Last weekend, SWINDLE took part in the Puma Tennis Table Tournament (PT3) in Los Angeles. Our team consisted of staff photographers Dan Monick and Greg Bojorquez, and sports editor Casper, who even brought his own paddle and bag. We lost to Stones Throw in the first round, but still had a fantastic time. We’ve already started training for the next event (and looking for interns with crazy ping pong skills).

Jeff Soto’s second book, Storm Clouds, captures his concerns for the well being of his family, the fragile condition of politics, the changing forces of nature and moments for personal exploration and experimentation.
This hardcover volume is 154 pages, and features specialty printing techniques and more than 264 high-quality, full-color images. There is also a collector’s edition limited to 250 copies.
The book includes a hilarious introduction by David Choe, and commentary by Peter Frank (Senior Curator of Riverside Art Museum), Jeff Soto and Mark Murphy. The Riverside Art Museum and the James Irvine Foundation provided initial support, and they will be featuring Jeff in his first museum show in December of 2008.

Zu Boutique is a new clothing line by AFI lead singer Davey Havok. Right now, the line only consists of T-shirts, “albeit fancy, fabulous ones,” Havok says. “The graphic designs are limited and visibly numbered (from 00-99) and act as my self-indulgent homage to pop culture, music, film, veganism and counterculture. The references are subtle for the most part and thus have spawned our label’s battle cry ‘if you don’t know you weren’t meant to.’”
