If I remember right this was a pretty good movie set in Cuba. "For Love or Country: The Arturo Sandoval Story". It stars Andy Garcia about a musician trying to escape Castro's Cuba.

I bought a pair of White's Semi Dress with an added toe cap about a year and a half or two years ago. LOVE THEM! Worth every penny. I wear them every day and they are the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. I polish them every couple of months and they look like new again. I look forward to...

Thanks all. Taking your directions with me. Appreciate it!

Ha! Yeah it does seem to make one a bit top heavy. Think I might just use it to cook eggs in like Van Johnson in "Battleground".

This is the coolest "hat" I've added to my collection in quite a while. Just got in from a big militaria show in Pomona CA. Excuse the quality of the pics they were taken with my lap top. This is a late war (WWII) swivel bale "Steel Pot" American helmet with a Korean war era liner. I've...

Thanks man I appreciate it. J

Okay so I'm taking a trip dan unda in June. Will be in Melbourne and Brisbane. Want to buy an Akubra while there. Best place to get it? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

"The Aesthetic of Attitude" Hey gang. Here is a new one I did for the annual California Screamin' show at Gasoline Gallery in El Segundo California. I'm particularly happy with this piece. It is oil on canvas, 16 x 20. I just finished it so it isnt in a frame yet. In fact the paint is...

Thanks guys.

Whites Semi Dress Well after years of coveting from afar I finally pulled the trigger on these Whites Semi Dress. I had them add a toe cap. Personal preference for style. I'm really diggin' them! Bought them from a little place down here in San Diego (Actually the place is in El Cajon)...

Any updates on the AWOL bag? I have read some reports that say the leather isnt as nice as the picture indicates. I need a bag for a trip to Australia in June. Want something kind of vintage looking. Thanks in advance.

Here is my wife's Western Flyer we have been working on. We've cleaned it up and got it on the road. Not going to repaint or chrome anything. We like a little patina on it. Now we just need to find some fenders for it and maybe a new rack for the back because it is missing the part in the middle.

I'm going to Australia this summer and would love to buy an Akubra Campdraft while there. Anyone have any recommendations where to get one in either Brisbane or Melbourne? Thanks in advance.
