Hey Mike, I lose my wallet to. I have tons of ways to fix this craptakular habit. But first, I must say, Girl rules. When jocks come up to me and say, "You got a girl on your shirt." I say damn right, you stupid jock. Back to the wallet problem. Mikey, I think you should go punk and get one of those chains that connects your wallet to your pants. Maybe since you design shoes, you should make a "Mikey's a Pimp" stash pocket in it. I think you should beat Rick [in this bet], so send a wallet to me and say you lost yours. We both score. Besides, by the time you read this I've probably already had my wallet stolen or lost it. I could write 100 more ways to fix the problem, but I'm gong to skate my old Girl deck. The one that I'll sell if I win, and actually put some money into my soon-to-be-lost wallet. —Joey Trisolini, Ka'a'awa, Hawaii Remember when they where building the Vietnam War Memorial and everyone was all stressed because it went WAY over budget? That was weird. Anyways, the Girl Full Length video will be out some time at the end of this year (2001). Rick Howard had the ACL ligament in his left knee replaced. There was nothing wrong with it, but he felt it would lend him some added power to replace it. He uses the same machine Chico used when he had his ACL replaced -- the AUTO CHILL. It's a machine that constantly keeps cold ice in pack around his knee. This thing is nice. Rick said the only change he wold make to this fine piece of machinery is to add a cigarette lighter adaptor so he could ice and cruise at the same time. Rick's recovering quickly, fear not. Scott Johnston is still really clean and according to an unnamed Girl female employee, "a gnarly-ass babe." Mike Carroll, deciding not to sweat the big stuff, has broken up the Cloverdale Trio. He packed his stuff and told his roommates Chico and Tony Ferguson in a firm but serious tone, "Sorry fellas, I just need my own space." Chico and Tony will now need a new roommate. If you think you can fill the Lakais of Mike Carroll, send a resume to : Tony and Chico's Third Wheel 22500 S. Vermont Avenue, Torrance CA 90502 Kelly Bird got a new car, but you probably already knew that. One time, when I was 8 years-old, I was in a spelling bee and I misspelled the word FAMOUS. I think I was just nervous. Maybe Mikey Carroll was nervous when he wrote the Girl Skate Facility rules... and that's why some of the words look like they do. Come on Mike, the rule about not being able to do Benihanas is lame -- but I guess it's even lamer that someone named a trick Benihana. The Diamond hardware is in and ready to ship. NOT. Nick Tershay went on a mission to China in order to make some last minute adjustments to his invention. Tony Larson, of the Girl Art Dump, went along to see that Nick made it back okay and that he didn't sport the "doo-rags" while representing the Girl Companies. The hardware will be out soon, just like the Girl video... Speaking of the Girl Art Dump. Those bastards will be flying to Holland in June to put on a Girl Skateboard CO art show in cahoots with the Alien Workshop. So if you're from Amsterdam or Rotterdam or Middleburg... or traveling/living anywhere in Europe for that matter, come check the Vleeshal in Middelburg on June 17th (opening night). Eric Anthony, Girl Sales Rep extrordinaire, must have missed the school documentaries about lung cancer. Or maybe he doesn't care that it'll be hard to take orders with a tracheotomy? Or maybe when he should have been watching those anti-smoking documentaries he was at punk rock shows with Tony Larson, because Tony seems to have missed the documentaries as well. I think the two of them should rent Terms of Endearment and just lay on the couch and reflect on the people that love them and how their 2nd hand smoke may drift into the Girl warehouse and kill their co-workers. Rob Abeyta, Graphic Internet Applicator and Janitorial Web Technician, gets gnarly with people on the phone. Call him and find out... The Lakai tour through Australia was a happy and loving experience (if you're lucky, you'll nab one of the full-color 'zines they're printing up that document the trip). There was a lot of dancing and singing and more importantly, skating. Keenan Milton met up with the Lakai team and, over a three week stay, managed to get more money mailed to him via Western Union than anyone in the history of travel. Keenan is currently advanced on his royalties into the year 2004. So if you want to hire him for birthday party, carnival or demo, send us a letter. Speaking of carnivals, Brandon Biebel, the Mark Madsen of Girl, is still stoked. One of our neighbors here at the Girl Factory called me the other day and asked, "what do you guys do over there?" And I replied, "well, what do you guys do over there?" and he said, "what are you talking about?" and I said, "what are YOU talking about?" Then he said, "I don't have time for games." and I said, "neither do I." and hung up. But now, upon reflection, I do have time for games. Because if I didn't, I wouldn't have played Ask-The-Same-Question-Back with him. Trippy. Spike Jonze clocked in at Girl for a grueling 4 and a half hour work day. The things that kid will do for the company are just endless. He also started filming his second feature film, "Adaptation," last week (March12, 2000). It will, no doubt, make it to theatres before the Girl film hits the shelves... unless Rick gets competitive. On the movie tip -- a skate documentary is making big news in the "legit" movie world : "Dogtown and The Z-Boys" premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and took away some heavy awards. If you are a skateboarder, have been a skateboarder or are thinking of becoming a skate boarder... this thing is required viewing. That's it. See you in the Randoms... |
