Upland Contest 12/5/10.

The annual Upland Pipe contest was held over the weekend. The rain held off most of the weekend, but started to come down hard right at the end of the last heat. Huge thanks to Serna and the Badlands crew for putting on such a fun event. Here are a few shots from Sunday.

20 Years of Bellmar.

Indy Legends and young guns had a locked down session at the infamous Bellmar Skate Ranch to celebrate 20 years of the death bowl. This is the best footage I have seen I a long time.

Weezer 11/27/10 – Pinkerton.

Last night was the second of the Weezer Memories Tour shows which featured the Pinkerton album from start to finish. The first part of the show was pretty similar to the previous night with a few changes that included You Gave Your Love To Me Softly and Susanne which was pretty cool. One thing I didn’t mention yesterday was that Josh Freeze is on drums. Josh is pretty much the reason I ever wanted to play drums, so that made it even more enjoyable for me. Here are a few more point and shoot pics.
