Last Friday I was out and about and ended up at the Tiger Lounge in Georgetown (South Seattle for those of you thinking I was in DC or some other Georgetown) and I randomly got to hear this band Lights From Space. I really had a good time listening to them and thought you all should know about them. Here’s a videos for you to listen to. I hope DJ Dan likes them.
Longevity
I got my mitts on a copy of Thrasher Magazine‘s 30 year anniversary issue. I remember the first ones on newsprint and how great it was to have information about what was going on in skateboarding after Skateboarder Magazine had gone away. I would have so many old ones if I hadn’t cut out the pages with the best photographs and stuck them on my bedroom wall. I essentially had Thrasher wall paper that grew with every issue.
Subscriptions were fine but I always enjoyed the excuse (any excuse) to go down to Gravity (my local skate shop), get my copy, discuss what was in it and see what new stuff the shop had in. Sometimes it’s hard to believe that 1981 was that long ago and who would have thought that Thrasher and Gravity would be around after all this time.
Around Town #1 Southpark
This is a first shot at some videos of parks around Seattle. I’m hoping that other, better, skaters will be in some of them. This one I shot in a dry part of the day on Sunday afternoon. It took several times going around the same line to put it together with one camera. An interesting experiment if nothing else.
