FINGERPRINTS & BERLIN

Hey guys! Long time no talk (or more like long time no posts!) sorry. We're trying, I swear.  

College has just been so exhausting, ya know? However, thats no excuse! We decided to go out on Saturday with our amazing friends Oscar and Yalitza. We left the house at noon! I know, amazing.  

We went to Fingerprints in the East Village Art District of Long Beach, CA. If any of you are in town YOU HAVE TO WALK IN THERE. It's a pretty rad record/book/art store. They have everything. Imagine the apartment section of Urban Outfitters (without the overly priced stuff.) Even better they're attached to a really nice bistro called Berlin. After walking around in awe through the record store we settled down inside the coffee shop to play a goofy game of Cards Against Humanity. It was pretty funny not to say the stupid stuff we came up with out loud. After that we walked around and since we all looked so stylish we shot a few clips of our outfits in an alley. (We have a thing for alleys) All together it was pretty normal day in the life of C&A 

Let us know if you like us sharing the cool places we end up in around Los Angeles

We love to hear from you.

INTRODUCTION

  Hello!! We've been in a hiatus for some time now but we're back. We decided that we wanted to keep making videos and writing blog posts. It almost feels like we are starting over. In a way we are but nothing is really changing, everything is just going to get a lot better (quality). We both feel this blog could grow into something that inspires others but even if it doesn't it honestly keeps our creative juices flowing and that's ultimately what we love. Anyway, for our comeback to the blogosphere we decided to make an Introduction video regarding who we are and what our goals with this platform is.

So if you've been around for some time or you're just joining us now...welcome! We are excited to make friends and read exciting, inspirational posts!

Watch! Leave comments, questions, opinions...anything is welcomed.

p.s. Did you notice our new layout?


   

SOAKING UP THE CULTURE

        Number six on our Bucket List is a trip via the Metro. Our destination was LA! We looked for the Foster the People mural, found The Last Book Store and got extremely lost. Watch to see how badly it went!


   

SUPPOSEDLY THE NIGHT IS STILL YOUNG

           As a reward for semi-surviving our college summer class we got the gang together for a night out.    We don't often go out on Friday nights but when we do we take five hours to get ready, drop soda in the car, and sing mediocre songs in the car at the top of our lungs. We experienced a few malfunctions before getting to our destination but we enjoyed every minute of it. We ate some good food and then went to our local gallery, Stay, to see the Good Karma exhibit. We don't want to tell you a lot about it because I think we're going to dedicate a post to it. Either way you can see the amazing work of Victor Koast in the video! Enjoy.

WE DIDN'T TAKE THE FREEWAY

       Why haven't we been here before? Obviously we loved the place, Huntington Beach is definitely all the hype. There are surfers EVERYWHERE. You would have thought we payed attention to the professionals surfing the U.S Open but no we looked at the locals because we are all about the underdogs. The up and coming young folk. We don't care that you succeeded (that's a lie we do, congrats.) we care about how you got there-what is your story? That kind of deal. Unfortunately we didn't get to meet anyone because we were too busy being mesmerized by the crowd the U.S Open attracted. It was very umm what's the word VIBRANT? Sure, lets put it that way. Anyway please watch our video to better comprehend what we mean by "VIBRANT."

THE BUCKET LIST: EAT SUSHI

           Sushi is amazing. Dumplings are also really great. Our meal was just overall very satisfying. In a previous post we proposed 10 things we had to try to do before the end of August. Number 3 was to either eat sushi, ramen, or pho.
            We randomly ended up in Whittier with Oscar and Yalitza, who happen to be very experienced sushi eaters. I was very hungry which is when we realized it would be the perfect opportunity to try sushi. We actually tried sushi at two different restaurants because the first didn't meet the sushi standards. The sushi experts were not left satisfied with the quality of the first batch of sushi we ate. So we left the restaurant and walked down the street to a different sushi place called Pho & Roll
             Best. Decision. Ever.The moment you walk in you know the food is quality. We ordered the same thing we did in the first spot, California Rolls and Veggie Rolls (for Alex). Everything was so much better quality, from the food, to the service. The sushi was a game changer. Never again will we eat anything less than what Pho & Roll served us. And apparently they are popular for their Pho so we might just have to go back for that.
              Anyway, as previously said, here is a video documenting the whole event.

THE BUCKET LIST

   Ever since July started we've been really good at not staying home. To keep it up we came up with a list of things that we want to do before the end of August. We will film us doing each thing on the list and then post it on here for you to see! We hope we get to cross out most (if not all) of what is on this list.What's on your summer bucket list?
