Uptown Tragedy and Beauties and Beasts

 

    So I finally got my hands on a copy of Prevent this tragedy. It didn't come from the boys at Thrasher though. Chad Steeves, the local Converse rep, came through Uptown this past Wednesday to do a little screening of the video. He brought along a few extra copies of the DVD which were scooped up by anyone lucky enough. Chad also came equipped with a couple cases of Garrison Red and Amber which set a nice tone for the evening. Mark Regimbal of Shred-o-rama drunk bar singing fame was also in town doing DC stuff. He was at dinner with his parents earlier in the night and they so graciously gave him a bottle of Captain Morgan Private Stock. Fancy shit with a cork...no twist off here. He whined about the bottle breaking in his luggage so he just left it to the vultures. From what I hear that was the cause of a major puke fest at Nick's place. I am sure Jermaine was stoked to wake up to a living room filled with puke and skateboarders. Ahhh roomies. 

  As for the video...it was Hella!....Hella Sick...Hella gnarly!!! and Hella late!!!!!! But it was worth the wait. Well I did watch it a few times from some internet version but it just wasn't the same. Either way go sniff out a copy of your own wherever you can. If I do still end up getting my copy in the mail maybe we can have Nacho's blog's first ever contest? hmm....maybe. 

 Thanks to Proskates and Chad Steeves for hooking us up with a winter blues remedy. These cold ass months make for sparse social interactions. It was nice to see everyone. Oh we also watched Beauty and the Beast part 2 which is worth a look see as well. It's good to have these little premieres here, because no one seems to be putting out local videos anymore (Plumber). Anyways....fun night, good peeps...wicked accordion tunes. Hope to do it again soon.
