Tantrum Volleyball at the Manhattan 6-Man (posted by Scott)
Last weekend, we took some time off from work to head out to the Manhattan 6-Man Tournament in Manhattan Beach, California. The 6-Man is the wildest (understatement) beach volleyball tournament in the nation with over 100 team participating in costume (Check out Flickr for some photos of the event). Tantrum photographer and filmmaker Seneca Kern, songwriting extraordinaire Brother Han and I were able to take in the sights, play a little volleyball and rock the house like it was our fulltime job. Thanks to everyone who came out to say "what's up" sporting Tantrum Volleyball gear and a big thanks to the Pineapple Express Jockeys for their hospitality and the sweet after-party. I think I smell a sponsorship coming soon... |
