There was a kid in my old neighborhood in Oakland who ran the block on his scraper, complete with homemade spinners.
Being that Da Trunk boiz are also from Oakland, this would only make sense.

Ok then, we hope everybody had a decent weekend. Weve got some goods on deck-

First up, clear your calendars cause as I previously mentioned, Brian Vernors newest effort 'We Just Work Here' is going to have its Northern California premiere at The Rio Theatre in Santa Cruz.
Possible scraper bike derby to follow.

Lets see.. what else do we have here?.. Ah yes, Pittsburgites should be aware of this.

Last year there were 'number of the beast' rides nation wide. This, as far as we know is the first of the 'neighbor of the beast' rides. Get on it.

And speaking of neighbor of the beast, Vice TV has not failed to impress again with their five part series on Norwegian Black Metal.
Its gonna take some time to get through this, but its a bit of a mind scrambler.

Damn, and I thought growing up in a small town in Colorado screwed me up.

lastly Ill mention this. Swobo has got some new goods coming down the pipe for your personal adornment. New shirts, A hoodie, some furry handcuffs, muscle Ts and lots more. I dont know when specifically, but keep tuned. Its gonna be good.
Plus our Folsom got its first haiku review over at Pinch Flat News (dot) com. Everythings coming up roses.

Oh, wait, I got one

Skidding across streets.
Gleefully through piles of trash.
Bottle explosion.

You wouldnt know that was my first haiku, now would you?

As the lovely and talented Gabriel pointed out, the pile of tiny bikes in the last post wasnt owned by a gaggle of clowns. At least not the kind I mentioned.
