Boca vs. Godoy Cruz

Well I finally made it to La Bombanera, Buenos Aires' famed stadium that houses CABJ (Club Atletico Boca Juniors) to watch a game on a beautiful, nearly-spring, day. Added bonus was that before the game, Argentina's very own Juan Martin del Potro (0:39) came out on the field to a standing ovation and chanting of "SALE CAMPEON!! SALE CAMPEON!!"

Arpoador Skate Park, Rio

Felipe Motta and Marcelo Ment (tags: Mottilaa and Ment) recently got commissioned by Converse shoes to repaint the famous skatepark on top of Arpoador rock that separates Ipanema from Copacabana beach. Ment was one of the artists I worked with when I was in Rio, he is a GENIUS! This skatepark is amazing, check out Mottillaa's blog. Cheers!

Argentina v. Brasil

Vamos Argentina!!!! Today is the Argentina vs. Brazil World Cup qualifier in Rosario. If Argentina doesn't win, they probably will not make it to the World Cup, unless one or more of the other teams playing today too get upset. Big deal, because not making it to the World Cup is unacceptable. VAMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOS!

A Journey on Rio's Craaaazy Buses

Take a ride on Rio's crazy crazy crazy buses. The bus drivers seem to be the only Brazilians to ever be in a hurry, I swear!
