This is what happens when you are drinking and bored in a hotel room on an etnies tour in Tennessee. Not sure how we even got to this point, but it seemed like a good idea at the time. Malto has good form... my head barely hurt the next day!

Wow, check out what Indy did for me! The "Brink" belt. Complete with a bottle opener and everything! Maybe they're trying to get me back since they saw I'm a die hard Thunder guy.

Spent the day with Sky Ferreira for an upcoming Missbehave interview. You probably don't know her now, but perhaps you will one day soon...

"'Skateboard media' is a funny term. For one, it’s a joke. If there was a skateboard media they’d be reporting on shit in skateboarding that really matters, instead they just do fluff pieces every month. No one calls bullshit when bullshit needs to be called and everyone is so nice to everybody else because you don’t want to offend the wrong person and lose their advertising dollars. I think that’s why we just focused on ourselves and our little world. There really isn’t any news in skateboarding, so we created our own. “Skateboard media” is funny also because a skateboard is a toy. It’s like saying, 'hopscotch media.'"

Flannels!
The TransWorld Awards were last night. Flannels are still hot. Evidently everyone is too "important" and "VIP" to wait on a line or not get into the "hot party" these days and SoCal floozies who could care less about skateboarding still dress their Sunday best in attempts to have pro skaters and industry dudes give them a little attention.
Ritchie Jackson's part in And Now was full of shock and awe. Expect droves of impressionable young skateboarders across the globe to be waxing the flatground at all your local spots soon. You might not know 'till it's too late though, when your ass is on the ground. Malto got curtains. 'Nuff said.

"Hey Rob, thats The Chief on the other line so I gotta call you back. Sorry, you know I gotta take The Chief's call."
-Jim Thiebaud to me just 15 seconds after calling for reasons still unknown.
Jim keeping The Chief's coffee warm.

My site got hacked! Pretty sick. That's why shit is a little confusing and messed up around here right now. My categories are all jammed up, things are lookin' a little different. Things are missing and not working properly. Please try to survive while we sort all that out. You can always go lurk on The Berrics in the meantime. I'd link to it, but I can't because all this is broken.

Jose found this baby turtle scrambling across a parking lot. We brought him into the woods and left him, then learned there was a river a hundred yards away. Having a totally sensitive moment, I ran back to the dispatch location, somehow found him and brought him to the river. He was hyped. I like turtles.
