New York City playboy and FRICTION contributor/photographer, Pat, recently came back from a trip to Africa. While he was there the crazy fool decided it would be a good idea to climb to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro. Luckily, he made it and is back at home in Queens in one piece. [...]
I’m enjoying my last day in California in sunny Playa Del Rey (pictured). Heard that it’s cold as fuck on the East Coast and I’m not looking forward to coming back. The weather out here has been absolutely gorgeous. See you soon Philly.

THANK YOU so much Ray for reminding me about today, I totally erm…spaced. Anyway, it seems a bit crazy, but I am indeed finally going to see My Bloody Valentine on July 3rd in Glasgow at The Barrowland Ballroom. The London tickets are selling like hotcakes, but it’s the weekend of POPPED! anyway [...]

Yeah, I know, I know, three days late on this and in the blog world, three days might as well be three weeks. I actually just got back this morning around 3am and didn’t really have a chance to think about and reflect on what made this year’s Pitchfork Music Festival so much fun [...]

Crackers united for a trip to Lake Wallenpaupack in northeast Pennsylvania last weekend. Cracker antics ensued as we invaded the quiet and lush forests of the Poconos for a second time. It was a gorgeous weekend as we fled our respective cities and soaked up some summer [...]
Just got back from a week-long trip to Portland Oregon, including a jaunt to Mt. Hood and the historic Timberline Lodge. I love this City, not only because they have a great music scene, but because of the creative energy happening here. So much art and culture for such a small town. Also, Portland is [...]
crackerCAM was on location in new zealand and french polynesia in early december. this cracker spent almost three weeks touring middle earth where i hiked along snow capped peaks, feasted on pb&j lunches, and nearly drowned in a river. won’t lie, it was a great time. the icing was a four day [...]
Growing up in suburbia, I always found it odd that my friend Chris’ house was exactly the same floor plan as David’s (which was great when you needed to find the bathroom) -
This low-income housing project in Ixtapaluca, Mexico City has certainly taken that to the next extreme.
Imagine having a few beers at the [...]
Sure, hotel food tastes like paper, the towels smell like dry dog food, and darn cleaning lady always knocks on your door at 6 in the morning (which is OK, because the phone starts ringing at 4 in the morning) - but who ever said business travel always had to suck?!
With a few days out [...]
crackerCAM was recently on scene in las vegas for our founder’s 21st birthday. the crackers rolled deep in blazers and triad tattoos as they strutted down the strip in search for $5 blackjack tables, stripper trading cards, and teenage cuties that had accidentally strayed from their families. days were generally reserved for relaxing by the [...]
Today, especially in the Northeast where cars last as long as fashion trends, you don’t see many older cars around. Out West, you can still find mint rides from the 60s and 70s with original paint since the weather is fair and they don’t have to use salt.
I was just thinking about all those [...]
crackerCAM was on location in austin, tx for the three day austin city limits music festival . shit was the bomb! sure temperatures exceeded 105 and the occasional dust cloud made breathing painful, but where else can you have the sounds and energy of coldplay, bloc party, and arcade fire race through your body while [...]
Mr. Manners and other CU members will be heading out of town this weekend for a final beach extravaganza. Since I’m one of the few who has a car in this metropolis, I feel it would be fitting to talk about some rules of the road…road trip rules that is:
• Shotgun can be called [...]
