John Dennis is one of Jaymee's favorite people on the planet. The "Quentin Tarantino of vintage", John is a true historian and die hard fan of thrift, style and decay, and is a dedicated practitioner and believer in the art of up-cycling. Through his wildly successful vintage company Sam Roberts LA and his brick and mortar Valley Of The Moon in Ojai, CA., John expresses himself boldly through the clothing he designs and repurposes. A true relic himself and genuine article California hippie with a heart of gold, John tells the story of the first half of his life being chewed up and spit out by the rat race, and how the relationship between he and his son became the biggest inspiration for seeking a new path truer to his heart, smothered in dust and dripping with beauty. This conversation is hilarious and heartwarming, between two bearded freaks who are living their dreams after losing it all.
