UCSC ska show !! JOKES !!

Shot by: Lewis Ingham Lewis. I am the old guy skipping around like a fruit loop. The Jokes are providing the heavy heavy sound. This was back in May on Friday the 18th (2007). It was lots of fun. The label in the video is wrong. The band here are The Jokes. They are from Fresno and kick ass. Justifi are from Livermore. They kick ass too.

Saturday afternoon at CSP with Chris and Tyler

My knee is messed up, so my skating session was short. Chris still has a bad hip, but he was out anyways. He and Tyler were messing around in a mellow session. There are some good shots.

Lorraine by Bad Manners at Corona Theatre June 17 2007

This was an epic show for me. The first time I have ever seen Bad Manners. I had been waiting 25 years! I drove down to see the Sunday SoCal show in Corona. Dan told me the Fresno and Ventures shows suffered from a serious lack of fans, maybe 50 for each. At this one there were close to 200 people and while it wasn't sold out, it was nicely crowded. Monkey sounded great and was well received with lots of dancing. Bad Manners kicked ass. They played all the songs I wanted to hear, and a couple of cool covers I didn't expect. Buster sounded great, jumped around like a man possessed, and stuck his tongue out just enough! The whole band seemed to be having a great time and so did the crowd. If you are going to see one of the upcoming Monkey/Bad Manners shows, then you are in for a real treat. My only regret is that my "good" knee is messed up and I had to dance on one leg. Highlights included seeing the Monkey horn section doing the can-can, dancing with Donelle to "My Girl Lollipop", and getting Buster to sign my album cover from ~1982.

Follow the leader

Friday 6/15/2007 around 4:30 PM at the new Santa Cruz Skatepark in Santa Cruz, California. I had fun taking pictures of these two guys. The sunglasses on the small guy are hilarious. It was really hot and my knee was messed up so I didn't do much skating.
