Super Kawaii Hangs | Out of Towners

The best part of Formula Drift is having out of town people come to visit. Every year I seemed to be hanging out with people from the north either Seattle or The Bay. This year the Super Kawaii crew came down to hang and get fat with us.

The bridge between both crews.

Finally grew up and got some real wheels.

Gram lights tucking.

The first place I took them was 4th street market, but first let me take a carelfie(car selfie) because I got some prime parking in front.

Stoner fries from Dos Chinos.

Everyone digging into their food.

Hayle trying to snap everything.

My god..

Everything came with an egg on top.

Food buddies. Ended the night with some ice cream and basketball, no photos because I forgot my camera.

The next morning, Hayle hit me up to eat because she was hungry and she knows that I’m always hungry. She brought out the new bae to go eat with us.

We went to Anepalco cafe which has the best Mexican breakfast. Pictured here is the chipotle crepe with a nice cheese potato soup.

Hayle got the Chilaquiles with pork which I didn’t know you could add meat to this dish.

Delicious..

Paying for it is cool too. I don’t mind putting my card in this pink box.

Next we went to Chunk N Chip for some ice cream sandwiches. I got red velvet cookies and white chocolate ice cream. I really loved the colors this sandwich was giving me, so i couldn’t stop taking photos of it.

Later in the day, I helped out Marq with some product photo shoots. No photos of that but here’s Marq’s M3 which he is trying to sell.

We had shabu afterwards at Shabu Shabu bar.

I’m not sure why I even go to shabu places, I never get full for some reason.

Anyways we got new lanyards! Get em here..

Washington Part Three | RO Explore

Another morning, another adventure, this time we were going to explore the nature side of Washington and get in touch with the beauty of mother nature. We wanted to check out the ice caves today and go for a small hike.

So many greens.

Shooting some HOODRATstuff promotion.

Fancy metal bridge.

These natural sun flares were so awesome. I couldn’t stop taking photos.

AW Films brought out his gear to film our hike.

We finally arrived at the ice caves and we were in shock and awe of how huge this cave was.

This little kid wanted to go inside the caves so bad, but his mom didn’t let him. Apparently some one died here a week before when the ice came loose and hit him in the head.

Clinton holding onto his head.

After getting some cool photos (pun intended), I got out of there asap.

The walk back was surprisingly fast and with the sun coming down more, it was less harsh for photos.

Abbitt is crazy.

Met up with Henderson and he took us to Alki to try Marination Makai. They had lots of interesting food like this kimchi fried rice with pork. It was delicious.

Spam and kalua sliders.

Vinh and Clinton’s large order.

Nice ocean view from Alki beach.

Missing you comes in waves, tonight I’m drowning.

Mellow beach.

Clean NSX in front of a nice house near Alki.

Yoshi is pretty down to drift anywhere.

Fainting Goat, a spot that was recommended by @fortheloveoficecream.

Interesting flavors and everything was super creamy. This place made it up for yesterday’s disappointments.

Hendercupping.

More sunset views.

“I once did gay porn”

The next morning, we met up with Vickie and Long to check out Pike Public Market. Lots of energy going on in this market for how early it was.

Find us at the gum wall.

So much bacteria in one spot.

Shout out to Vickie for these tasty macaroons.

Macaroon porn.

Finally got to try some Seattle’s best seafood and it did not disappoint! This is the seafood bisque and the captain’s roll.

Long enjoying his sea food bisque and Vickie is on a diet.

Next spot would be Bleecher’s cheese shop.

Vickie ready to give some food to the needy.

Delicious mac and cheese, too bad I was full from eating all of that seafood bisque.

The first Starbucks and it was too crowded to order anything.

A visit to the friendly neighborhood troll.

Gelatiamo would be the last dessert shop we visited, also very delicious. Water based too, so I didn’t get the shits afterwards.

Thank you to everyone from Super Kawaii for the hospitality especially Justin, Vickie and Long! Also a big thanks to Henderson for driving us to cool food spots and to see amazing sun sets. Yoshi aka Mike for keeping us company and always having a car there to shoot. We’ll see you guys in April!!

Washington Part Two | RO Explore

Waking up to the cold brisk air of Washington was something unfamiliar. The air was so crisp and I woke up freezing my ass of because I didn’t know there were extra blankets under my bed. Besides the near hypothermia incident, today was going to be a day filled with exploring the city and stopping by some local shops.

Felt good to walk outside to a natural setting with trees giving us that fresh air.

Thank you to Rick Wilkerson for cooking us some bomb french toast croissants! A look inside the Wilkerson’s residence.

Yoshi met us up early to go get some coffee at Garage Autohero.

Posted outside of the Wilkerson’s home was pretty surreal. We always saw photos of Abbitt’s Subarus posted up in front of this wooden home, but never really thought we would ever be here. Life’s a trip.

Having trees that surround your house is pretty awesome.

On the way to Garage Autohero.

Garage Auto Hero had so many projects going on, it must be difficult to keep track of it all.

So many cool things going on in this shop.

Ray makes the best coffee in the area.

Baeton enjoying his coffee. Thanks Ray!

What the Milpitas boys have been wanting to do the whole trip was to visit a recreational clinic, so we stopped by the local Kush Mart. I didn’t bring my camera in because I wasn’t sure what the rules were, but it was like going into buy some alcohol or candy.

Met up with the locals at Skillet for some breakfast. They’re known for their grilled cheese with bacon jam and chicken. The poutine fries here are bomb as well.
