the next day 8 friends and i spread out between a van and a green limo. and headed to west chester pennsylvania.
we rode some fun stuff and then went downtown to get loose.
a dog.
the night got crazy.. eric holladay and i found some big wheels and bombed some hills.
i guess holladay pissed on kennys feet earlier in the day . holladay and i were filming each other bomb hills in a parking garage and i guess this was kennys comeback to holladay..
after we got surprise attacked by the fire extiguisher we jumped in the limo back to pauls house. garret puked all over the back and maybe even splashed a little on pauls girl friend.. holladay passed out hanging halfway out the door...covered in white fire extinguisher dust.
after i took the pic of holladay i headed inside to sleep on a couch.. when i got to the front door i found another passed out person on a chain in the front yard.. it was garret with puke on him
i headed out on a 10 day road trip from richmond virginia to lockhaven pennsylvania with a quick with a little loop through boston.. my trip started a day early since i had to find a way to richmond. i hoped on a bus and headed to nyc. with no plans on what i was going to do but i gave myself an extra day to figure it out
when i got to the city i spent a few hours walking around checking out the sites with my friend lex who just moved there.
the next morning i spent the day crusing around nyc enjoying the sites.. i gave myself plenty of spare time so i was in no rush
took the sketchiest 7 hour bus ride from nyc to richmond virginia and got there at 1am. and jumped on steves couch.
going on a road trip tomorrow for a while. really stoked to see my friends i haven't seen in a while. summer time is so much fun. and so isn't fall. and winter actually. my friend jake just took me here.. its where the first american flag was hung. i dont really give 2 shits because i think america is fucked but it is kinda crazy to think that in 1776 a bunch of people hung around this thing and stared at a flag.
this is a picture of emerson,domenic,and i after the show at the holeshot party. we had so much fun. cant wait for the next show.
this is where we practice. the lightswitch shocks the shit out of you if you touch the box .
my friend showed me this quote. i was way into it.
"The unhappy person resents it when you try to cheer him up, because that means he has to stop dwelling on himself and start paying attention to the Universe. Unhappiness is the ultimate form of self-indulgence. When you’re unhappy, you get to pay a lot of attention to yourself. You get to take yourself oh so very seriously." — Tom Robbins
if you dont think that 9/11 was planned out and done by the united states government you probably believe in "faith". god bless america??? hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
the first issue of holeshot opened up with this statement. If you have read one of the last 8 issues of the holeshot zine, you have been a fan. I think nicks trying to pull that "going out on top" thing, by making this next issue the last one. Nerd tactics.
to celebrate. hes having the last issue release party at his publishing shop, Amigos. this saturday from 6 to 9. our band is going to be playing around 8ish. to help holeshot "go out with a BANG"
as a pre celebration..i give you this picture of me and justin gallant.
back in the early 90's there was a family in olneyville rhode island that had triplets.. when the kids were old enough to walk the parents forgot about them.. (not an un-common thing in these neighborhoods) these triplets were different though. they would live in the bushes around the skatepark and come out at night and run around on the ramps. when they were 3 they were murdered in a drug war.
the ghosts of the olneyville triplets are still living in woods by the skatepark. and on cool summer nights around 11PM they come out and run around for a bit before returning to the bushes and disappearing. the legend lives on..
that look on his face is priceless...are you my dad??
as soon as september hits the temperature drops a little bit. the drive to go swimming slows down and the urge to ride bikes in hoodies grows.
pawtucket is weird. lots of sketchy street trash walking around and they all eat shit at wendys. if you go in there at any time of the day..you are guaranteed to leave stressed out from the terrible terrible service and all the shitiots making you uncomfortable. i dont usually eat fast food, but going there is such an adventure i indulge on occasion.
look at that ladies arm....
bret and i took a cruise out for some swimming the other day. nice ride, nice weather.
i dont update the site as much in the summer because i dont feel like it. i have better stuff to do with this perfect weather. been spending days riding bikes around, swimming, playing music, and my favorite thing to do this summer...nothing. soaking up my last bit of the new england summer before i hit the road at the end of this month for a while. heres a video i made from friday.. my friend bret and i went for a bike ride out to echo rock and went swimming and then went to paw park later at night and had some fun. summer is the happiest time of year. so isnt fall, winter, and spring, if you're spending your days in a bad mood. you dont get those days back. go do something enjoyable with your time. go hiking in the rain.
another new song.. another shitty video.. we were in traffic on 95 south so i skated around for a bit.. good time weaving through all the stopped cars.
