Blue Moon!
July 23, 2007
we’re back from ottawa and my car smells like a butt. 10 hours in a car and only eating fast food is not a good combination.
but it was an awesome weekend, and the best stop of the series. props to the whole Eventsing crew for putting together an amazing 5 stop series this year!
we hungout with this dude Matt Canadian on saturday night and hit up Zaphods. pretty cool bar in the market. stop by if you’re ever in town.
matt was supposed to compete in the contest, as he does every year, but in warm ups he took a board to the eye and got a pretty gnarly shiner. his whole cheek swelled up like a softball. this was the next morning.
(click thumbnails)
bummer.
but we took him out and showed him a goodtime to cheer him up.
Bubbalicious was title sponsor this year, and we have to thank them for our blue tounges. we ate way too much of that stuff this weekend, and drank way too many redbulls.
all in all, the weekend was good times.
quote of the weekend:
emil: “do you know what a blue moon is?”
adam: “isnt that when you spread your butt open and show it to someone?”
emil: “no, thats a red eye.”
adam: “oh….”

this saturday is the final stop of the Jack Of All Tricks skateboard series in Ottawa, ON. it’s being held at the outdoor Legacy park, just off woodruff rd. (i dont know if i spelled that right,but i really enjoy poutines)
being the last stop of the series, we’re gonna get down to business on saturday night and light up the city, Friendly styles. tequila shots, casinos, dance party at Zaphods, and i’ll probably end up stealing some fish sandwiches again from some random store at 3am. maybe we’ll all get lucky and get another shot of emil ripping one on his shoes.
hope to see you all there!
your Friendly friend,
Burger.

on sunday at the very end of the day, our tent completely blew over and our slot wall display fell on emils head.
besides that, sunday was good times doing demos on the mini at Blue.
thanks to eventsing promotions, as always for everything.
rain rain…
July 14, 2007
we’re up at blue mountain right now doing demos in the village, part of the street beat festival. too bad we woke up to pouring rain and it kind of ruined most of the day. it cleared up for a few hours in the late afternoon and we were able to play for a couple hours. heres a few shots:
i found this old photo of emil barclay, king of oakville. i think we were 17 or 18 at the time. definately underage though. emil had a few too many pops and had to go outside and do this. i made him wait until my camera was ready. and yes, its real…not peanut butter.
