Hensley’s Flying Elephant Grand Opening

by The Editors on July 12, 2007

HensleyMost of the time we’re quite happy linking out to other media sites for coverage, however, occasionally we’re bummed when we miss covering an event in person. The Grand Opening of Hensley’s Flying Elephant Pub and Grill, at Tamarack and I-5 is one we should have attended. Luckily for us Amanda Branam and photographer Sean DuFrene of Todayslocalnews.com covered all the goodness as former Flogging Molly accordionist Matt Hensley celebrated with friends and family. It looks like the pro skateboarder is finally settling down.

“I’ve always made a living doing odd things. I made a living skateboarding and playing accordion. I still play accordion, and now I own a pub,” said Hensley, who celebrated the grand opening of Hensley’s Flying Elephant Pub and Grill yesterday in Carlsbad. “Owning this pub is probably the most legitimate thing I’ve done in my life. Or the most common thing.”

Hensley! Glad to hear it. Best of luck. If I ever make it down to the SD area my wife and I will be there. Still getting over your ownership of the accordion and ditch skating.
