First of the Gang To Die

Isiah learned to drop in.

Tony Bologna- frontside 50.  By the way- the "Skate Fanatics" are now the "Skate Kings".  Recognize.

Let the die hards die hard.

I like this.

As great as it is having a ramp in your backyard-  sometimes it's a giant pain in the ass too.  Sunday we had to cover it up in the 40 mile an hour wind and ended up putting every single thing in the backyard on it to hold the tarps down.  

Save dough, support bros.

R.I.P. Cody

My cousin and his mother-in-law were killed Wednesday evening by a drunk driver.  This is a photo my mom took of him a while back, despite how emo he looks in the photo- he was a super funny dude......

Body of the Bird

Went to a good show Friday in OKC-  These guys played first.  The Needlepoints were killing it and it was only their first show.  If you want to know more about them, I'm interviewing them right now for the upcoming Shark Bait....
Japanther.  If you can get over the fact that they play along to a tape, they're really good.  It kind of weirded me out at first, but the hooks are undeniable.
Any of you over 30 remember this guy?  If not- go YOUTUBE the Liberty section in the World Industries classic "Rubbish Heap"  
Here's Mr. Congelliere in present day killing it with his band Underground Railroad to Candyland.  
These guys are great- I bought their album "Bird Roughs" at this show and there isn't a bad song on it.  If your record shop doesn't have it, go to- www.recessrecords.com and get it.  

Part time punks

Skated with Dan yesterday.  This guy goes through so much shit and doesn't complain about any of it.  I fucked up my wrist and woke up to not even being able to squeeze the tube of toothpaste and having to wipe "switch".  The Dr. gave me a splint and some tylenol 3s, so no biggie.  

If you didn't get a little misty-eyed last night because of the historical relevance and general awesomeness, then you must be a robot.  Or Republican.
