We get all kinds of weird emails here. In this one, some girl named Emanuela sends, "I would like Diego Bucchieri's email because I want to tell him about probabily relationship!!!" Check it out
A Random Butcher Stalker. She's cute, therefore I have asked her to send more photos. I'll share when she replies.

Santa's bad elves are

taking it hard in the ASS for the last week, which explains the lack of the regular silly crap you see daily here. Things are almost back to normal.

Last time I said "the sale starts at midnight," a bunch of shoe nerds were here at the Skatepark at midnight waiting for us to open. Sorry about that. The sale starts at midnight on the website. The Shop still has normal hours. So, now there's another sale that starts tonight at midnight.
From Saturday at 12:01am through Sunday at 11:59pm, we are having another sale.

Turns out
skateboard resume kid rips. He hardflipped the 9 stair at Brooklyn Banks, nollie flipped a big five, and has good lines. I guess he's using his footage for something so I can't show it to you. If you're not in Tampa for Tampa Am, don't forget that it will be live on the web like most of our events are these days.

Here's one that's getting a little too common.
A skateboard resume to get you in Tampa Am. That was sent from a place called Xtreme Funktion. Yeah. People still use that word? His video's on the way. Think he's going to make the cut? Wish I could publish all the other ones I get. People tend to get upset when I do that.

One of the "I want to be in Tampa Am" videos I watched today had a slo-mo ender which included a full blown patty cakes crab walk. It was a frontside ollie off a bank. With a helmet on. Yeah. You won't see him in Tampa this year. Drew Windon, however, is getting a spot. He's another unsponsored guy that's killing it. Check out Drew's video. Front feebs front 180 out, back smith kickflip out, and tall switch crooks. See you here, Drew.
Thanks, Binky!

Can someone please hire us for an event in Barcelona? I need to make it there to ollie that bump to bar before I get too old and fat. I'm seriously starting to worry about that.

When Tampa Am is this close, my inbox is flooded with "I want to be in Tampa Am" emails from all kinds of randoms. Every shop and local bro skate company thinks their riders are the best. Same with all the moms and pops trying to get their kid in. The only way to tell is by watching video footage. So, I've been watching a lot of pretty terrible stuff lately. It's nice to see a damn good one come in. Who is Zach Funk? I don't know, but he sent me a damn good video which got him a spot in Tampa Am 2008. Update: Oops, the link works now.

Here's the
details on the SPoT Ghetto Christmas Party. It's 18 and up on December 22nd at Crowbar in Ybor City. Speaking of Christmas parties, don't forget how easy it is to crash corporate Christmas parties. This weekend is prime time for that. Get your best threads on and lurk downtown. There's a raging party with free food and booze in every single ballroom in all the hotels. This is my third year doing this and no one has ever said a word. Good times. Merry Christmas!

The dude who blows smoke in cancer's face sent over a few photos: A Random Sunday at the Bro Bowl.
Last few times I've been to the Bro Bowl, there have been no sketchy activities going down. I bet that's just a coincidence with the projects getting torn down next to it.

Congrats for Nike Nick are in order. Before we announce the baby's stats, we are keeping in this new tradition we're starting and announcing our own stats. I'm coming in at 139 pounds on a good day, about 5 foot 6 inches, I think. Nick is coming in hot at 286 pounds and 6 foot 1 inches. Check
