A sleezy dive bar with slappy curbs to boot, a not-so-sober session and documentation of the still-to-this-day living-legendary Southside Cafe curbs.

Trifecta 2010

Well.... what can anyone really say about Trifecta? If you skateboard and live in the North West...then Trifecta is a given. I myself have never been to Trifecta until this year and me going was by shear luck! Ben Schroeder was on his way up from L.A., swung by The Ranch and scooped me up. We left The Ranch around 10 PM on Thursday night and pulled into Lincoln City, OR around 11 AM the next day. HESH!

Lincoln City was the first stop at Trifecta this year and the contest was held at the upper portion of the park. I didn't really watch much of the contest... I caught the heat that Devon and Brice were in then split for more lurkage at the bottom of the hill. After Lincoln City, we were off to West Lynn where Brad McClain took first place and came up on yet another pair of Skull Candy head phones! After West Lynn was Tigard and the kid that everyone had a nickname for (mine for him was Pinocchio) took first place. McClain blasted the gnarliest boneless I've ever seen in my life!

Sunday night after Trifecta was said and done = going out to this dude Dogboy's house who got us out there with the promise of BBQ and a mini ramp; neither of which was going by the time we showed up. Me in CW (Chad Jackson from Small Beatings) just kicked it while getting vibed out by the local chicks and dodged fireworks. After Dogboy's....we scooted over to Lil' Jons house. That was interesting. Then the boys took me out to my first strip club! I was hyped to say the least. We ended the night at this bar down the road from the strip club and headed toward California the next morning.

We stopped in Grants Pass at Matt and Amber's place to skate the bowl. Luis Martinez got the heshest front salad over the newest addition....which is this fucked door way. Man that was crazy! I would have had a photo of it, but Devon Crash took out my camera and nearly took me out. That guys is like a freight train!

We continued toward California...stopping hear and there...and pulled into JJ Rogers' house around 2AM. What a trip! Can't wait 'till next year! Pictures coming soon!

Yellow Ledbetter – My Interpretation

On a ceiling

On a voice up there, I said

That he said

I wanna leave it again

Once I saw her

On a piece of leather, I said

Oh he said I wanna leave it again

On a wheeler on a wizard on a way, yeah

And he called and I said

That I whoa that I said

That I fall out again

I am the wizard

On a lever combine, oh

I said that I know what I will

I’m gonna buy a soda back, oh yea!

Yea… have you seen it?

Oh no no, of course

Yea but they don’t wait

I’ve seen it, out of my way!

I know what I know

I don’t wanna say

Make me cry

(Instrumental Break)

Ahhh heeeeee

Oh I don’t know something, now

On a combine run away

I said I don’t, I don’t where

There’s a barstool in back

Oh yea, have you seen it?

Oh no no no, hey take him away

I’ve seen it, right in my way

And I know and I know

I don’t wanna say..

I don’t wanna stay…

I don’t wanna stay…

I don’t wanna stay…

I don’t wanna stay…

… I don’t..

Uhhh…. Ohhhh….

1st Annual "Have a good time" Road Trip - Part 1

SF, California to Orcas Island, Washington

We got a late start on a muggy, Saturday night. It was Tracy So, Katy Mason, Sarah Thorp and myself in Katy's 70 something Mercedes Benz. We sung into the night and headed East on I80, toward Sacramento from the SF Bay Area.

Tracy with Sarah's fruit Contributions

We made it to Weed, CA around 6:00 Am, set up the tent and napped for a few hours. After about 45 minutes or so of trying to fall asleep with the sun blasting the shit out of the tent, I grabbed my sleeping bag and parked under a shady tree. I woke up two hours later to the sound of park rangers chatting while cleaning up the recycling. I'm sure they thought I was homeless or something. I found Thorp about 60 feet or so away from where I was sleeping and she was literally sleeping in the middle of a dirt road. We all eventually woke up, ate some food and Katy, Thorp and I played around in the park a bit and Tracy snoozed in the tent while someone snagged her board. We were all pretty pissed about that one. It must have been one of those little "crackies" running around. They didn't take anything else...we had a car full of theftables and they took her fucking board. Lame.

We cruised around a bit to try and spot the little fucker that made off with Tracy's board, but he was probably hiding out in his trailer or something. Afterwards...we headed toward Klamath.

Cherry was packed to the brim!

Gettin' our grub on...
