Matt interacts with art 2 of 2
Matt's g-dad Russell Forester made this years ago. This is Lynn's favorite piece. I think I agree.
Matt calls it a day
La Jolla Shores beach, which is just north of San Diego. Matt got the board the day before. It is a 6'10" David Craig. It is gorgeous! Matt got the hang of it very quickly. I tried and tried, but never got up.

20061203 quarter pipe slides
Sunday 12/3/2006 at CSP I learned this slidekind of by accident. It is an alley-op frontside bert, or maybe a bert-rock walk. I like it. Also a couple of decent front side bert-revert slides for your viewing pleasure. The key is the RC DUB golden shirt. Great band making great music. They are from Nebra-SKA!
20061203 mellow almaden valley run
Sunday 12/3/2006 After "the beast of a hill" flatted one of my wheels and kicked Matt's butt, we put on our soft wheels and headed for an eary ride. Mellow and fun.

They played a great set. I wish I had more of this song on the video and it wasn't so dark. Sorry.

The Blank Club Nov3_06 - Surf Cinema, Pollo Del Mar, The Why
Albert took this video. He said I could post it. Thanks Albert!
This review was written by blackjeanschris (http://www.myspace.com/blackjeanschris) I had to leave before the Whys came on. I thought the surf cinema set was good, and the Pollo Del Mar set was really good. I've seen them lots of times and this was one of the best.
Blank Club, San Jose, 11/3/06
SURF CINEMA (surf)
Got there a little late and missed the start of the set. Surf Cinema is a three-piece surf cover band that performs while a video projector runs a party mix reel of car crashes, skateboard stunts, animation and clips from BATMAN episodes and MUNSTERS GO HOME. It's a fun show, and these guys can really rock, like a live, three-dimensional greatest-hits album of surf classics. I'd go see them again anytime. ***
POLLO DEL MAR (surf)
Pollo del Mar's a four-piece surf band, more sophisticated than the rest. I only recognized a couple of covers, Link Wray's "Rumble" and a traditional surf classic whose title I just couldn't think of, but man! The band did a hell of a good job with it. They played a lot of originals, and the songs were pretty good, though they tended to be a little on the long and prog-rock side. There's nothing wrong with that; I just prefer the traditional surf rock style. I could really appreciate the superb musicianship, though. These guys can teach an old guitar a new trick or two, that's for sure. I was standing in the back of the club, and could look up to my left at the dressing room window, where members of the Whys could be seen getting ready for its set. Now and then one of them would perch at the window, paying close attention to Pollo Del Mar's performance, even recording some of it with a video camera. ***

NVS at RSL8 clip 1
November 17, 2006 in Milpitas CA.
NVS came on last after Flip the Switch, RC Dub, and the Curt/Dan thing. opened. I took 2 clips. This is one of them! NVS was super high energy. Walter is nuts. I liked the music much better then I thought I would, seeing how as it really isn't my genre of choice.

Flip the Switch at RSL8 clip 2
November 17, 2006 in Milpitas CA.
Flip the Switch came on after RC Dub opened. Everytime I've seen them, I have had a great time. Lots of skanking with my skater friends this time. The sound was way better then at the Nickel City show. I took 2 clips. This is one of them! After Flip The Switch, NVS closed it out. Curtis and Dan did a short warm-up set.
