We Aren't the World

For two consecutive years Megan and I managed to see Toys That Kill on our Anniversary. The guys in The Arrivals were excited for us and we became instant pals with Dave (left) and Isaac (right). They even gave us a shout-out while they were playing (as did Todd Congelliere from Toys That Kill). Dave is also in a Guided By Voices tribute band called "Text Book Committee" back in Chicago, which I thought was awesome, and Isaac is the fellow who did the interview with me a few issues ago for Shark Bait. (this photo was supposed to be down there with all the other stuff from the show, but didn't show up- sorry here's some locs skating and then back to this show...)
Wes and Seth- lurking at the newly renovated ditch. (weird, Wes isn't making a face like an asshole for once.)
Simple Pleasures in America, indeed. Wes- ollie
Eccentric as all hell and tailor-made for skateboarding- Butthash with a blunt rock fakie.
Killa I is, uh, Killer. Frontside flip disaster.
Seth, Wes, and I made this wonderful ledge a few weeks back. It turned out super legit and Seth got one of the first grinds on it.
That's more like it- Wes gone wild.
Wes- properly locked and popped out smith grind. Angle-iron is heavenly.
The Needlepoints are so good!
Kale of The Needlepoints!
I was so excited to see The Arrivals.
and they were just as great as I thought they'd be.
Paddy on the left there is also in Dillinger Four. That's awesome on it's own....
Toys That Kill! Recess Records have been killing it so hard lately....
Todd C. rules!
Thanks for the great show and bullshitting with us! Where do you wanna meet up next year on May 31st? If you'd like to see some videos from this show head over here and if you like what you hear, you can get most of this stuff at Size Records in OKC or simply go here if you live elsewhere....
