Weather:
Not as bad as it usually is in August.

If your wondering about the title.

Another long post. Lots of pictures. Videos. All good stuff. Read on.

It sounds like I might have something art related coming up in November. So if you don’t see me I’ll be working on that. Also I’m about a week behind with emails because I’ve been outside and I don’t have a space phone.

On the art front Ricky Cozzolino has been busy out in Colorado and he sent over some of his recent work.

Nick Peterson is back on board after breaking his leg and he’s got some ideas about bird nests. We’re going to finish our zine collaboration by the end of the year. Or at least by the end of 2020.

Previously there was a demonstration.

Here is the companion pic from last weeks post. Photo by Chris Poquette. He just had a birthday so if you see him buy him a beer or a 30 pack. He did a fine job capturing the moment.

You can see him in action on the Uprise site. Scotty took the photo. He’s leaving soon, so I’m hoping he’ll shoot a maneuver for me before he heads west.

Tim told me he broke this on a back tail.

Speaking of breaking.

Awesome piece of Wilson graffiti. I don’t think Homer looks high. Maybe he’s having an anxiety attack.

Jesse. If you don’t know you should learn your history. Still the best.

So instead of a long July edit I split it into Wilson and not Wilson. This is not Wilson. Enjoy watching it. We had fun living it.
