Tropical storm Lowell is about 450 miles to the south-southwest of Southern Baja right now.

One of the key figures in the early evolution of skateboarding from a wholesome, contest based "sport" into the freewheeling art form that it is today was Tony Alva.

Tony is now 63 years old, the oldest professional skateboarder in the world, is considered by many to be the godfather of modern day skateboarding. Alva’s brand of aggression and bravado in the 70’s set the stage for the way skateboarding would be forever defined.

Vans’ The Tony Alva Story chronicles T.A.’s humble beginnings on the streets of Santa Monica to his rise to superstardom as part of the legendary Z-Boys, his inevitable drug-induced implosion and his ultimate rise from the ashes to accept his rightful place as a beacon of hope and inspiration for generations of skateboarders the world over.

The film premiere will be followed by a Q & A hosted by Christian Hosoi with special guests Tony Alva, directors Rick Charnoski & Coan "Buddy" Nichols, Peggy Oki, and Elijah Berle.

Written & Directed by Rick Charnoski & Coan "Buddy" Nichols/Six Stair Productions

Starring: Tony Alva, Jeff Grosso, Wynn Miller, Steve Olson, Shepard Fairy, Gus Van Sant, Josh Brolin, Jeff Ament, Glen E Friedman, Robert Trujillo, Brad Bowman, Pete Zehnder, Jeff Ho, Stacey Peralta, Elijah Berle and more.


Mike, aka German in Venice, vlogs about daily life in Venice Beach. In his newest video, he addresses all the growing number of homeless encampments in Venice.

"Today I went down Venice Boulevard to showed a Homeless encampment underneath the bridge, and then I went to Venice Beach Boardwalk and showed the new skid row of Los Angeles. Lots of homeless people camped right on Venice Beach. It is not a good look for the community something has to be done."

Now the "unofficial" update, we gathering some info from some of the locals:
The woman sexually assualted is said to be a 29 year old college student/graduate.
