The Search Continues...

The last two days have been interesting. Wednesday night, Bubbie Gentile had his work in the "Cut/Break" event at the SoHo Grand. Richard Kenvin and Joe Curren had their work there, as well as two other filmmakers and one other photographer. I didn't get any shots from the event. Sorry.

The next night Mollusk hosted Joe Curren for a book signing.

Delish.
Did I mention that Tom Fucking Curren showed up?
Yeah. He played for about an hour while we all sat, entranced, watching surf movies. Truly surreal evening

Less gay....go

Tuff Tuesday With J Bless

Joanna got in town this week for her rather notable internship with the evil banged one, Martha Stewart. We all went to check out Jon Bless at Bembe. He was late because he got a splinter in his eye earlier in the day, went to the ER and returned to work to finish what he started. I think that is what Mike sans Dutchie is talking about when he says Hard Body.

An irie time was had by all in attendance.

Sooo creepy

Perhaps even creepier.

Franco Cynical Graduated!

Congrats yo! You best keep me out of a cell.

Williamsburg is sooo Awesome



The effect of age on culinary habits: A lesson in Wisdom

So. We have our own apartment now. It affords us the ability to be self-sufficient and to save money by cooking our own meals. That said, the gap of, well not necessarily ability, but perhaps desire to cook not only good meals but cleanly, food-born sickness-free meals is interesting. Here are two examples. The younger generation of chefs represented by the ever-entertaining Justin "Juicy Terror" Tassone. The old guard being found in the kitchen exploits of none other than (ex-Picky Eater) Peter "the Pumpkin Eater" Murray:


I think Juicy was trying to make a burger.
This looks delicious.

Peter cookin up some chicken a la Murray

Style defined

Blind's Video Days is unarguably the greatest skate video ever made. That said, its star, or co-star, Jason Lee still has the most amazing 360 flips going.

Mollusk Bonzer Bonanza

I heard that Malcom Campbell, the originator of the Bonzer, was going to be stopping by Mollusk today so I stopped by on my way back to the crib. All the bros were around sharing brews as always.

Brooklyn Banks Mission

We took a trip to the Brooklyn Banks, on the Manhattan side of the Brooklyn Bridge. I doubt many need an introduction to the legendary spot. I was hoping for a Gonz siting but none such luck. Pete was ripping. Landed a solid backside wallride that was atleast 3/4 to the top.

I tried a thousand times. This is me getting a running start, hoping to not do this....
bail. I did a whole lot of this.
Jack was giving it a good go but his Mongo-pushing seemed to be the foil to his otherwise silky steez.

Pete landed this. I swear.




and maybe these....I'll never tell.


Justin was getting up there. I don't know if he was just going for it or if he was trying to shoot his arrow of a skateboard at me for making fun of his nonsensical blabber all the time. Either way, well done Terror.

This disaster was all I had. Pathetic.
Pete and I like doing things together, tandem that is.

Jack......

GOT IN!!!!!!

You wanna be on the roller skates lookin like a fairy the rest of ya life?

Shred City Pete

Two days in a nutshell

Justin's mom was nice enough to order him a bed. It is the biggest bed on the market, a truly Terror-sized monster, and it barely fits in his room. Typical.
Bagel-fest 08 at Bergen on Myrtle

He's a big dumb animal folks.


Walking over to my old pad, Justin decided to ghost tag the shit out of the walls.
The roof that never got used. I hadn't been up here since I first looked at the place in January. Rumor has it that Jay-Z shot a video in front of this tower.
Justin, being the bad-ass graffiti god he is, was totally down to climb....
half way up the tower, as he was scared that "the bars were rusted through." Good work dude, you're on your way to legend status.

Bed Stuy Banks

Pete and I had some fun on the way back from Williamsburg.

Welcome to the Neighborhood...Biatch

Pumpkin Eater and Juicy Terror showed up (finally) on Sunday afternoon with two heavy logs (forever indebted, bros), 4 shortboards, two bikes and their entire lives strapped, packed, glued and shoved on top and inside a very compact Maxima.
Ladies, I give you the Pumpkin Eater
Terror's new crib.
Juicy Tassone Terror nose-wheelies on the way to the Depotfor some key replication.
Justin is known for packing more gear than any human could reasonably need. On a trip to New Zealand two years ago, he packed this bag, feeling he needed that much stuff for a two week stay in NZ. In the bag were two black leather belts, "In case [he] broke one."
Upon inspection of his luggage I immediately found these two Motley Crue inspired OBEY hats. One is bad enough, but TWO? Jesus fucking CHRIST!
We took a bike ride for some slices and to do some bed shopping. Pete got a flat. Bummed
Power-stance, Italian style.
