summer time and the living's easy?

here's some randoms from the summer thus far.

this is what the post parade fourth of july at m-block looked like from my window.


went out with some of the fellas to do that thing called skateboarding. falla waiting to push through the school 11 obstacle course.





this kid was killin' it.





and then he proceeded to back up into the hip as falla was skating.



beefing it or breakdancing?






bonding with the locals.



driscoll was tryin to skate too but tombo liked the bum better.


jesse hard at work giving paulo his ax's. paulo is from france and he likes alcohol and punk rock, and can also count as bill spice's french brother. he fit in very nicely as our 8th (yes, that's 8 people) roomate for a while.





"when you are the drunk it is easier to not feel it"




graham wants a whole back piece of the the over the top dvd cover.

first addition of the france chapter.




"it is better when you are crazy, it makes life more fun."




me and andy made some homemade salsa with fresh jalopenos and tomatoes straight from the backyard. the homemade beandip is great as well.






shape has been busy workin on the new g. wallace album. and from what i can hear through my wall, it's pretty sick.



gravity rides everything.

went into brooklyn to play skateboards some more and met up with kevin hayden.




kevin is becoming quite the photographer.





and i leave you with this. darren riding a bike in brooklyn. there's too many caption possibilities so ill just leave it at that.

skegs the slacker part I

yea i know its been a while, so heres part I of possibly 3 or more parts. new camera means larger files, means more time and work to make a post. and we all know what that means... me being too impatient and not wanting to do it!

here's some flicks from the & art show at division east from a couple weeks ago:


me & justin white(top), me & mike valentine

justin white & george skoufas (left), mike valentine & gypsy john (right)

justins characters came to life

mike valentine & gypsy john


justin white & george skoufas


jesse & polo! (you'll meet him soon)


alex duke & adam abbada




jersey couple!

thanks to everyone for coming out, is was an epic time. the following photos are from FDR where as you may know, is where davy acquired another notch on his belt in terms of broken arms. im warning you, if you have a weak stomache this might not be for you.


you know, just havin fun, ollieing some boards

we dont have another board to stack, lets put the helmet on top to make it higher!

bad idea.


ambulance ride was bumpy and uncomfortable. davy was all smiles.

dude was psyched.


waiting for drugs.

you can see his already existing plates and screws in there already.


hurts a whole lot.

the drugs kicked in!

whelp, see ya later davy!

go skateboarding day happened:
me, falla, darren and dan v decided to skip the whole thing and walk over the bridge to kcdc for free food before everyone else got there.

listen to the bridge.


official border.

kooks showing off.

haha, yea.
gary is back!

by the time we got on the block everyone started skating by us. i guess we were really that slow? product toss madness.

fourth of july came bright and early. lucky for us the parade passes right in front of the house. the parade started at 10 am, but we got to cure our hangovers and watch the parade all in the comfort of our own stoop.



stupid mascots were all the rage.


not sure if this dude was even in the parade or not but he scares the shit out of me.

awesome.

pad and d!

the dogz played.

this little guy had a tripod thing going on.

corzine was there but he didnt want to drink with us. im sure he probably had a good reason.

dave came by to chill before opening the shop.

and falla watched from his window. he was way psyched for the inca cola girls.

not too sure what the fuck these things were.

tombo had no idea either.

lady liberty? pretty sure lady liberty is supposed to be a lady, not a dude.


part II comin soon. (i know you'll probably laugh at that statement because i know did)
