Santogold Live @ SXSW 2012!

Les Artistes I’ve heard this song countless times on the radio but had no idea who the artist was, would not have even been at the show had it not been for running to old friends. One of the girls had managed to snag an extra wristband and was gracious …

Compilation Video: Wakarusa Music Festival 2010

Leaving Texas, we cut through Oklahoma on our way to Ozark, Arkansas, a sleepy little town with a population of around 3,000 that really only comes alive once a year, for the 3-4 days of Wakarusa Music Festival. Still riding the high from our time at Burning Flipside, only three …

Effigy Burn @ Burning Flipside 2011

Ever heard of Burning Flipside? It is a week-long event that takes place in central Texas every year during Memorial Day week / weekend. It is pretty much like a miniature Burning Man, for those of you who have been there. But, there are several key differences: Most notably, our …

Garden Of The Gods, Colorado

To help myself forget this girl I had just stopped seeing, I decided to take a spontaneous road trip. One of the places I stopped along the way was Colorado Springs. There I stumbled upon the Garden Of The Gods and, a few days later, Pike’s Peak.

Tough Man Shots! Nashville, TN

Arriving in Nashville, Tennessee, we actually had a family waiting to take us in. Max’s godparents live on a large piece of property off 12th avenue, just south of downtown. They have not one but two houses on the lot, with the second one being off-set behind the first and …

Costa Rica Time Lapse Video

Just got the Adobe Master Suite 5.5 Collection, woo-hoo! And this is the first video I popped out real fast. Only took about an hour or so, and it’s nothing fancy, but it is definitely the first ever thing I have done with premier. So I like it. And I …

Firedancer Short @ Burning Flipside 2KX

Central Texas is home to, well, many things, but one of the most unknown (at least among the mainstream public) is the yearly Burning Flipside, the biggest burner regional in the world. Actually, I personally prefer it to Burning Man, although not everyone will agree with me on that. Anyway, …

Cacique Guaro… [shudder]

Guaro is a sugarcane-distilled liquor that is produced in parts of Central America. Derek was drinking a lot of the Cacique Guaro while we were backpacking through Costa Rica… It’s rough stuff. As the locals say, “it tastes pretty shitty by itself, but if you mix it with something, it …

Taste Testing Rambutan In Costa Rica

Rambutan, also known as “mamón chino” in Costa Rica (“Chinese sucker”), are small grape-like fruits with soft yet spiky skin and some sort of nut in the center. We randomly decided to film our reaction to the new fruit, and it was a good thing we did hahaha. This video …

Catarata Del Rio Fortuna (2)

While in La Fortuna, Costa Rica, locals tipped us off about a hidden waterfall and secret swimming hole with a rope swing, so of course we had to go and check it out for ourselves. For more information on Costa Rica check out the following articles: Exploring The Venado Caves …

Venado Caves, Alajuela Province, Costa Rica

Just after first entering into the caves our tour guide made some crazy wild animal sounds and scared the hell out of our friend, Kim. You might have to play it a second time and listen closely to hear the strange noise the guide was making. For more information on …

Tortuga Island, Costa Rica

While in Costa Rica our friend Jen was supposed to join us. Unfortunately, she got sick in Guatemala and couldn’t make it (or that is the story at least). Regardless, to make up for it she bought Jared and I cruise tickets out to Tortuga Island. We left out of …

Welcome To The HoliDaze Video Gallery!

So this is the HoliDaze Video Gallery… Or will be very soon. But I figured what better way to start it off than with our most popular YouTube video thus far (that is not saying much, I just began uploading videos a couple weeks ago). Regardless, here it is, the …
