" Hey guys!\u2028\u2028 Hello from sunny California! Last night the band and I played an amazing show on the beach for the Hurley Walk the Walk competition at the US Open of Surfing in Huntington Beach, CA. The event is Hurley&amp;#039;s annual fashion competition for high-schoolers; the six competing schools were given the full Hurley Fall line to reinvent into their own style, then show off in a full runway show in front of thousands of screaming fans. $25,000 was up for grabs for the winning school&amp;#039;s arts &amp;amp;amp; music programs-which is of course near and dear to us. We are all fans of Hurley, and were thrilled we could help support this awesome program.\u2028\u2028 The guys and I came in from New York to play the show. It was nice to get back to California where I grew up. I&amp;#039;m originally from Malibu, CA and have missed the weather here! Two of my good friends, Emily Jerome and Leigh Bell, drove with me to the show and kept me company all day, which was awesome. The band has been so busy working on our new record so it felt great to be at home with my friends. Backstage was pretty relaxed, the guys and I had some press, ate some tasty catering and I went and watch the BMX competition happening next door. I was so impressed with all the tricks these guys did, I had never seen anything like it. Hanging out backstage was Hurley pro surfer Rob Machado, Lauren Conrad, Camila Alves and AnnaLynne McCord, all whom were judges and hosts for the event. The dressing room was different from the usual venue room, we were in a big white tent on the beach. Before the show, the boys and I got warmed up with a Weezer sing-along as they are our favorite band and it always gets us hyped to play.  All the schools did an amazing job putting together a complete collection. I couldn&amp;#039;t get over how sweet their dance moves were! I wish I had been as talented as these kids when I was in high school! They are real pros! In the end, local L.A. high school Corona del Mar came out on top and won the big $25,000 check. Congratulations to all six high schools - CdM, Huntington Beach, Lincoln (San Diego), Tom&amp;#039;s River East (New Jersey) and Pearl City (Hawaii) - you all rocked the runway.\u2028\u2028  Xxx,\u2028Victoria "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
