Headed to NYC. Tonight people. Red eye-ey-eye.

Here's one from Kat's birthday. Happy birthday to Kat and Happy birthday Jayj coming up.

Happy birthday to all and to all a good night, except us.

U Jump

Ski Day went down last Friday and let me tell you Waint, Shredder and I hit up that U Jump a little.  And by "a little" I mean huge airs to fakie.  Just like a cat.  Don't ya just wanna crack out on some traverses and end it with that sunny pipe?

So I got an idea. Lets mix the Beatles with some rap.  Never been done right? Wrong cat! Not usually big on these things but I did like this one: Enter the Magical Mystery Chambers

And guess what else I liked cats?  Its called Wave Twisters.  Don't watch before bed. And if you made it through that here's another. Say ahh. 

Count down to NYC trip: 19 days!!! Freaking out cats.

And Aesop is coming to CO before the trip. So stoked for that as well. Fox theater. Not ideal but I will do my best to be there.

And Hot Chip releases a new album next week cats!!!!  So much excitement going down.

Also exciting news:

Thanks for all who came to Max's party and all who gave Max a present or wished him a happy birthday.

Here's one.

Wanna Learn?

Thank you Bow!  Thanks for doin it. The kid is so good to have around. If you know him you know he's super smart and has an insight to most topics. (and you probably already know about the trivia)  A while back at work Bow inherited the trivia sign.  Also a while back at work, our row was dubbed "Hood Row". So, we're sticking to it even if we are not so "Hoodie" anymore. Danielle's mad about it but that's ok. That said, I now present to you...

HRPTUAD son! Wanna learn? Check your knowledge, do it, exercise your brain...almost daily.

One Degree

Super cold lately son.

Yeah and some jazzy drove across our lawn. Classic. Like the time when some jazzy TP-ed my car in high school and my jazzy Dad decided to document it. Thank for that. Bad karma is coming back to me. Funny.

Holiday Party last Friday and it was AWESOME! (I guess) A lot of drinking went down.

Here's one and here's another.

If you read Draplin you saw this one: Dude decorates his basement with $10 worth of Sharpie fumes. Pretty cheap minus the labor for a custom look.

Bordo Bello this Friday! This event has turned huge son. I have seen a couple of the boards coming in and there is defiantly some good wood to show. More to come on this.

More Skulls

Bordo Bello is coming up and I turned my board in yesterday. Above is a sneak peak. I chose to do a wood cut technique. Can't wait for the show. Come on down if you are in the Denver area on Friday December 11th.

Welcome Back

RP is back and Im glad.  He requested me to redo the name tag using the old formula which consists of skulladay font and lyrics from coffee. My pleasure son.

Bowling update: League is over and Bow & the Arrows got 2nd to last place, but....  I held the handicap series high the whole season. 512 (2 game score). Sandbagger. What ever that means. 136 average for me so not great... fun though.

Check out section:

Wildlife set. Love this style.

And these bikes are my style part 2

And BORDO BELLO son!  I can't make up my mind on what to do.

"It smells like some thin else in here"

Black Mamba

I bet you would like to see what 4&5 year old basketball league looks like. Well here you go . From way down-town bang. Talkin about practice (and games) playoffs. playoffs.

The above is from a Play-Doh session earlier today.

Wait, what day is it?

Check that out: 285 salt-lick. honk honk.

Halloween has past and thats why I say wait. First day back at work today after the Staycation #2 of 2009. Got my hands dirty with a lot of projects lately.

Halloween BMX video by sent in by Zietz. I guess it's one of his buddies that put it together.

Let it Snow

As you probably already know its snowing a lot. Feels good.

Stayed home yesterday and did some shoveling, estimating and snowskating throughout the day.

Halloween coming up. We will be heading up to the BV.

Got a couple a days off so stoked for that.

Bordo Bello is coming up in December.  Here's last year's boards.

Pretty excited about this event.  A couple peeps from our studio are participating. 

A wonderful new world of sedan wagon living.

Bonneville Safari.

Get behind a truck and forget about it.

Green Mountain (tumbleweed hill)

We did a little hike yesterday. Max brought his sketch book along. We stopped periodically so dude could sketch some birds and flowers and take some notes. Warm wind. Great day.

Update

Hi there. As usual a lot going on lately.

Max is really getting those 5s dialed.  He is developing at light speed since kindergarden started. Basketball league coming up next month for dude.  Just got our halloween costumes yesterday. Max is going for D. Vader and Miss is going for a kitty. classic.

Bowling league started this week. Team name - Bow & the Arrows.  Shredder and I came up with it. Aaron Bow being the leader of our team.  He's not all the way siked on the name but we love it. Stay tuned for a tshirt graphic.  Gunna get the curve dialed this season.

Confirmed our trip to NYC this week.  We are going in late February.  

Art Section:

Check out ARE apparel. Heather's got a good thing going here.  Western snaps plus hoodies plus graffiti plus mentoring equals that is awesome.  Good eye Heather.  

Fred Zietz, check his site.  He does sculptures using car parts.  Also see the previous posting of when Max snapped some picts over at his house.

Bordo Bello. Beautiful Board art show coming up.  I will be participating.  My friend Elysia is organizing this.   

Somebody graffitied up our Billboard already.  Who does that?  Seriously. Somebody on Alameda and Sheridan thats who. We have received mixed reactions on this one.  I have to warn you the photo is pretty creepy and for the record we don't abuse our children.  For a good cause people, volunteer, donate.  Twas an enlightening experience. Famous. Also see the print ad version in 5280 and Westword.  More picts to come of the boards. The tagged one was taken by the Art Director's cell phone as he drove by in the car. 

Hot Wheels is coming out with a Delorean. Max and I have kind of layed off the Hot Wheels, but this may bring us out of retirement. Here's an e b a y sale for a japanese version.  Its hard to find a picture of the US version to come.  

Lastly:

Please keep Ryan Hulsey in your thoughts and prayers.

Look closely to the neighbor-hood jump. We built an addition to compliment Jordan's kicker and pieced this together.

Sorry for the delay people.
