International Surfing Day and first major press for Surfing the Middle East

Today was International Surf Day. I woke up in Santa Barbara, CA, at 4:00AM, and drove down to Santa Monica to the Surfrider beach clean up that you can read about here. I then made my way across LA--along the 405 freeway--to the Surfrider studio where I did an interview and had the chance to plug my book. And, of course, the Surfrider's annual campaign drive for new members. I'm working to get that interview now . . . and it'll be up on YouTube (and this blog) in a few days. Thanks everyone again for the good times and the first major event for Surfing the Middle East! Book available here.

Make up!

A friend comments on the Surfing the Middle East Facebook fan page:  

"That poor, unsuspecting soul on the other end of the line... He just wants to donate some hard-earned cash, not discuss the tenets of National Socialism at length." Clearly, a Big Lebowski reference.

 

 Great girls . . . I'm in love

Never taken off makeup before (and I guess I've never put it on either)
 so, this is how you do it, right?

The interview will come in a few days! Stand by.
