This poster by Shepard Fairey of Obey Giant pretty much sums up our feelings.
]]>Friday & Saturday 1 PM, 3 PM , 7 PM.
Be there!
]]>And the Bowl Bash is only a week away. Concrete is being poured all week... weather permitting.
Show up, donate, work, make something happen one way or another!
]]>Send your best vibes toward the Huntingon, WV ICU, send your donations for concrete to skatopia.org.
The party and the premiere are still on... just the way he'd want.
Try not to call the farm unless its urgent. Bands can still get booked by going through skatopia Myspace page.
Here's a little thought for the day from the pope:
Our film was a very late selection for the NYC indy film fest - ACEfest and...
WE GOT THE BEST SLOT - Closing show on Saturday Night.
The Skatopia crew will be on hand to party!
Buy your tickets now! Tell your friends. We've want to sell this mofo out!
If we do, they'll book another show!
Here's where:

(While you're there, log in and rate our film so it will move onto the festival home page.)
Also, if you're in NYC or have friends nearby... get out the word for us. We'll have stickers and flyers ready to go out shortly.
If anyone wants to add our trailer to their blog, etc: here's the url: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTgV44R_loU
You can find the embed code there if you want to paste it into your page, blog, etc.
See you there!
]]>We're doing a sneak preview at Skatopia during the Bowl Bash. Maybe we'll show another a few days before if we can get down there in time. We'll bring a BIG screen, projector sound system & play it for y'all.
Like we said: BE THERE!
]]>But I couldn't leave out this incredible sequence that shows how far Skatopia local Morgan Burgess has come the few short years since we met him in 2005. He is a force to be reckoned with... and he ain't even in high school yet!

]]>In honor of our son Liam's diagnosis we bring you - Aerosmith.
]]>Part 2 is here:
Part 3 (short, but good kick) is here.
]]>For those who haven't been paying attention, the Amity Whitelight Amphitheater is rapidly nearing ultimate completion. Expect electricity, Marshall stacks and amps that go to 11!
Speaking of Amity - check her out grinding:
And McRad is scheduled for Brewce's Birthday -- Halloween! If you haven't seen McRad, you haven't lived.
Also came across some fine photos from 3 years ago of some very extreme frontside action in the cradle at a prior Backwoods Bash.
Also Amber posted this killer slow-shutter shot of Brewce that I had to paste in here.
If you haven't by now, check out Travis Dove's Rolling Stone still photos in the mag.
There's an article in the local Meig's County newspaper where Brewce adds a few thoughts on the milder side. Another article from Marietta on the kid in Travis' full page photo.
The forums have been back and forth on whether publicity is a good thing for Skatopia. My favorite entry is from a grumpy downhiller: "I'll be the first on here to say that I'm glad that I don't associate myself with that sort of culture. And I think that those sorts of images really help enforce the negative attitudes that skateboarding/longboarding gets from the general population."
(Be warned: Don't click on the "dead filmmaker link or you'll have to shut down your browser.)
Other posts don't have as much to say, but one photography blog has some scans from the Rolling Stone article for those who haven't seen it.
Best of all the photo blog led us to discover a piece shot at the same time we were filming the 06 Bowl Bash... a little tribute to Michah... a little on the sappy side... but hey, this was the channel that Al Gore started.
Even the fashion bloggers have something to say...
Finally, Slap Mag has a sweet little rambly video shot at the 08 'bash with some fine moments. Enjoy
]]>We'll post it in beautiful Quicktime here on this site in a few days.
