Weekend gig with the Godkins

Had a gig with the Godkins where they led worship at The Rock Church San Diego. It was a full day for us, but we enjoyed our time there. I actually ran into a lot of old friends which was pretty cool and three family members. They have a great sound system which I was really amazed by haha and not only that but the team and leadership is awesome there too. Other than that, it was a great long day.... they had an 8am, 10am, 12pm, 5pm and 7pm service. Here's some pictures from that day...

Check out the recent pick up. Thanks to our local hang out, Goodtimes San Antonio. We know we may be a bit on the older side, but we are kids at HEART. Keep kickin' and pushin'.

JOEYCIII 1st Blog

Hey guys... I'm just going to straight start off with how I got this year started. My girlfriend's family and I went on a cruise with the Katinas and the Godkins on January 19th. It was our first cruise and it was probably one of the best vacations I've been on just because there was 24 hours of food and dessert and the people I was with. Anyways, I was supposed to run sound for the Godkins set but Charlie (Katinas Sound Engineer) was there and of course he's a way better Engineer than me, so I just took some pictures of them with the camera I got for Sheena for Christmas... side track: I bought the camera so I could use it too... haha... j/m... but the only thing that was running through my mind was how am I going to ask Sheena to marry me?!

I was supposed to ask her parents over some dinner before the cruise, but I just could not find the right time to do it. So, I found this opportunity right before we boarded the ship... her parents and I were outside and I just flat out asked them right there if I could marry their daughter. It was really informal, but at least I got that done. There went 10% of the stress. Now to the day I proposed.

It was on January 22nd after dinner and the Katinas and I planned it out to where sang a song with them during their Katin-a-oke (It's where they are your band for a night and you are the lead singer... straight nerve racking!) but I gots to do it to make this happen. Anyways, right after I sang with them, I called her up to the stage and somehow made it through. You don't even know how nervous I was. Thank God for the Katinas cause they made it smooth and less stressful. They even sang us a song after and let us slow dance to a nice medley of love songs! And yes I did cry... I was trying to man up but dood... just that moment and music got me... I'm so grateful for the Katinas... But yes... check out the video below and some pics of that night on top... Sorry I'll learn how to organize these blogs better... till next time...

FIXED FRIDAY. ALL THE WAY FROM SINGAPORE!

The homies from FIXPATRIX threw a vid up of a quick session.

HomeMadeFoods

Being born and raised in the United States, didn't mean at dinner we were commonly served pork chops and potatoes. A homemade meal usually meant some sort of filipino dish our parents whipped up...you know (and you probably do know) like Adobo, Menudo, Sinigang, etc...usually it would be some sort of meat dish served with rice. It is all the bomb!

For those with less adventurous palettes, you really can't go wrong trying these two:

Here you see Pancit Malabon...some other variations of Pancit include Palabok, Canton, Bihon...

And Lumpia! Shown here is Lumpia Shanghai...but there are other variations as well.

Keep in mind that we do recommend HOMEMADE!!!

IT AIN'T WHERE YA FROM...

you know the rest...the new drop is around the corner, here's a glimpse to pique y'alls interest. stay tuned.

KEEP IT WIERD.

We like to venture in exotic foods so this week we decided to chomp on ones who CHOMP!

Bay Area Graf Artist - Dream

It was an honor to know Mike "Dream" in my lifetime. In this subculture, everone knows that graffiti is of essence, and should definitely know that Dream was a King when it comes to the streets. He dominated and continues to dominate on the graffiti scene because his legacy still lives on today (see dreamtdk.com). His work is characterized by great flare, tight penmanship, and uniqueness. This is not surprising, for it was in his person - loyal, outgoing, strong, creative, and inspiring. He definitely expressed himself through his art and never fronted.

Dream passed in 2000 when he got shot in Oakland, CA. Love goes out to all who knew and remember him. Rest in power!

An Irie Posse piece... Probably his latest work w/Spie...

alfredohmg

What up? Let me start off by saying my name is Alfredo. I was born and raised in San Diego, CA. Lived there most of my life. Involved in all the things a typical Filipino would do in Dago. Martial Arts, sports, riding freestyle bikes, skateboarding, music, popping, breakdancing, hanging out at local malls, growing and fixing (own) hair, house parties in garages, fixing up cars (Honda), dropping out of Jr Colleges, etc. You guys know what's up. Then had a family and felt a calling from the Lord to move to San Antonio, TX. Been here for close to 3 years. Love my past, breathing in the present, and looking forward to the influence HMG will provide in the future. Shalom.

MayHMG

Born in San Diego, raised in the Bay Area. My earliest influences began as a child in San Francisco, where my older cousins introduced me to the rich era in which they lived. It was the "Soul" and "Soulfunk" eras (remember the stuff on KSOL?)! Later, it was growing up with breakdancing, beatboxes, djs, dancing, various artists/groups (like Run DMC, Michael Jackson, Prince, and New Edition!), KMEL, MTV, freestyle (hi energy of the late 80's and early 90's), rap, and some of the greatest bay area graffiti artists, among many other less notable influences. Looking back, it can't be merely coincidence that I went to school with Chico Green who later on became a famous rapper in the bay, Spice1! Time has passed, but these things still are a part of who I am today. Though I still get nostalgic at times, I like to look forward to what's new...like HMG. That's new! Nowadays, I like to chill more often since family has become priority for me. My personal blog PieceJoy.

ON YOUR TOES.

Its that time again! We have new tees that are going to drop, so keep on your toes. These next tees are going to be lifestyle driven designs and experiences that bring you back to your childhood or even may reflect your lifestyle now.

Last night we were sketching and playing around with ink and paper. We were trying something with the effect of our old home SD and new home SA. As kids growing up in gang infested streets, we witnessed and participated in pretty much everything that dealt with that particular lifestyle. So we wanted to implement our childhood nostalgia into the present era. We don't live that way now, but its a small part of what's engraved into our memories. We leave it there so we can remember what we came from with no plans on turning back.

SAVED BY GREASE MONKEY.

We drove up to Austin for a press check and the LS400 alternator went out on us and we got stranded on the freeway. I was able to crank her up and make it to an Autozone. So imagine 4 hrs in parking lot with the chariot up in the air, no jack stands, borrowed tools and a $300 alternator. As soon as we figured out the alternator was the problem we got under the whip to get wrenchin'. Then out of the blue Charlie the angel crawled up under the car and said, "Yall aint no whatchall doin under there, let me do this thang".








So he was able to change out the alternator with in an hour without adding the time of waiting for the part coming from north Austin. Thanks Charlie!! If you are ever in car trouble holla at Charlie the grease monkey. STOP DRINKING ON THE JOB AND DRIVING TIPSY!

For those that dont know... SA SNEAKS UP CREW got something up their sleeve. STAY TUNED.
