A REAL "IRL" EXPERIENCE WITH PEI'S FIRST INSTAMEET /  by Sean Berrigan

HILL FLARE

On Sunday a group of 30+ Instagramers ascended upon a small hidden gem of a location within the eastern end of PEI called Mooney's Pond. For the first time, an event of this kind has taken place on PEI, taking inspiration from bigger city IG meetups like in Toronto, and New York. It's interesting how Instagram and social media has made it so easy to feel like you really know someone by what they share online. It's even more interesting when you get an opportunity to gather a community of like minded individuals together to network and get up to something creative. It was truly amazing to see such a great crowd of people show up and bare the cold and snow to trek through some awesome trails and fire of some flares and smoke grenades..for the gram along the way :)

Special thanks to The Morell River Management Co-op for allowing us to host the event there and to our friends at Receiver Coffee Co for hooking all the attendees up with free drip coffee for the hike.

The DIY In-Home Barbering Wave is here! /  by Sean Berrigan

In another hangout with my bud Jared, we had a couple boys over for a cut and a cup of drink. If you missed the last post, Jared's been inviting his good buds over for a good ol'fashioned hang but with twist. Jared has been working as a barber for over a year now and wanted to have a more intimate place to cut his friends hair and try new techniques that he normally wouldn't feel comfortable trying at Humble Barber in Charlottetown (the barbershop he cuts out of now). You can't hang out and have a beer and play your fav music at any barbershop around here so Jared wanted to offer a spot for his close friends where he could work at perfecting his craft while having a dope spot that friends could chill at with no rush or pressure to do anything. It's all about the vibes and the experience people!

This session featured our friend Nick Macdonald who works as co-owner and personal trainer at Kinetic Fitness here in Charlottetown. The second hooligan you see in the shots with the dashing long hair is Nigel Thompson who's owner and chef smoker extraordinaire behind Sneaky Cheats PEI, a craft catering service based on PEI. The last fella in for the cut is yours truly :)

Beaches and Lobster Rolls /  by Sean Berrigan

Back here today with another beach blog post, I have no idea whether you're sick of them or can't get enough of PEI beaches! We had a blast with some good friends of ours Dante Leon and Grace Stavert - they've both appeared on the blog before. We knew they were coming down to the Island so we all decided to hit the beach on this warm summer afternoon. The good drinks, good weed and good vibes were flowing. Unfortunately, I realized I only had less than 10% camera battery remaining when we got to the beach, so we quickly plugged it in the car charger and were able to recharge on the way to Richard's, which totally saved us. I've learned in the past few weeks to carry my camera everywhere I go; I make sure I don't miss a moment and in turn, I get some crazy memories & feels while looking at those images. I feel like I'm going back to the source to when I used to document my friends growing up! Dante played us some unreleased music all afternoon and we couldn't help but be so impressed at his talent. Stay tuned for his work coming out soon! 

Richard's Fresh Seafood and Lobster down at the Covehead Wharf is one of the best spots on PEI to grab a mouth watering Lobster Roll or a round of Fish n Chips while soaking in the incredible view. It's for sure the best way to end a beach day while the sun is setting if you're in that area.

 

Cheers,

Sean
