US BOMBS Berlin. December 5th, 2010
Last weekend I was up in Berlin and I went to check out the US Bombs at this punk rock hall in Kreuzberg called FESTSAAL. Everyone else flaked out on going with me (too tired, too hung over) so I went alone and damn glad I went. Front row, sick show and a few cheap 80 cent half liter beers with some Berlin Punks out front in the cold. Duane Peters was in fine form, rockin’ out, dancing, and pounding Red Bulls. They even played one of my favs for the encore, “Ballad of Sid”. I took the set list for a souvenir and these photos for your enjoyment, since you obviously missed the show.

Happy 20th Birthday Burnside
Burnside is the oldest D.I.Y skate park in the United States and possibly the world. This Halloween I was lucky enough to partake and enjoy the 20 year celebration of the park. This skate park began its form during one Halloween night 20 years ago. Almost every following Halloween there has been some kind of gathering and skating at the park to celebrate its creation and existence. And this year was no exception…

Shoreham Bowl – England: “Old Skool Dayz”
England’s south-coast saw a nostalgia fest in October when the new skatepark at Shoreham-by-Sea hosted its first Old Skool Dayz event.
On an unseasonally sunny and warm day original 1970s skaters busted out laybacks, handplants, and airs in the clover bowl while the tunes from the era blasted out across the park.
