CURRENT ENTRY > JUNE 06, 2001 : : >> The new Royal Skateboard Truck site is up and running. Get some Flash before you go. Props go out to site master, Rob Abeyta for the design and navigation job. >> By now you've heard of "Hawk" the book, right? Well, the same publisher that got Tony to pen that bio has been talking to... ERIC KOSTON. Believe it. Working title? "Cock." >> Keenan, Jeron, Johnston and Gino filming in New York with Ty Evans this week. Footy accumulating slowly for the upcoming Girl Family vid. >> Girl Family matriarch, Megan Baltimore spotted shooting an all day scene for the upcoming Spike Jonze feature film, "Adaptation." Role? Pissed off waitress. The company of actors on this one includes unknowns Meryl Streep and Nick Cage. PAST ENTRY > MAY 25, 2001 : : >> This just happened last night... KOSTON WINS THREE TWS SKATE AWARDS Including Skateboarder of the Year. Wow. Can you possibly be more on top of it than Koston right now? Here's a little behind the scenes gif from Girl's Staci G. -- maybe soon we'll have a shot of Rick Howard's enthusiastic antics. >> Damn. Apparently Crail Tap wasn't the first site to do a "Randoms" thing on the web after all. We were put straight. Sorry folks, we will attempt to be more original in the future. >> Full court, 5 on 5 b-ball games going on over at Podium's new Torrance court in the evenings. A basketball court and no ramps? Come on guys... put that mini half in. PAST ENTRY > MAY 21, 2001 : : >> Can't recall if we ever put this up in the official Crail mag (as opposed to these here Randoms). Here it is anyway > Girl Family nicknames. >> That's pretty funny... Element has a "Randoms" section too. "Current : where the news flows like water." Hah, ha, ha, we get it -- current, water, flows... Well, damn if 411 doesn't have a "Randoms" too! Wow. That's a lot of reading to keep up with the current news. Oh we've done it again -- we are such smart-asses. Our apologies. >> Danny Garcia rides for Lakai now. Watch for his first ad soon. PAST ENTRY > MAY 18, 2001 : : >> THIS IS THE FLOW. Here's the invitation for the Girl Skate Co's art show at the Vleeshal in Middelburg, Netherlands. It includes the likes of Girl Art Dump members Michael Leon, Tony Larson, Rob Abeyta, Andy Mueller, Andy Jenkins and Rick Howard (Megan Baltimore is also due to make a surprise visit, shhh). Download, print it out and get your plane reservations together -- it opens on June 17th and stays open for about 2 months. PAST ENTRY > MAY 16, 2001 : : >> Speaking of Koston editing video on the road (see below), he's all over the new ibook ads on Apple's web site. How's the photo incentive work for this one, Mr. Howard? >> Girl Family Creative Dept showing up in various publications of note lately : Relax from Tokyo and Paper from New York. Crail Tap reviewed in Tokion. And let's not forget about Skateboarder voting Crail the 26th (or was it 13rd?) best thing about skateboarding. >> Rumor is that MTV is scared of the lyrics in the Milk's "Knife Song." It was due to be on the Jackass Soundtrack CD, but the words are makig them balk. Hmmm. It is true corporations have no sense of humor. Our guess is the days of Jackass itself are numbered. Picture all the nervous execs cowering, worried about their cars, homes, country club memberships, electronics... PAST ENTRY > MAY 14, 2001 : : >> Congrats go out to long time Chocolate Flow Teamers, Chris Roberts of LA and Ricardo Carvalho from Brasil.

Watch for coverage in an upcoming Crail. PAST ENTRY > MAY 01, 2001 : : >> Apparently, there's still talk about Guy and his "fallout" with Girl. Well, it's just not true... rumor mongers keep your traps shut, or at least spread the TRUTH. >> If you've got small feet, or you're under 10 years-old, rejoice... Lakai is bringing on the kids' sizes. Late 2001? Not sure, we'll keep you informed. Also, Girl working on a mini Koston shape (The Mini Cock?)... True, true. >> Check your local shops soon for about 6 new Girl t-shirt designs. Here's a sample... >> Eric Koston's hauling around a Mac G3 Powerbook and cutting his own skate films. Even shooting video. We saw one he made after a recent trip to Japan for Es. Dope. Crail is trying to con him into giving one up for #5 (coming sometime in early June. Maybe).
