Stolen pt. 1: Mystery Artist

Stole this from the Deerhunter blog. It's a cover of a new Deerhunter song by some mysterious person. Super good. The original's good too, of course.

Bonus: We have the same organ at our house! Oh, Magic Genie...

To Portland (Kyle Nielsen on a skateboard)

So we went to Portland on Monday to see Animal Collective and skate the new plaza.  Strangely enough, the parking lot we stopped at on the way proved to be way more fun than the plaza.  Took some photos throughout the day, hope you enjoy.  

Kyle brought his gay shades.

Working on his Muska flips.

Jake gettin' down on some no-comply tails.

And these (see video).

Hasn't stepped foot on a skateboard in years and he's somehow throwing out kick back tails with steez (see video).

There was an even better one that he slid, miraculously.

Also worth noting, Davey from Animal Collective was wearing an Alien Workshop shirt!  Guess they were hyped to have some songs in Mind Field.  

AND apparently, all the songs from that show are on youtube(!), so here's one of my favorites from the night:

 

5/24/09: Seattle

Skated Seattle with Andy, Josh and Calvin the other day.  Good fun.

Calvin filmed some stuff.

Watching the above back tail.

He kicked us out.

And some videos.

A few drinks at the Harmon

Celebrated Josh's birthday a couple of weeks ago at the Harmon.  It was his 24th, but he told everyone he was 25 because it "sounds better."

The birthday boy, gettin faded.

Something terrible was probably just said.

Eric's favorite hockey player was Wayne Gretzky, because he was the only guy he knew.

I was there too.

"I'm trying to look sexy."

5/9/09: Mercer Island and Bellevue Plaza

Pigs in the sun

Throwing rocks at targets is always amusing.

Andy, front blunt

Cody, back lip

Eric, fakie smith?

Sorry, I don't know how to edit videos down.

Eric thought it'd be cool
