Hank rules my world, let him rule yours.
Be sure to check out The Amazingly Ghetto HANKfilm Photo Gallery!
The gallery currently features photos from a secret show with Band of Horses at The Roxy, a couple Matt Pond PA shows and my recent trip to Hong Kong, China and Taiwan.
Peace.

Over 200 years ago, on the ancient Isle of Skye and in the Scottish Highlands, the ancestors of today’s Cairn Terrier earned their keep routing vermin from the rock piles (called cairns) commonly found on Scottish farmland. These early terriers were highly prized and bred for their working ability, not appearance. Such characteristics as courage, tenacity and intelligence, housed in a sturdy body clad in a weather-proof coat, armed with big teeth in strong jaws, were sought generation after generation. Gradually the breeds known as the Scottish Terrier and the West Highland White evolved and were named.
The Cairn (the last to be formally named) remained the closest to the original small working terrier, bolting the fox, otter and weasel, sharing the meager fare of the crofter’s household.
Today the Cairn Terrier in America is a sensible, confident little dog, independent but friendly with everyone he meets. He may be found in an apartment, suburban home, or on a farm. Alert, intelligent and long-lived, the Cairn tends to remain active and playful well into his teen years, endearing him to children. True to his heritage, the breed still has very large teeth, large feet with thick pads and strong nails (the better to dig with!), strong, muscular shoulders and rears, and a fearless tenacity that will lead him into trouble if his owners are irresponsible.

This was by far one of the most fun films I have ever been a part of and really the first major surf film I was a part of. I remember one time when Parko and Rasta were staying with us in Encinitas and they got robbed at gunpoint right behind Jamie’s house at the 7/11 on D Street. Sorta random thought there. Wow. Hard to believe that was 10 years ago… Time flies and good times they were indeed. Hahah. Now I’m ‘That Guy’ remembering way back when…
