prelude to EPIC adventure: Scene I

The team assembeled in Los Angeles, California last week to work on character development and motivation for Scene I. During this EPIC 2-4 day period of serious group introspection we accomplished the following things (not necessarily in chronological order):

-Bought a 1991 Toyota 4Runner with 175,000 miles from Oscar.
-Bought 4 pairs of 40s at a Kwik-e-Mart in Compton, LA.
-Walked a lot
-Drove around a lot
-Ate fried chicken at the Soul Food Express with 40s at hand.
-Ran through an enormous fountain ending with very disappointed security guard.
-Watched Point Break and talked about it a lot.
-Watched Eagle vs. Shark and multiple episodes of FOTC... Movie was EPIC.
-Drank Beer, ate cookies and watched EPIC surfing with the Rad owners of Bird Rock Surf Shop in La Jolla.
-Chilled with amazing hosts who added witty conversation and pancackes/pizza beer.

The first night the team headed to hipster headquarters to destroy some LA nonchalance with over-the-top white/yellow boy Krumpin... Here's a little taste of a mid-song power pose...



The next days the crew undertook the tiresome task of procuring props and materials for Scene I. We bought some new off-road tires to add some EPICness to the ride which at this point has been deemed "Doug". There was some neat street art next to the tire joint...



Continuing with the progression of the plot the team headed to San Diego for futher inspiration. In between the hours of intense round-robbin monologue battles the crew did some martial arts training (foreshawdoing for potential DOOM/love vs. Mexican bandito death matches). Here a snippit of an EPIC karate kick... i promise you we did not photoshop this... Brendan is just that raw.



Sometime during the endless brainstorming a new theme was developed. It's basically a charitable champaign involving Brendan flexing. He titled it Flex Across America - Changing Lives One Flex at a Time.


"Bro that picture is EPIC... I look pretty ripped."

While most of the team retired to some reading Jim continued his training with some EPIC off the wall back flips...



The final day was spent doing some "CHILL" body surfing and meditating on EPIC vibes for the journey. With most of the pre-trip details ironed out the crew is ready to head South... hopefully we didn't need starch.



Thanks to Katie, Tyler, Mo and Jeff for being amazing hosts. Stay tuned as the story unfolds.
