LEFAVOR’S FINAL ROUND OF SF SHIT.
26.06.07
“Well, I’m back to good ol Colorado (been about a week and a half now). But before I settle in, a few more tales must be told. First of all… SF is fucking dope. Straight up, I had an god damn blast out there. Definitely dealing with some post-vacaction trauma sydrome right now! (or something like that). During my last few days in the city.. I pretty much lurked and shopped. I picked up a really rad Mike Giant T and his Skullz Press Compendium book I’d been looking for, an irresistible Grotesk “Mike Tyson” hoodie and a framed Morning Breath print from Upper Playground. Yup, place is super fresh.. no mystery there. Down at Giant Robot I picked up a Mars 1 Observer (a B-day present for Todd), a Flores T (a belated B-day present for Alex). Most notably, I ran into a real cool cat named Ben who works there and had a good time rapping with him about art during my hour of looking through the dope ass shit they have in there. Over at Lower Hater I rapped with the owner, Corey, for a minute or so and he gave me some insight into the dope work he’s got in the shop. Aside from having that super big Doze piece outside, there is also great murals from Ferris Plock and Andrea Galvango, who is currently the showcased artist, and some great stencil work by the popular SF artist Romanowski. I picked up a pair of fresh earings there for my lady and I come to find out they are hand made and threaded from Alpaca wool from a real organic Alpaca farm! They were made by Bruaux, they make all sorts of really cool stuff. Couldn’t find much about them on the internet, but if you are in SF, go to Lower Hater and check it all out. Real cool shop they got there for sure. During another lap down Haight I ran into this super big AMAZE throwup. This wasn’t there the day before so it was super shocking to see. I was pretty stoked about it and immediately had to find out if it was illegal or not. I found out it was legal and supposedly is a teaser of sorts for a new RVCA shop moving in. It would be pretty hard to run this on the illegal tip, but regardless, it pretty fucking large and in charge. Other highlights were this sneaky Grey piece and some real nice work in the Stussy shop. My last night in SF was full of drinking and “stoopin” which was super fun. After many drinks, I set out on a little solo mission of wheatepasting. It was really fun to walk around really late in SF. It was peaceful and calm and I caught some epic views of the city just lurking around different neighborhoods. A good last night in town for sure! My last day consisted of even more “stoopin” with the family and even more burritos. Fuck, the burrittos there are so damn good, YUM! Anyway, I wasn’t exactly too convinced I wanted to leave and didn’t really take my upcoming plane departure very seriously. I totally missed my plane. Not even by a little bit, I wasn’t even close! I had to stay in hotel that night in San Bruno and at first it was a bummer, but it ended up being for the better because the trip back was during the daytime and it was clear skies all the way back to CO. I snapped some great airial photos from the plane and it was probably the most enjoyable planeride I’ve ever had. Well. that’s that. If you’ve never been to San Francisco before, I highly recomend that you do so. Cheers to Eric and Sarah (and baby Mica!) for having me and to a great city!” - Scot Lefavor
