Just thought I would give a shout to Lifeblood Skateshop in Tupelo MS. If you live anywhere near them, please get off those online shops and go be a good patron to the real deal. Thanks to Nate for all his support. Support local shops!

Ann Peebles wasn't lying

Rain. Rain. Rain. I used to not mind it. but this is ridiculous. It has taken out city under seige. But to say that we got hit hard in comparison to the other cities in the south, such as Tuscaloosa, would be selfish. Even though the Trife Street swimming hole is open for business, we got off pretty easy. Yes there are places in Memphis that will probably be flooded by the end of the day due to river surges and rain, but I don't think 1 person died and we all have power. Over 300 people died last week from all of the weather and over 50,000 people without power. Please do what you can to help out if you can, and if you can't then just make a place in your hearts for the people and families affected.

Galinis and Taylor along with Hammond and Bambei from Trife Street get down on Terrytopia's new make-over. Check it here

Workin Man Blues

Here are some pictures from the work day last saturday. It was an epic day that had everyone there stoked on what was to come. Big props to Hammond for getting the truck there and also to Wrex for bringing in some excellent knowledge and skills to the table. Taylor, Bambei, Johnny, you guys motivate me and inspire me with your ask no questions get it done attitudes. Everyone there put in work and deserves to feel good about it. Being involved in something like this is an experience that I can't put into words. It is a true labor of love and as Johnny said on monday as I was giving him a ride to work after some work at the spot, "I'd rather do this all day and not get paid then go to work." So true. thank you guys for letting me be a part of a really rad day that I won't soon forget and also giving me a chance to put in my dues. Be sure to check out Taylor's Index Blog, Trife Street, and Dr. Gay Panda for more coverage.
