HIGHWAY CHILE – THE RIDE: HUMBOLDT HOMIES

Ever randomly run into a group of…

…rad cats that are as dynamic, gnarly, and talented as the dudes you’ve seen in movies about surf skate and party subcultures? Believe me they do exist in reality, you’re just going about it all wrong. While dealing with fraudulent bank activity and waiting on mail in Humboldt County, the boys at Humboldt Skate Lab took me in and made me a creature of their own. Everything included, from sleeping on beaches next to bonfires with Tanner, consuming bountiful blunts and brews, skating a custom mobile wood skatepark in Brads backyard, mobbin to skate spot after spot, and chillen at the shop; I’d be lying if I didn’t say it was the most wicked of times. And they do this shit daily! If you’re ever in the area, skate and hate scooter kids, you’ll fit right into this family! So do yourself the biggest favor and stop by Humboldt Skate Lab for some proper gear and merch. Don’t get hassled by neighboring skate shops, trust me, these boys are IT! And fuck AMPT skate shop in Arcata, you dicks might as well be on scooters snaking people in the bowl left and right – go home and stay there!

Highway Chile – People Passed: The Duder

By | ALL CONTENT, COMMUNITY, CREATURES, CULTURE, HIGHWAY CHILE, JOURNALISM, MYCST PRODUCTIONS, PHOTOGRAPHY, TRAVEL

HIGHWAY CHILE – PEOPLE PASSED: THE DUDER

Early this morning at Clam Beach Campground I woke up to some dude pulling up in his van, solar panel and sun dial equipped. He then proceeded to hang out, eat and talk with his local buddies… mind I slept beside the bike in the parking lot, he’s not out of place in this situation – I am. But pure stoke; this guy’s name is actually Dude. He continued to explain to me his routine of retreating to the beach to enjoy some peace, serenity and lovely scenery on his days off. He holds a job at the local thrift store helping the owners sort through donated goods, recently he’s found a few signed first edition books worth hundreds – he is a great benefit to the store owners whom he’s arranged sleeping situations with. During these pleasant off days Dude retires to the sandy dunes of Clam Beach and does his true work. Of which includes poetry, spoken word, and macro photography using his home made lens which can be equipped to his cell phone camera. Dude is The Duder. He’s wise in his own ways and exceeds at what he does. He could teach you a thing or two about life. Drop out and get experienced – your book smarts won’t get you that far out here in the waking life.

Highway Chile – The Ride: Forest Gypsies

HIGHWAY CHILE – THE RIDE: FOREST GYPSIES

Straight out of the blue, while in some random campground…

…within Jackson State Forest, I ran into a guild of gypsies making their way down from the recent rainbow gathering in Oregon; a festival filled with all sorts of varying creatures and just about every drug under the sun, someone might have mentioned music… but you’re not going for that reason, I know.

From giant jars of potent flowers, fire spinning , to hula hoops, and enough of everyone’s best friend Lucy to supply a family, these cats had all the goodies for the carnival. More accurately they ran into me; as the only two groups in the campsite, them arriving only minutes after me, I invited them over to my site by the creek in efforts to share the good times and make some crazy memories.

The guild: Amber, Rabbit, Hatter, Nacho, and their doggy have managed to spange, trade, and voyage across the country in a magical Subaru from Maine. Along the way they have been “using their magic, aggressively, to spread peace and positivity” to those they encounter. We traded a few items, exchanged knowledge and they sent me off with gifts of protection as well as positive vibes.

HIGHWAY CHILE – THE RIDE: PSYCHEDELIC STIMULI

Riding groovy frequencies through Santa Cruz with Creatures Choir! Venue at…

READ MORE

…the Catalyst was mellow but the jams were ever so heavy; as expected, these boys get down to a unique sound. Plus, they do it well. The bandmates consist of Rory taking lead, Eli rippin’ the harp, Hank using his magic fingers to serenade a shiny 12 string, Adam slapping the bass, Brad slamming the drums and Nate providing the rhythm to keep it always extra groovy.

Mad Alchemy Liquid Light Show – https://www.madalchemy.net/ kept the set visually entertaining with a constantly moving and ever persistent hallucinogenic background. You can be sober, they induce a visual trip for you! All done by a few magic fingers spinning glass discs filled with watercolor on overhead projectors. Ya like the ones that hag of a teacher used to use in your 5th grade math class. Only these folks found a much better use for such resources. Spin on magic fingers, keep spinning… everyone’s got magic fingers here. Ladies beware.

After the show, the last one of the tour, the boys and I headed to Cory’s house for some late night celebrations and shenanigans with the band. Antics included writing on the walls, drinking till we fall, and smokin’ till… well we never choke! Best you know we did it all, and we did it well, for the memories. Finally at roughly 4am everyone passed out so naturally Eli and I, in spirit of the great whimsical Easy Rider, bolted out to the driveway to lie down on some comfy asphalt aside the Harley. Threw the wool blanket over, and lights out Santa Cruz! Sweet dreams under pine trees.

Highway Chile – The Ride: Burning SLO

By | ALL CONTENT, CREATURES, HIGHWAY CHILE, MYCST PRODUCTIONS, TRAVEL

HIGHWAY CHILE – THE RIDE: BURNING SLO

Trippers, transients, costumes and more. Pre burning man party at ‘Bang The Drum Brewery’ was pleasantly wild. Tyson was on the stage rippin his violin alongside some psychedelic instrumentals, withdrawing everyone’s ears to a far out trip in electronic paradise. The boys and I managed to get our road sodas taken at the door as well as inside the venue roughly four or five times; thanks bitchy lady behind the bar who turned out to be alright after all. After the antics ran their course the fellas, and the lady fellas, made headway for home. Back at the house a blur induced by substance(s) overwhelmed the scene leaving everyone feeling giddy and at ease; we were in our safe place. Letting loose and letting go, cruising through the midnight vibes. High times for Highway Chile.

Highway Chile – The Ride: Into the Mystic

HIGHWAY CHILE – THE RIDE: INTO THE MYSTIC

Upon leaving Boylan’s shop, the boys sent me off with a pull of our good ol’ friend Jimmy Bean. Easy Rider, only were doin’ it right this time. It’s late… 9pm or so, dark, but I’m still heading out to SLO to rendezvous with Andrew, Mariah and Dylan. I’ll get there at 3:30am roughly and piss off all the neighbors on the way in, sorry folks. Not sorry. Midnight rider, off into the void, gone like dust in the wind. Stay breezy Huntington. Sunset, stay small. I’ll see ya on the other side of this wild ride.

Highway Chile – The Ride: Sleeping Like a Dog

By | ALL CONTENT, CREATURES, HIGHWAY CHILE, JOURNALISM, MYCST PRODUCTIONS, PHOTOGRAPHY, RAW, TRAVEL

HIGHWAY CHILE – THE RIDE: SLEEPING LIKE A DOG

It’s the second night I’ve slept on Sonny’s porch, outside, with Phoenix the pit bull Labrador mix. She’s my new pal visa-versa. It amuses me how when I’m here she refuses to go inside – were a couple dirty dogs, why would we want to do such a thing after all. I sometimes feel lonely with everyone inside coupled up and bubbled in from the elements. But hell, although at times I feel this way I am satisfied to know that I will always wake with myself, the sun included. That for me is enough to smile, the love for myself keeps me going while the road guides my way. Here I come N.A.
