Mikey Mota

If you’ve been paying attention to the painted armed folks over at YoYoFactory you may have heard of Mikey Mota. He’s the guy behind all of the artwork and ink these cats have been getting. Well not only is Mikey a talented tattoo artist he is also a pretty darn good yoyoer for how long

Music Thursday – The RAA

It’s snowing. The mountains are covered. Ski hills are opening. Avalanches will be falling (tomorrow). So I figure this song by the Rural Alberta Advantage would be fitting, since I don’t know of any songs about sliding snow. This song is about Frank’s Slide which was a landslide that came off the side of a

Accordions!

After Pat’s we walked to catch our MegaBus. On the way we happened upon an accordion store. Now, Abe loves accordions, and he’s pretty smitten by girls who play them. So this was his dream. Footage was filmed outside a Philadelphia meat market, and a REALLY old street in Boston.

Philly Cheese Steaks

This tour has been just as much about the food as it has about the yo-yoing. While in Philadelphia we couldn’t pass up the chance to get a REAL Philly Cheese Steak. If you are unfamiliar with the battle between Pat’s and Geno’s for the “best” Philly Cheese Steak, let me tell you, EVERYONE has

Chicago! You’re our kind of Town!

Chicago is always a great time. Last time we visited, Abe and I ended up at Lupe Fiasco’s VIP album release party, but that’s a story for another day. Instead, we ended up at this huge, metal bean. It’s pretty neat, and great for giving yourself a High 5. Simpson Wong would LOVE this place!

A Day in the Life of Abe: Tour Edition

Life on the road can get a bit tedious at times. But if you’re traveling with Abe, there is never a dull moment. Usually our trips involve a lot of random rest areas, crusty truck stops and all night hauls. But this time, thanks to Mega Bus, we are traveling in style. Besides Abe smuggling
