Weather:
It was so hot they had to cancel the marathon and then it was time for sweatshirts and for awhile it was perfect but tonight there was some type of tornado alert. So yeah, pretty much all over the map.

I didn’t post last week so I’m double posting this week to make up for it. You can check out photo’s from the Chicago Underground show at EXP over here.

I’ve been getting lots of awesome mail from Shawn Hebrank. If your up in Minneapolis get some work done or pick up one of his prints from the intertron.

This is Dr. Tae and I recommend you take some time to learn the physics of skateboarding from him.

Mark Gildersleeve sent over the first of his new series. I read his book again every year.

As for me, I have two projects that are almost completed and I’m pretty hyped on the results. More on that in weeks to come.

Skating? There was skating but for some reason I was involved in this.

Nick’s been skating with that lego cast on for a while now. I have to imagine that his foot is going to be damaged forever. Guess you gotta enjoy the season while the seasons still here.

Mr. Pitt should make more art. Seriously. Or I’m going to punch him in the knee.

I probably would’ve bought Scotty’s photo of Mike Owen if he had bothered pricing it.
