Guy Mariano even came in and laid down his design portfolio and freestyled a couple of logo treatments for us. Guy, call us if this whole skating thing doesn't work out. >> Ty's Video Voyage, The Sparks and man purses... RING RING RING. >> As promised, here's the mini interview with Girl sales dude Eric Anthony about his man purse. >> No, Mike Carroll will not be on that soda tour thing and it seems as though nobody's really even sure how we got involved with it in the first place. Maybe you should ASK MIKEY. >>
QUOTE OF THE DAY: >>
QUOTE OF THE DAY 2: >> Okay, the DJ from the Would show... his name is James Akers and he rips. Thanks, James. >> If you work in the marketing department of a huge-mongous corporation who has yet to find a way to attach itself to skateboarding, please contact Crailtap directly with the big money offers and we'll see if we can squeeze you in somewhere for under seven figures.
PAST
ENTRY>> >> You missed the Would show this past Friday in Pedro? Well that's too bad because it was freakin' awesome, bro. Thanks to Ray Barbee for playing some amazing tunes, to the DJ guy who also played some amazing tunes (can't remember his name), Edie Abeyta, The Three Gallery and everybody else that showed up or helped out in any way. There's still a few of the figurines that didn't sell so you'd better get your ass there quick before they're all gone. >> What's wrong with wine in a box? RING RING RING. >> Paul and Greg from Sakebomb raced across the country in a purple PT Cruiser? >>

QUOTE OF THE DAY:
PAST

>> Somebody Asked Mikey where they could buy that WATCH VIDEO DAYS shirt that Rick has his hands on in the Beware of the Flare video. Mikey had no idea, but we found out who does. >> Hamburger wrappers and things with poop on them? RING RING RING. >> Yesterday RING RING RING mentioned something about Tony Larson being a fan of the Lakers. Tony was not very impressed so he called his lawyer who advised him to get us to print the following letter on our web site, along with an apology or he would sue: "This is an official rebuttal to my mention in the "Ring, ring, ring " section. As much as I enjoyed coach Frank Hamblens company the other night, I am by no means "into" the Lakers. This false info must not be spread. I am a fan of the Clippers. Don't we [The Girl Skateboard Company Inc] have enough band wagoners here as it is? I don't want to mention Muellers name, but c'mon. The dude's sooo mid-west, I'm sure he's a distant cousin of Larry Bird. Where's the pride? His place of residency for, what, 10 years was Chicago. Isn't there a reigning dynasty somewhere in that area? I mean it's fun hangin' around Rick and stuff, but he's not going to fire you for throwing up the horns when one of those midwest teams win. Go Medvedenkdork!" >> Tony, Rick called for you. Something about a pink slip? >> WIN TEN FREE TONY LARSON BOARDS! >> Join us tomorrow night in San Pedro for a Girl Skateboards "marketing ploy"! I mean, the Would art show!

QUOTE OF THE DAY: >> What is this? >> A lot of people have been Asking Clivey when the Ask Mikey thing will be up. Clivey usually responds like this: "IT'LL BE UP WHEN IT'S F**KING DONE! NOW LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE, I'M TRYING TO WORK HERE!" but everybody knows that the real answer is "Soon, homey. Soon." >> What, you're not allowed to use the F-word on the Tap all of a sudden? Harsh censorship, bro.

Click here to view the online version! >> Were you wondering if Rick Howard still takes craps? He does! Check out today's RING RING RING for more on this compelling subject. >> The Would art show is this Friday. Don't forget to show up, buy a wooden OG for a hundred bucks then get sloppy drunk, start crying for no apparent reason and tell all of your friends how much you love them. Even if you don't show up to the show you should do that. Unless you're under 21 (or under 19 in Canada) in which case you should probably just stay at home and play Atari.
CURRENT

We're trying to get the idea past Rick, who's driving a van as you read this, desperately searching for Arvedis in every small town from here to Philadelphia. >> No embarassing, incriminating or just plain stupid photos today. Sorry. We were gonna put "retarded" in there with that description but it's not really PC to say that anymore is it? >> Crownfarmer 3 is like a zine kinda sorta that just came out today.
PAST
ENTRY>>
>> Ask Mikey who the hell this guy is, then Ask Nick Tershay why he's been sitting on Diamond ads like this old one that we found behind his desk. >> ARVEDIS IS BACK! SORTA... "I'm
back, man. Well, not in the States, but I mean back on the reviews.
Crazy weeks in my immediate past. I got dumped by that Uruguayan chick.
Turns out she was married, and you're never going to believe this, her
husband is enlisted in the Foreign Legion. I just can't cover my trail
with those guys. I can't tell you where I'm at the moment, but let's
just say it isn't summer where I'm at and this place has the most fucked
up animals on the planet. Over and out, more reviews tomorrow. All's
well, Check out the Tocker's latest reviews. >> Stanislav Medvedenko and more! RING RING RING #17.

Stay tuned for the The Street Pirates™ video preview, coming soon to the Tap? >> Well, if Megan hadn't backed over our new mascot in her Porsche, we would have named him David Lee Sloth. "I'm worried about having a sloth as a mascot, can't we just get a kitten instead?" was the e-mail she sent only minutes before "accidentally" repeatedly running him over. Thanks to everyone for sending in their suggestions for a name, especially Lew. A moment of silence for our lost sloth, please. >> Two new RING RING RING entries for today: #15 and #15.5. >> ASK MIKEY why he sent us this photo of Rickoo on the crapper.

PAST
ENTRY>> >> Two new RING RING RING entries up today. It's probably in your best interest to be reading those. >> Crankers has an art show opening tomorrow at his shop, antisocial, in Vancouver. It's sorta like one of those shows where they get a bunch of different artists to paint on a pair of shoes (in this case, the e's Krank2) but not really, just kinda.

PAST
ENTRY>> >> KOSTON WON THE GRAVITY GAMES. AGAIN.
>> Maybe you saw the ads. Maybe not. Maybe you didn't know that there are about 75 of those wooden Girl logo figures that were handpainted by the artists at Girl. You probably never would have guessed that they would show them in a gallery space in San Pedro. If you thought that then that's really weird cause it's true. So, you probably did know that they would be for sale at the show. If you're so smart then when does the show open? >> Gino's in town, and here's some directions to the Girl/Choc demo this Sunday. >> This day in history: RING RING RING #5 click over there -----------> >> Liam Bishop stopped by the office today as promised.
