Hobby
I believe that everyone needs some sort of creative outlet. Something to keep the mind from being stagnant. My hobbies are photography and videography. Now I may not be the best at these things, but learning and trying to improve on them is what’s important. This is a video I helped film and edit for my sister’s blog iartu. Check her blog out, and you could win one of these Flying Wish Paper kits!

TIMEX & YOU
This is brilliant. I’ve been seeing a lot more companies going the route of you having a say in the colors/styles you want in their products. Puma & Keds have been on it for a while and now seeing TIMEX getting in on it stokes me out. Make your own HERE
This is the one I made:
Stumptown
Portland’s Stumptown Coffee has just issued these sweet jars with a special blend called “Hair Bender”. The blend consists of beans from Latin America, East Africa and Indonesia. The flavors sound amazing as well : Caramel, milk chocolate, sweet citrus and soft floral notes. UM…Yes please! Buy it while its around HERE
Apparently Stumptown has an Grand Cru blend too! Holla! We should do a collab for sure. If you want to try this flavor out get it HERE
THE YOUNG VEINS
If you like The Kinks & The Zombies, then you’ll most likely be into the newly formed The Young Veins. This is my current favorite of theirs “change” captured live. Some vintage guitar sounds, tight 3 part harmonies, and nice change ups. Have a listen and get to know em more HERE
BRO-AM
This past Saturday Le Grand Cru participated in its first public event. Bro-Am has been going for 6 yrs strong and has partnered with several groups to be active in reaching the needs of homeless youth through an organization called StandUp For Kids. What an incredible event for us to be involved in.
Switchfoot headlined a great line up that included OK GO, The Almost, Young The Giant, and others. There was also a surf competition which included surfers Rob Machado, Tom Curren, and Timmy Curran, and members of Switchfoot. I got a wicked burn, my Seattle skin isn’t used to the Cali sun!
We met amazing people who came to hang & people who were from other brands/outreaches. It was awesome seeing this many people come together to make a difference in this community.
Thanks to everyone who stopped by to say hi and to getting to know what Le Grand Cru is all about. We had some incredible help throughout the day, from the early morning setup, helping out at the table, passing out our flyer/stickers, and take down. Thanks for being part of our CRU, couldn’t have done it without ya’ll! We’ll definitely be back next year!
Leigh Miller
I’ve driven past these countless wind fans several times. I’ve always wanted to stop by and take some snaps. Jus found these by Leigh Miller. I love seeing the scenery with the engaged couple blending in and around it. See more of her work HERE
