Beijing
Took my first trip to Beijing, China. Incredible. We made stops at the Ming Tombs, Great Wall, Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, Summer Palace, and the 2008 Olympic grounds. It was crazy walking through all these places that I’ve seen in old Chinese movies. Also the fact that these ancient historical places are embedded within China’s modern world. It was a great experience and I definitely plan on going back again some day.
Switchfoot/Bro-Am
We are SO excited!!! For the last 5 years, Switchfoot has been putting together an event called Bro-Am. This year is no different except that we are going to be a part of it! The all day event consists of a surf contest, vendor booths, a Switchfoot concert and about 5000-6000 people coming out to support and have a great time. This event is to raise money for an organization called StandUp For Kids which is a national nonprofit volunteer outreach organization dedicated to making a difference in the lives of at-risk, homeless, and street kids.
The event will be held on June 26, 2010 on the Moonlight Beach of Encinitas, CA.
So please come out and support, and stop by our booth to say “hi”!

Postcarden
Postcarden? Half postcard, half garden. Awesome. When I first came across these, I found out they are a company based in London and that buying one would be difficult because of seeds having to go through customs. Just recently they were added to a store called Brooklyn5and10 and they sell for $12.95. They have 3 designs: Botanical Garden, Green City, and Backyard Garden.
I’ve been in contact with Brooklyn5and10, so stay tuned for a chance to win one!
