Weather:
There’s been some good ones and some bad ones. It supposed to rain for a few days and the temperature is dropping again.

If you’re in LA, I would suggest dropping everything and making your way to Scott Harrison’s show this Friday. If you are not in LA I’d suggest picking up a copy of his book from his headband brothers site.

And now, as promised, birthday pictures from a few weeks back. Here is Danielle blowing out the candles.

The night before we celebrated Spencer’s birthday and the celebrating deteriorated almost immediately. Here is the guest of honor with a pile of shots.

Kevin told me about his plan. He’s going to get a Caprice Classic, install an 8-track player, glue in a Slayer 8-track, turn it up full blast and break off the volume knob.

Tony recently returned from California. A few minutes before this photo was snapped, we watched a mini-cooper hit a car. The guy got out and made his way into the bar.

Life isn’t all whooping it up. There’s been some skateboarding too. Spencer filmed some trick tips and when I get around to editing them you’ll be able to enjoy the awesomeness at Skate Illinois. Take some time and look around then bookmark it and repeat the process daily.

One of the Such Luck family has moved away. Right now Ricky Cozzolino is on the road to Colorado but before he left he was kind enough to give me this print. A talented friend that will be missed.
