Guest appearance by Stereo artist Ron Rauto Visit the Stereo website for photos and more about the trip:ДЇeaturing Stereo Sound Agency co-founders Jason Lee & Chris Pastras We had a blast on our Atlanta, GA expedition and are inspired to do more of these 'Adventures in Stereo' features showing important places, skating spots and connecting with local business and creative people in the different cities we travel. Walker Museum & WERD Radio Station in the Sweet Auburn District We stop in to visit with Ricci, dig through some vinyl and soak in the art and history, taking a moment to reflect on our favorite Jazz albums and the influence the genres have had on stereo's aesthetic. Housed in the salon and museum is a huge collection of Blues & Jazz vinyl records still being spun on live radio everyday. She invented a line of African-american hair care products in 1905 and was one of the first American women to become a self-made millionaire. Walker, an African-American beauty pioneer in the early 1900's. Downstairs is a salon and museum dedicated to Madam C.J. We met Ricci de Forest, museum curator and DJ of WERD Radio in the same station where MLK used to broadcast and coordinate many of the civil rights efforts in Atlanta. Martin Luther King Jr., a National Historic site, and stop into The Madam C.J. Third Stop: Next we head down to the Sweet Auburn Historic District to visit the birthplace of Dr. We met up with Stereo artist Ron Rauto to review some new graphics in development and make plans to visit some super inspiring spots around town. I'd recommend the Boss Hog pork sandwich. We pulled up at the local cafe and a crew of vintage bike enthusiasts Brother Moto were parked out front for the lunch rush. Second Stop: Victory Sandwich Bar is this rad lunch spot right off the Beltline. Jason and Chris shared a slideshow of Stereo artwork & graphics, and told the story of Stereo Skateboards with old photos and anecdotes from the road.

Turns out MailChimp isn't just an email powerhouse, the team is full of creative and innovative people, due in part to the unique atmosphere in their Old Fourth Ward HQ. What a cool idea to offer your employees on a Friday morning. MailChimp invited Jason and Chris to speak at a 'Coffee Hour' event they do, where guest speakers talk about their business/life and inspirations. Stereo Skateboards has used the service since 2012 to keep connected to our fans and customers. More to come.' - Jason LeeДЇirst Stop: Our first stop on the trip is to the headquarters for MailChimp, the leaders in email marketing. Big thanks to MailChimp and Calvin Florian for making this chapter possible. Using skating as en entry point for discovering new places makes the experience all the more interesting. 'Going to Atlanta with a film crew and exploring the city felt like the 'Way Out East!' days, back in 2004, wherein we traveled to different cities and made a film out of it, with equal parts lifestyle and skating footage. Special thanks to Calvin Florian, MailChimp and the ATL crew! Hope you all enjoy! - Chris 'Dune' Pastras I was in awe and inspired just rolling through the streets. The MailChimp crew rules, and Atlanta has so much soul and history. For me, 'working for the weekend' doesn't exist.

I often don't notice I haven't taken a day away from my computer or off my board in 2-3 weeks, sometimes more. 'Do what you love, and you'll never work a day in your life.' For myself, that's been skateboarding and the culture that surrounds it.
