So this summer was pretty fun... biking, painting, meeting new people, partying, working with KKC... and the list goes on... You know, i was thinking to myself about this past summer.. and its been a while since I have had this much fun... before the whole tazering incident, while I was still painting on a nightly basis was the last time I remember truly enjoying life.. and now I can say that I have met a lot of amazing people... to name a few..  Mike Hoyt, Amy Snyder, Sue Pohl, Jasmine, Magic, Alex, Danny, Ebony, and almost all of the staff at Kulture Klub Collaborative, and Youthlink, Project Offstreets...  They are truly amazing people, who I am very proud to be working for.... So here are a few pictures in chronological order depicting my summer events... (not all) Oh and if you get a chance, go give vinny a hug... one of the best friends I have ever had...

So we started the spring season by going to see VAMPIRE WEEKEND at Triple Rock.. it was pretty amazing... 

 

The spring time is when my work at KKC really picked up...  We took the youth out every tuesday and thursday...  here we spend an afternoon with the friendly folks at franconia sculpture park.... The food they cook is amazing!!!

 

So here is the man behind KKC currently....  The most patient, kind, genuine person you will ever meet!!! I could go on about mike but i am sure he wouldnt approve of such an ego boost.... a very humble man with many accomplishments...
