The art-on-deck show over the weekend was well attended by skateboarders and looky-loos. The demo on Saturday by Find-and-Grind’s watchless team riders enjoyed an abandoned van in the parking lot of the gallery. Perhaps someone in the audience enjoyed the un-ending reggae coming out of the PA system. Some crappy camera-phone pictures of the event are here.
Roy Scheider, the oscar-nominated star of several movies, died yesterday at the age of 75. His catch-phrase was a line he improvised in Spielberg’s 1975 movie, “Jaws.” It inspired local warp-tourers, Riverboat Gamblers, to incorporate it in their song, “What’s What.”
In that Riverboat Gamblers music video, the astute viewer might recognize the boom-chica-boom go-go dancers shaking it at Beerland. On Saturday night, half of that duo served as a judge at the second-annual Misprint Magazine Mustache (& beard) Competition at Club DeVille. It was a phenomenal event with shaggy competitors.
