry three average-sized toddlers.
Kind of bummed we missed Tyler. . . again, but don’t think we missed much else. Click the link for the rest.
Man down, man down! Seems things aren’t all grand at the piss beer open in South Africa.
We were sad to see that the Great One had a little trouble in the barrel. Apparently,
these things happen to the best of them.
Felicidad Alcon Rivera, a bookkeeper convicted of embezzling more than $373,000 from Clay Marzo and his mother has been sentenced to two years and 11 months in prison and must make restitution to the Marzos, according to story on Maui Now.
Rivera was indicted on 13 counts of wire fraud in October of 2016 in connection with her work as a bookkeeper for Marzo and his mother. That complaint alleged that Rivera wrote herself 193 checks over six-and-a-half years from the accounts of Marzo and his mother.
It will probably take a while for Clay and his mom to get their money back, but it’s good to see justice served.
When you think of all the crime going down in the city of San Francisco on July 11, 2017 it’s good to know that the San Francisco Police Department would allow so many of their officers to hang out a catch all the action at Dolores Park.

It’s home tour time with Ed Templeton, but please don’t go to his house and steal any of his stuff now that you know exactly where it is because that would be so not nice. Ya dig?
Yeah, there’s some retro motorcycles up in this piece, but it’s also got Steve Cabellero and Christian Hosoi so we’re willing to sit through the vroom vroom nonsense for a little bit of vert.
We lagged pretty hard on this one, but just so we have it up for posterity here is part three of Tommy Guerrero’s interview with amazingly talented Huntington Beach Pier walker Ed Templeton.
On Saturday, June 24, 2017, Switchfoot’s 13th Annual Bro Am at Encinitas, California’s Moonlight Beach brought 17,000 people to the shore, made them dance, and raised more than $200,000 for San Diego youth initiatives.
“We are so honored that the local community would partner with us to host such a unique, inclusive, and meaningful event to help local kids in need,” says Switchfoot’s Jon Foreman. “To see our hometown come together and help deserving kids is an incredible experience. Surfing, Music, and the San Diego scene at its best.”
We’re always glad to see good people doing great things. Aren’t you? For the official word including all the detail from Switchfoot please follow the jump.
It’s rare that we find ourselves waiting for part two of anything, but after part one of Tommy Guerrero’s interview with Ed Templeton we were itching to get back at it. Thankfully, that time has come. Enjoy.
