Weather:
It seems like spring may be starting to think about making an appearance.
First things first, the next round of zines are available at Parking Block Publishing. Quality stuff from Ricky and Alex.
Tomorrow night is the opening for Chris Smith’s show at Antenna.
Here is some skateboarding from many, many, years ago. Lately I’ve been using YouTube for video hosting so it’s viewable on spacephones. I think it looks pretty good.
This was a board I did for a show at Lou’s gallery a few years back. Grant got it framed and now it looks legit.
Throwback.
Weiner and Still Champ.
Frytastic.
The Party Downers record release.
Serious Shredding.
Emo Ninja. Logan graffiti.
Steak and Al Pastor. Lunch with dudes.
I spent a ton of time making calendars of the past few months and I’m happy to say that they are all gone!
More tacos. Big Star.
Skated Krush a few weeks back. Steve doing his best Eazy-E impression.
Diwali. Chicken Shwarma.
This pumpkin has been in front of my apartment since halloween. It melted slowly.
Mista Pizza. Cracker crust.
Amazing Chicago Winter Sun.
Got up early one morning and headed out of town.
Westward Bound. Mountains and sun.
First stop.
Crinklefries and tacos.
Arizona sunset.
Dinner at the Chuckbox
Burgers cooked up by the Big Juan
Not too shabby.
Nate opted for some falafel.
Their demands are simply.
Sweet Crew
Are you guys a team?
No.
Oh just a bunch of friends who skate together?
Doing it.
On vacation.
This was my favorite park of the trip. Suhail kicks out the jams.
Charlie with a boneless one over the hip.
Nate over the bench one way.
And the other way.
Palm trees.
I’ve been trying to eat healthier. The guy making this sandwich hooked us all up with his discount. I think he also wanted us to go skate some stairs.
Off brand Chuck Norris calendar.
Arizona’s largest trophy shop.
We did some ditch searching.
A few were completely washed out. Others needed work.
There was a pretty good szechuan developing at this one.
Bic pen punk.
They still haven’t fixed this. (go back and look at last years AZ post for reference if need be)
We also headed to the mall.
If I wasn’t trying to eat healthy I would have been all over this. I also didn’t have a pretzel.
This Spencer’s gift had lingerie. The one I remember had whoopi cushions. Times change.
AuqaMassages after a day of skating? Why not we’re on vacation.
This airbrush stand had a bunch of weird alcohic stuff for babies. It’s an odd niche.
I think we ended most of our nights here.
One night there was somebody with a broken leg.
One night there was a girl dressed like Lady Gaga.
One night some kids boxed for some reason.
It’s how plaza’s should be built.
Lot’s of weird obstacles.
Lot’s of fun banks.
Del Taco.
Chandler.
The twinkie.
Deliciousness.
WWWWWWHHHHAAAAAATTTTTTTT.
OOOOOKKKKKKKKAAAAYYYYYY.
One morning we went to the wedge. It’s monsterous.
They were a few thugs getting blunted and waxing things up.
ScootThugz!
We found out there was a scootering contest.
So we got to work.
And split before it got any weirder.
Botox on the cheap.
One morning this was on TV. It was mesmerizing.
Pecos is always fun.
Rail challenge champion.
Last morning of the trip.
Doubles.
Tim Ward.
Signature manuever.
That was the Arizona trip. I’m already looking forward to the next one.
Back in Chicago, Marie’s Pizza with green peppers.
This is one of the best burgers I’ve had in a while. Pretzel Roll. Nicely prepared. I’ll be back soon.
This is where I found it. I like the mascot.
Arluck Time.
I’ll be putting up the link for the cd and the other merch next time. Buy some stuff. It’s the right thing. This was a humbling celebration of a life well lived.
I headed back to the zoo a few weeks ago.
Mostly to find out more about this.
But then I saw this.
And lost my mind.
Aladdins. There was a curry wrap there that was top notch.
.
Checked out the Metal vs. Wood show at 360see.
Metal Nikes.
Paper plane.
Closer.
Singh.
This should keep you busy for a bit.
Next time there will be photos from the Cat Circus and a new Dude life Graphic.

i’ve said it before i’ll say it again: easily one of the best no-comply pics ever, both in quality of maneuver and photo.
