fresh snakehead caviar

Ben Sargent and I went to a snakehead fishing derby down in the south of Maryland last month. We were severely underprepared, but there were more than 1400 pounds of snakehead caught over the weekend tournament, not a single ounce of which was caught by us. I'm currently working on a writing project about snakeheads, which may or may not lead to a bigger project. Many of the fish were donated to a company called ProFish, and that's John Rorapaugh of Profish in the third picture. Steve Vilnit of the Maryland DNR was fileting some fish for Ben when he found a pregnant fish and treated us to some fresh caviar. I was apprehensive at first, but since Ben has the Hook, Line & Dinner tv show, he must be open to eating anything fish. After he, Steve, and John tried it I knew I had to also. It was surprisingly light and neutral tasting—not fishy at all. Might be good lightly fried with some soy sauce.

dude, same shirts

philly!

auburn

this is mischa at auburn skatepark back in 2002 or so. it's hard to believe this was so long ago when i was living in sacramento with pat. we would always be drinking and driving. i don't think i can match how much pat and i used to drink, not even the mission records days, though they come pretty close. anywhere we went, it didn't matter how close or far, we would always hit the liquor store first. we always had a six pack in the car when we went to skate. it was pretty awesome, though reckless.

mischa came to nyc to visit a couple weeks ago. i haven't seen him probably since 2004 or maybe 2003. he's such a rad dude. i must have met him when he was 16 or so, right around when this picture was taken. now he does tattoos in the grass valley area. he works a lot in the tattoo americana with a good dose of humor. sounds about right knowing him. check out his work here.

boat party

my friend anthony organized an "Arrested Development"-themed party aboard a yacht in the delaware river. i remember it was on on the dance floor. they played that song by the outfield.
