Star Wars Galaxy 4 Die Cut Sketch Cards

A few months back I made a post about being lucky enough to participate in the Star Wars Galaxy 4 Die Cut Sketch Card project with Topps Cards ,Suckadelic, and about 40 other artists. This week a box of the finished product showed up at my door.

They have been available since mid February at local Targets.
A kind of funny story is ,When I first found out they had made it to the shelves I ran over to Cedar Crest Target to get my hands on some. I stood over the box like I was 10 years old, but with the mental agility of a ninja. Knowing what the die cuts look like, I knew if I felt each pack I could detect the slight separation of cards and grab the loaded packs. I felt the entire box and made 3 stacks, The "Fo Sho" pile, the "Maybe" pile, and the "Nadachance" pile.
At this point, I got a little embarrassed. I kept thinking about my friends that were excited for me and the project saying they also were coming over to get some and maybe I should leave some winners for them too. I got over it quick and grabbed 7 hot packs. I raced to the car with my booty, felt the most certain pack and opened it, Nothing. Next pack, Nothing.
I quickly realized my pack picking steeze was useless. No die cuts in any of the packs.

When I received the box I gave Adrienne the first pack to open, and out falls a die cut sketch from Sara.

So,in support of the future Bethlehem SkatePlaza, here is the flyer scan.
Stop by Homebase and pick one up to show someone else.
The more awareness we can create the better for us all.

Sunny Daze in the City

After working all Friday and Saturday, Sunday was primed for a day trip.
Ballins, Colbert, Gary, and myself hopped in the car for NYC.
The ride was filled with constant ball breaking, deep conversations about underground rappers, and iPhone mapping.
I guess that's every car ride I take, and this one was just as enjoyable.

Ballins breaking down the finer points of Ol'Dirty Bastard



Although the reports were true, Gary couldn't refrain from a quick flick at the first spot.


Central Park in the spring


Anything you've seen on this is way sicker then it looked


Colbert studies the art of War





MLK Elementary


MVP of the day, Ballins, ballin.


Lil'dogs with leather coats run NY

Over to Pain Webber to sip some cans while Phil killed it.
Ghostly backtail


The final touch to a perfect day was some Korean BBQ.
Not a stop for the unemployed, Ball out till you fall out.



Money well spent


Another can and it was time to get back to ball bustin, Def Jux talk, and emailing.
Thanks for the ride Ballins.

Breaking News and Toes

There is some serious coverage going on in the local blog scean right now. I can't make all the seshies, including todays free Roots show, so it's a welcome boom.

In a effort to continuously bling (Blog Bring) the most up to date info, and cyber'slang, the Nono News Room has a breaking report hot off the streets.

"Nono Blog Local Geechybond, who's recent explosion of coverage regained him Blogroll status, has just emailed a press release to us stating he 'Broke my toe'. All of us here at KnowNo headquarters wish him a speedy recovery.."

A follow up report uncovered that he's down to get some food and drink later, see you there Homie.
Now back to your regularly scheduled blog...

get used to this pose for a minute



Remember, Nono News.
"We might not be there, but we told you first."

Thursday Seshy

I met up with Gary, Colbert, and Wes to get some rollin in.

Colbert got a new whip ( which reminds me of this, Congrats Nik)


he had some hardware trouble that held us up.


When we finally got moving, the first stop.....?


RITA'S FOOL



"What up Dog?" "Nothing. Dragon Stickers."


Then off to some old faithful spots


Wes and I tried to get a little weaving going on but couldn't get the timing down



urban decay or urban renewal


Colbert taking it to the side streets with a steezy tail. No wall touch


Can't chill downtown without chillin on the stoop alittle.


and if your close enough to smell La Placita, how can you pass it up?


Colby went with the chicken and Totis chip sidecart


Then a warm down at Saugy Park. With Ballins and MRE.
You hear? Mike said he got a camera, a fixed gear, and I think a sweater or beard.

Quality Control

Geechy obviously lost the battle but lets just blame angles, timing ,and white balance on that one.

These 2 "throw away" clips prove why Gary is not concerned with anything on the wood but quality.
Really, Fuck yo Blog, and this one for that matter.
Go get it. You No Why He's a Know No Loco.

It was a fun day of skating in Reading.
We drove around and scoped spots. Most of which were under construction.
Colby Street Gap


Kyle with the back biggie


Gary battling the impossible. ( they don't call it that for nothing)


Kurtz threading the needle


Colbert battled rush hour and lost. One deck ran over by a car and we got kicked out so we cruised some more


But not before we saw a man carrying a doll like a woman. I mean he was really holding this thing with love.



Kurtz manhandled the Wallie and kyle worked it out ( check it here) till THIS "DID" EMPLOYEE decided to wake the guy at the building we were skating at to see if he was pissed we were riding.
Then she seemed confused when he wasn't concerned.
I'm petty sure she called the real cops anyway, she was chattin away on the 'talky tough. We got the last couple tries in and dipped.


Off for some slices at Maria's where Kurtz ordered 2. This is the look of disbelief when he realized, just because it was cut in half, it was still one slice.
"I ordered two. You mean I have another one coming?"



We skated by a mural that featured Colbert. When we got there he noticed someone put a band-aid on his ass.
I bet those are the pants in the painting.




Back for the after hours impossible.
Where I had MAD angles.


By the time I got to this one, Gary got mad AT my angles.


Colbert had the high angle on lock
