Cleaning's Never Been This Fun - Davis Move-Out

Tuesday, August 30, 2011


Headed back to Davis this past weekend one last time to help a few friends move out of their place.
Now it's official, I no longer have a place to crash when I visit (unless any of you Aggies out there is willing to spare me a space. wink)  Anyway, we all know cleaning (not renovating) isn't as fun as we hope for, especially when it's a move-out, so we tried our best to brighten the situation:


↑Shirt of the day -2nd set of the collaboration - afterschoolspecial x TIZ collabo - crew.


↑Last time I checked, the bus stops weren't invisible. Things sure have changed while I'm gone.



Davis greeted us with a predictable weather:

↑Supa hot fire.

First stop's first.






A shirt I made for my very first and only triathlon in Davis.


A near 10% rate these coinstars are taking. It's ridiculous. But with the amount of coins Jim's collected in the last two years, no one would take as little as coinstar to sort them, package them, and exchange them into bills. Guess it's not too bad of a deal after all.




Chores done.
Now back to cleaning the apartment. THE apartment that I used to live in for a good part of my college career. It was filled with memories from parties and projects, of course. And although rediscovering those good times from the bits and pieces that we clean out is quite delighting, the cleaning part still sucks. Bitter-sweet situation.

↑All the picture frames that we took down from the wall project.

Vick joined us:


Tony's masterpiece of Frankie.


Joey's last ex-car.


Sky blue tee design from way back. The shirt didn't turn out quite as well as I hoped for. Turn out, gradient doesn't work with screen printing.




Mattresses are usually the last big things we bring out the house. So we thought to put them to use one. last. time:


Our apartment's a two level complex. We've always joked around about jumping down from the 2nd floor, and now we get the chance:

↑ Midway up the stairs' level one. And from where I was standing's level two.

No idea what was happening before the jump:


Cushion, ready.


And off we went:



↑Cody's always got the best postures.






↑Felt a lot higher when peeking from the railing. Adrenalin rush, for sure.





Jim pulled a few muscle. Good times.














Probably a better perspective:


Yao joined us at just the right time.








With the rooms cleaned out completely, Tony took off and did a cart wheel.

↑That's 2 inches off the floor.

As we brought things out for donation, we spotted a neat arrangement of the abandoned furniture. Whoever's done this is freakin' brilliant. We call it the IKEA of the streets.




More items unearthed.







That's a wrap.

Off the Grid - Fort Mason

Saturday, August 27, 2011


↑ Today's tee - OG TIZ Pat from 2nd drop. Custom designed fingerprint pattern for this particular tee.

Sorry guys, there's no escaping from another food post. (Should've posted this before dinner. ) We went down to San Francisco yesterday for the largest (of the week) Off the Grid food truck gathering at Fort Mason. The day was pretty gloomy:

No better way to cheer us up than food. food. and food.

Same ol' peeps:




I'm not entirely unfamiliar with Off the Grid, although this is the biggest one I've been to.



Word.

They have gathering like this throughout the week. Each day at a different location. Friday's the best, with as many as 30 trucks full of juicy goodies.


Time to explore.


Good food brings everyone together: Met Ed, who's known TIZ through Mindy and Rolo, and his buddies while waiting in line. I must've been too hungry, I even forgot to ask for their names. My apologies!


Michelle spotted this cart from afar. It'll be our first target.


The California Sisig Burrito. $8/ piece is slightly pricey, but it's so goood.


It's got fries in it!?


2nd stop - 3 Sum Meats.


Kitchen Sink Cookie?! Tasted much better than it sounds. But at $3.5 a cookie?!


3 Sum Eats also offers phenomenal chicken sandwiches.


While everything's happening, Jim was still in line.


But it's all worth with, Jim brought back the Pork Belly Bun by Chairman Bao.


And some curry. Didn't get much info on that.


The curry place offers ninja stars, too.


5 bucks a cup?!


There were a lot more interesting tents that offer delectable, yet creative cuisines. I tried the Creme Brulee Cart in the past,  but never knew they're available at Off the Grid, too.


Zombie Curry!


Guess we weren't the only one enjoying the food.


They offer live music, too!



Thought slightly expensive and the place was slightly cold, Off the Grid's definitely a fun place to hang.
