For some reason that really bugs me. >> Also helping-related: the pedrosideways show is still up at Walled City in San Pedro and there's still fine art pieces, t-shirts and posters for sale there. Stop by if you're in the neighborhood and help some dudes under a bridge. Oh, and if you have $8000 to spend on art you can buy the entire 8'H x 28'W installation wall.

There are days when we get on a roll and we're not busy doing ten other things and the shit just all comes together and once we post it we're like "Hot damn! That's good. Yep. That just works real nice.". Today is not one of those days. So maybe instead of reading any further you might want to save about one minute of your life and do something better with it. Call a friend, go to the freezer and get a popsicle, do ten ollies, make out with your girlfriend, hell, even turning on the TV and watching a little Everybody Loves Raymond might be better than what you're about to get into here. >> Tito's livejournal entry for Monday, October 27, 2003. >> Did I ever tell you about that one time when my cousin got a rock stuck up his nose and he had to go to the hospital?

was a day that used to be a holiday but now only the mailmen take it
off so no mail came and so today we were expecting heaps of envelopes
filled with cool matchbook entries for the Ruby fashion show tickets
thing. The good news (for us) is that there were a couple of pretty
cool matchbooks and the other good news (for you) is that the "heap"
consisted of only three entries, meaning that the odds of winning two
tickets to the Ruby fashion show/party in January if you send in cool
matchbooks tomorrow are one out of four. Those are good odds. >>

HEADS OF THE DAY: >> Good news! Mikey's Friendster Party got put off until this Friday! Stay tuned for info on how to get tickets/invitations and directions to the party that you can't afford to miss. >> Seeing as Mikey's shit got delayed, we obviously hit up Camp Whatevs. Tomorrow we'll post some photos courtesy of the Kelly Kam, the Koston Kam, the Clive Cam and the Cory Cam. >> We were going to post just a brief mention about the new Lakai zine going up on their site but we don't have much for you today so in order to up the word count and make it look like you're getting more Randoms than you actually are, here's what Bird has to say about it: "Today we went ahead and posted the Holiday 03 catalog supplement ZINE in the ZINE section. Much more editorially in depth than it's Summer / Fall predecessor, the Holiday edition features great articles such as Danny Garcia's "Movie Quotes for all Occaisions", Rick Howard's "Recipe for a Cavity", Cairo Foster's "I Get Around" and Anthony Pappalardo's "Day in the Life". If you don't work at a shop, you've probably never seen the ZINE, so now is your chance to see what you've been missing." >> Keeping on the topic of zines, we still haven't heard any word about that TWS thing. >> BIRD IS EXTREME, ARE YOU? (send us photos of the stuff you've built to skate soon because we're this close to being totally over it): "This is my friend Matt tearing up his mini in the cuts of Connecticut." - Bill >> Sifting right now. Sorry.
PAST
ENTRY >> Decisions, decisions... do we go to Camp Whatevs this weekend or do we go to Mikey's First Annual Friendster Party? On one hand you have Ty Evans telling you "I almost got one of these [for Camp Whatevs] but I decided to go for a full size keg of Bud Light instead. Shit's on ice in the garage... one keg equals 160 beers." and then you have Mikey claiming that he, Nick Tershay and all of their Friendsters are gathering in an arena in Pasadena for a two day rave-like event similar to Burning Man. What to do, what to do... >>
LEW'S NEWS CRUISE #7: >>
SHIT HOT SKATE GOSSIP: >> Woe is Tito. >> BIRD IS EXTREME AND SO ARE YOU (send us the photos of the things you've built to skate): "So we didn't actually build these, they were found in a school yard. In the end we were foiled by shoddy workmanship and what can only be attributed to our state's reluctance to properly fund our educational institutions." - D >> Party.

Spike's Top 5 Ty Evans Sayings: >> Tito just wandered around the house today but he wrote some stuff that you might like to read. Tito Larue: UNCENSORED might not be coming so soon. Sorry. >> Just to
let you know how righteous of a deal you're getting by us giving you
a free modern chairs sticker sheet with every Crailshop
order, let's look at it like this: >> Remember Ask Mikey And Then Ask Spikey? We've received a lot of questions for those dudes and we're about to send the best questions over to them so they can provide the poper advice, but we're making one last call for people who need advice. When sending questions in please remember that not only is Mikey a great skateboarder and not only is Spikey a great filmmaker, but they are both very well versed and knowledgeable in everything to do with life. They've been there and done that and are all knowing and wise on many topics ranging from how to stop your mom from making macaroni for dinner all of the time to what kind of toothbrush is best to how many times you should check that your doors are locked before you leave the house. Before you send in a question about how to conquer your fear of handrails or what camera you should get, you should think about what your REAL problem is. The problem that's at the very root of all the other problems. Mikey and Spikey are here to make you a better person so send them a question if you need advice on anything. >> Evan Hecox's Japan show opens tomorrow night. Also, his first book is being released in conjunction with the show. >> Nate
got out of the hospital and is chilling out until his next surgery,
looking for new hobbies because he's stuck at home not able to skate.
The first thing he wants to do is: >> Camp Whatevs kicks off tomorrow but Clive isn't leaving until Saturday so maybe as a special Camp Whatevs treat he'll write you a short story about the time his uncle dropped his false teeth in the bottom of an outhouse and had to go swimming in there for them. Actually maybe not because that's pretty much the extent of the story. Speaking in the the third person is totally Rick Raymond. Sorry about that last paragraph, Rrick. >> There was a bunch of other shit I was gonna tell you about but I forgot what it was. Sorry.
