Let’s keep this short and sweet since you’ve probably stopped reading already. This guy needs no introduction and would probably come up with something funnier than me anyway LOL. Happy Birthday @Mek206 aka Mek Mek aka Miggle aka “Mr. Email Signatures”!

Over the weekend, we got the chance to celebrate Noy’s “Dirty Thirty” over at Southlake Grill. Enjoy the photos courtesy of @shellscastro’s Facebook album (even though I’m linking her twitter account)!

Again, Happy Birthday, Noy!

Here’s a recap of the Massive Monkees 10 Year Jam at Evo. It was hot, crowded, and muggy, but a day like that surrounded by good people is totally worth it. Thanks to all those who came through and purchased a FK x MM shirt! They will be available again once the online shop is up. Thank you for your continued support. And a special thanks to Eric for helping me out behind the camera. Here are the photos. Enjoy them and get out today to enjoy the sunshine!

Times are tough, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun! Here are some resources and tips on how to find free and cheap ways to enjoy the summer days.

Community Festivals
http://www.festivals.com/
Looking for city-wide festivals in your local community or in neighboring communities? Festivals.com is the best resource I’ve yet found for collecting listings of all of these festivals. While it doesn’t include everything, it does point out lots of interesting activities near your zip code all throughout the summer.

Music Festivals
http://www.festivalfinder.com/
Once you get beyond mega-festivals like Bonnaroo, there are a lot of music festivals all across the country, and many are surprisingly inexpensive (sometimes free). Such festivals are a great way to hear lots of interesting music and meet people who have similar interests.

National Parks
http://www.nps.gov/findapark/
A national parks pass can be one of the best frugal investments around. National parks are wonderful places to explore, camp, hike, and enjoy. The stunning beauty and majesty of nature found within many of the parks is well worth visiting.

The weather has been nice and it’s starting to look a lot like summer, but there have been some rainy spots here and there. Here’s a video to display how I feel about the weather.

And I can’t forget, Happy 21st Birthday, Joyce aka @jca19.

The Massive Monkees are featured on front page of The Seattle Times website. Here are a few quotes from the article that reflect their values, beliefs, and goals.

“Our goal is to maintain us, our relationship, our crew and our integrity,” said member Brysen Angeles, 28

“The group is a family,” said Jerome “Jeromeskee” Aparis, 26. “We grew up together. Family comes first. We build each other up, then we battle.”

“We have great chemistry,” said Florentino “Flow Funk” Francisco, 28. “We feed off each other.”

“You had to work harder to cultivate it,” said Mabanta, 26.

Much of what is emphasized in these quotes reflect what the Massive Monkees stand for and work towards. FRESH Kids share many of the same values. Family. Respect. Education. Style. Hustle. The Massive Monkess have definitely set a great example for everyone, and it’s nice to see such an influential group of people speak so humbly.

FRESH Kids would like to congratulate Massive Monkees on making it to ten years.
