What other randomness is out here..... The base player in one of out music projects called to tell us before band practice that he was at the hospital because he had cut one of his fingers off. I mean what the hell man?? Well, it turns out he only badly severed the digit. He said he will just have to use a pick for a while. As long as he does not show up completely shlitzed and drop base lines the wrong way. No really, that shit sucks to sever a finger on your right hand. Makes eating difficult, you can't pick your nose, pants pockets are off limits and then you almost have to wipe your butt with your left hand. I hope he is ok, poor guy.
Then there is this talk of making skateboards.... So I went down to Little Rock the other day and picked up a whole bunch of uncut blanks from my buddy Paige. Maybe one day I will take you on a tour of Paige's shop, its interesting to some. This shipment of boards are mostly 10.5 blanks decks. So what does that mean?? It means I can make a slue of decks that are 8.5 thru 10 inches wide. Hell Yeah!! That means people are going to have to come out of the wood work. And the fatties are still gunna go for the $30.
At some point this week I will have some aluminium silk screens come in. After which I will burn one of the screens for the purpose of making T-Shirts.
The point of all this hopefully is ending up in Oxford Mississippi for the Rebate Jam Contest. The contest will be held the 27th of October starting at 12pm thru 5pm. I will be there with the Rufus Crew selling my items. That is the first part of the day at least. After the Rebate Jam, then there will be another back yard sesh back in Memphis. It would be no big deal but this is the Halloween Costume Sesh. You don't want to miss this sesh, people get punched out sometimes a this one, like in the face.
I had to repaint the first three in the picture above because someone kept picking them up and ogling over how cool they were while the paint had not dried fully. The next morning I was like what the hell?? No biggie, I will have improved on the look better anyway. Then there are popsicles:
Yeap, these shapes differ slightly, but however they are popsicles. You will just have to see it to believe it. And the boys got to see first hand what they had got them selves into, put them to work.
This one worked so hard he missed the bed when it came time for sleep.
And you have to finish with one happy customer. Ask Travis (below) or Garner(above) how these decks skate, do it, I dare you.
