Haven’t blogged in a while… sorry?

I haven’t made a post in a while and I apologize… whether it’s too late or not. I guess I’ve done a bunch of exciting crap that I should’ve documented or took pictures of. But alas, I failed.

I went to the ICA with Christina to see the Shepard Fairey exhibit. I’m really on the fence about that guy. I wanted to write a post about that really badly but I kept reading what some people had to say about his work and it just started to bum me out. I felt like I had to cite sources and make opinions if I was going to make a post about it so I panicked and just continued to not blog. His work is really clean and nice looking… but I also think that maybe all his stolen images are just because he lacks artistic ability. I think people just give him too much credit and think of him as some sort of American hero. I don’t know what he is. I will let you make your own opinions. The exhibit was impressive. I’ll say that. Go and see for yourself. You be the judge. All I draw is shitty monsters anyways. 

It’s hard to remember what the hell I do when I don’t write about it or take pictures. 

I’ve been skating with Chris a whole lot lately. Plym Park almost daily. We’ve started going later at night too, cause there is a light at the park now that gives off just enough light to skate some stuff. Plym Park After Dark. We planned on having a Plym Park session one night last week (I think it was last Friday night) and it ended up raining. We got real bummed for a hot second. But instead of crying about it… we drove to Allston and skated Jackson Mann from 11:30pm until 4:00am. This is what came from that night…

Other than constant skating we have been bowling a ton! I would say it’s the next best thing to skateboarding.

I went to see Lucero with Marissa, Kevin, Jacqui, and Bruce the other night. It was amazing. They played for almost three hours. Ben Nichols is incredible. If you haven’t listened to or seen Lucero I suggest you do ASAP. That guy never fails to bring me to tears.

Went to the South Shore Plaza mall to watch Andy “Mac Attack”/”Yellow Helmet” MacDonald do a Bern helmets mini-ramp demo with Nora and another ripper today. Chris, Oliver, Nora, and I shredded the Braintree skatepark after we left the mall. It started to rain so we all parted ways. I headed to Somerville to meet up with my brother for dinner and then called it a night.
