Triple Double- MONSTER OPENINGS!!

start off my post with a lil shooga tag by I4NI that I discovered on
11th & Harriosn by Lefties Tattoo Shop. Coincidence? I think not!

Although he looks sweet & innocent.. this is front man Tim Lynch for
local hardcore punk band Street Justice.
Check out their shyit @ Street Justice . Com

Still goin strong.. INNNNI

Benny Gold Store Opening

Thanks to Holy Stitch Small Business Club, Humble Beginnings got the skinny
on the new Benny Gold store opening in the Mission- up clothes and personal

if u look at the crowd here.. u see a pretty mix bag of followers
attending the new Benny Gold store opening. here u see Holy Stitch's
Founder & Kult Leader Jean Hackman, & Photographer Eric.

the overall scene was a lil crazy- mostly fashionista, street wear
type cats.. maybe free beer? i don't remember.. wasn't there 2 drink.

one of the coolest shirts i saw 4 this opening.. it says something about fighting
your fears 4 success.. i dunno i wanted 2 take a better picture.. but i was skared of
getting kaught! haha..

very cleanly designed & printed tees by Benny Gold himself..

row 2

Nice Event Poster.. I really like his paper plane concept!


Lots of cool decks with the paper airplane flying through  "REAL"

Can't wait till HITITHI has its own embroidered caps!

Here's some stuff by Huf..

Overall- The Opening was a funtastik experience, thanks 2 Mr. Hackman 4 the heads up and troop organizing, Humble Beginnings could not have covered this event w/o!


After the Benny Gold Show, & of course it just hadn't been enough, so Humble Beginnings & friends started off towards 1AM 4 the opening of the 123 Klan show taking place there. Along the way, I snapped a few photos of interesting stuff along the way.



Beautiful mural in the Mission.. with some sketchy lookin' cats
watching me photo them.. haha.. weirdos!

Probably everybody who has kicked it in the Mission has seen this..
something about it caught my eye though, I had 2 get me a photo

Then my homie Dan bumps into this pleasant young woman.. and I mean literally a few
blocks from aformenntioned statue.. I met Christ Guadalupe! Apparently
she does live tatts on Valencia.. time 4 Humble Beginnings 2 go into stalker mode!
