Weather:
Raining down after an unusually spectacular weekend. I probably even got some sunburning.

A fantastic photography opening tomorrow night that you should attend if your not like me and celebrating Spencer getting old.

A packed birthday week. So if you happen to see them, bake them a cake or bring them a dead bird or maybe buy them a beer and film a trick tip.

You should probably head to Texas to hear this fine gentleman.

Grant slaps it down at the Sunday morning quarterpipe szechuan.

Grindline Skatepark Grand Opening After Party!!!!”

I wasn’t so happy with the whole polaroid but I like it cropped down to this. The backgroundlurks make it.

Stu was chased by a guy with a sword.

Click for the full version. Outstanding karate photography. Alex with the Frontflip by Scott Walters.

I’m still waiting for Chris’s flicks, maybe next week.

Contributions are welcomed and encouraged.

If the weather doesn’t improve I’m gonna get some stuff done.

Or try and skate inside.

Weather:
Sort of on the way.

Straight to the meat locker.

When we showed up Kuma’s on Friday for the benefit you couldn’t get in the front door. That kind of sums it up.

Grumpy hooked up a seat and sold the raffle tickets. I guess I won two decks after I left.

Stever with the metal face.

We sat with Ricky.

He asked for weekly updates on Allison and I tried to work that into weekly pancake dinner reports but she wasn’t having it.

Suhail cross-blogging as the burgers were consumed and the liquor got drunk. I’m completely psyched on the italian beef site.

Cruiser.

Heal fast. Skate soon.

Saturday was pleasant and before long the park was packed.

Nick still looks like he lives in Portland. We filmed some lines that’ll be edited together and presented in moving picture format on this website one day in the possible future.

Mark hucking one on over the island hip.

Jackson with a boneless one.

And a frontside air.

It turns out the Carwash benefit wasn’t starting until later in the day so I missed it. Here is some footage from the future of Chicago skateboarding. Morley and Steven.

Sunday the trip to the plaza got rained on and we ended up at the Carwash where I promptly broke my kingpin. So I took some pictures that are filled with the ghost orbs.

Brad with the blunt fakie.

Back smith.

Halfcab crooks.

So next week there’ll be a pretty sweet trick tip from Turbo and similar nonsense. For now some edits to hold you over and waste your time at work.

Dr. Tae has the kingpin breaking syndrome up at Cream City.

Scott with some unreasonable awesomeness.

Happy holy fooling day! May all of your fooling go well.
