alex olson

i met alex at point mugu by the rock. i put on the right shirt and we walked around and he snapped some pictures and i told natas it was going to be weird but we still did it and i thought it was pretty weird but he handled it well. natas wanted us to take pictures of each other for a quiksilver ad but i was feeling kinda awkward and i drank like 5 beers and didn't take a picture. i told him it would be like a stand off. we talked about surfing and skating and he asked if girls go crazy for surfers, like groupies you know, i told him not really, well i've heard some stories but not really. well actually more recently i saw some young girls goin pretty wild for the young surfers. but anyways...

courtney and i went to a gallery opening in new york. we pulled up in a cab and i texted my friend and he came out and grabbed us cause i don't think they would have let us in otherwise. it was a pretty flash event and the paintings were big silhouettes of horses or cowboys and sometimes both and everyone was pretty and happy and chatting about their collections and drinking champagne and suddenly my sweater felt like trash and i was not very proud of my 2 year old skateboarding shoes anymore. we looked at the paintings and waited to see a tray of champagne but the waiters were very elusive. this is where i met alex for the second time. he was wearing shorts and a button shirt. rad! he didn't seem to care. we left swiftly and there's not much else to say pertaining to this story or to alex, but i dig this video a lot.
