Oklahoma City Memorial & Museum
I’m sitting in my RV right now about to head for bed. As you might know, I’m on sort of a personal tour. I’m traveling around the US seeing friends & visiting places. Today i spent a few hours at the Oklahoma City Bombing Memorial and I can say I felt something. I think it would be hard to step foot inside the 3 story step-by-step break down of what tragedy took place on...
BEN FEST BEGINS ( BEN AROUND THE WORLD)
A few days ago I woke up and decided to hit the road. I jumped into my 31 foot RV which is called THE SPIRIT, and left my loft in Los Angeles CA. I’m not sure where I’m heading, not sure for how long, I’m not even sure what ill do along the way. The one thing i do know is, this will be an adventure.
I have made friends all over the country from the various tours i’ve been...

a real vacation
i just spent 1 full week of vacation in the wilderness of oregon. it was everything a hollywood blockbuster would make it out to be. i stayed in my cabin (at night the doors were wide open to let in the clean air and moon light.) i woke early most mornings kayaked the river just behind my cabin and heard nothing but my paddle digging deep into the water. after breakfast i cruised my bike on the...

bamboozle east coast
i left los angeles ca in a van full of my clothing line headed for bamboozle east coast in new jersey. the difference between this year and the past few, i drove this 2500 mile one way trip alone. a road warrior (tour maniac) could do it in about 4 days, i took 7. i stopped when i saw a sign that said “mom’s cafe worlds best breakfast”, worlds largest, worlds smallest, pretty...

im sure alot of you have always wanted to get a tattoo at a music fest. you are there to hear good music and have a great time so why not get some ink. maybe your favorite band, some lyrics, the bamboozle logo or better yet a hooligun tattoo. whatever you decide on you can get it bamboozle weekend from a fellow hooligun. my friend josh will be coming from denver (where he has tattooed for over...

james watts and myself decided to grab some sushi on a surf trip to oceanside ca. rarely do i back down from a challenge and that ‘all-you-can-eat’ sushi sign was just begging me to take it down. watch as we try to eat $200 worth of sushi.
i went to denver to visit josh wrede to get my other armpit tattooed. he did mickey mouse in my left pit a few months ago so it was now time for minnie mouse in my right. if you are ever in denver make sure you get some work by josh. by far the top artist in the area. (bound by design tattoo shop)
i flew to denver this week to see friends, get tattooed, go to a sleeping show, and freeze! here is part of my wednesday night.
just talked to the wonderful guys at bamboozle. everything is confirmed over there for six barrel hooliguns to have a double booth at both west coast bamboozle in anaheim at angels stadium and east coast bamboozle. i can not wait. this is by far my favorite tour/fest of them all.
PS in this video i said “im exicted for west with drake” but i meant east!! and the wale song is called...

as simple as a donut
this morning at 400am i woke to my alarm. not something i do on a regular basis. i have a career that allows me to wake when i want so i rarely start my day to the piecing sound of beeps.
headed to the airport I’m flying back home to los angeles after a few weeks away on thanksgiving vacation. i absolutely hate booking flights anytime before 11am but for some reason the 645am was $80 and...
