I’m Jeff Vincent and this is the good life. The Scary Basement is my personal spot for the music, art, photography, film, friends, inspirations, business ideas, inventions & innovations that flow through and around my head. My favorite things in life are laughter, big smiles, learning new things, challenging the norms, salmon pants, doing what makes me happy, new perspectives, lessons for life, skiing, new adventures, and loved ones.
