 An 
        animal-rights group has claimed responsibility for releasing about 10,000 
        mink from a fur farm near Seattle.
 
 and even with this happening...

 It's 
        all over...the wedding, the brunch, the pre-honeymoon in Seattle. All 
        of it is over.
 
 The wedding went better than I could have ever hoped. Thanks to everyone 
        who came out...especially those who traveled great distances. It was amazing 
        to see everyone and have so much fun. The thanks list would be so damn 
        long...you know who you are. Thank you all so much.
 
 Seattle was fantastic. I forgot how much fun that place is. The W is a 
        great hotel, and you just can't beat Seattle food (ok, I have to admit 
        SF takes the crown but still)...Globe, Wild Ginger, Mamas. Amazing. In 
        case you haven't checked out the EMP, 
        make sure to check it out. They even made Disco 
        super interesting (not that disco isn't...but I just liked the Skate Rock 
        and Yes 
        Y'all stuff better).
 
 It seems like I could go on and on...but I really don't like to get too 
        personal on this thing...if you want to hear more drop me a line.
 
 I've also been trying to get started on a DVD of the Portland skate trip. 
        Look for a preview up here very soon.

 I 
        caught this today on Fresh Air on NPR:
 'Filmmaker HELEN STICKLER and former skateboarder KENNETH PARK. Sticklers 
        new documentary is STOKED: The Rise and Fall of Gator. Its 
        about former skateboarding star Mark Gator Rogowski, who is 
        now serving 31 years to life in prison for the rape and murder of a former 
        girlfriend.' Listen 
        to the full show here.
 
 The whole Gator story is very sad...
 
 That's it for updates for a while...these next few days are going to be 
        something...

 Ireland, 
        as a country, is trying to cut down on drinking. "Heavy drinking 
        causes terrible problems, and there is nothing more anti-social in any 
        neighbourhood than a disorderly pub, where drunkenness is condoned." 
        Agreed, but I'd love to see them try to enforce this one...

        Boo hoo.
 
 In case anyone was wondering...below I say eight parks in three days...and 
        seven are listed. Lincoln City actually has an upper and lower park. Yup, 
        two parks in one. Oregon rules.

 This 
        is going to be quite the month. The wedding. The Portland skate trip / 
        bachelor party. The after-wedding trip to Seattle.
 
 I've been listening to the three songs on the From 
        Autumn To Ashes promo site over and over again. Damn good stuff. The 
        second song,'Lilacs & Lolita' sounds like (one of my old favorites) 
        Lifetime with some Botch thrown in. 9.9.03 release date.
 
 Got handed the new September issue of Transworld Snowboarding yesterday. 
        Yuck. After reading page after page of 'bling-bling' and viewing countless 
        photos of rich kids with stylish long shag haircuts wearing gold chains 
        and posing with their hoodies up, I remember why I got bummed on the 'snow-bro-show'. 
        (That was a mouthful). I remember from 89-97 I LIVED to snowboard. No 
        attitudes, just fun. I watched Upping 
        The Ante last night just to remember those times. Anyway, snowboarding 
        is still fun. The false style is not.
 
 If Ashton Kutcher 
        stars in a Dukes of Hazzard movie, I'm going to kill someone. And 
        Brittany Spears as Daisy? OK, that makes sense...but there's no reason 
        for a Dukes movie. Or a new Texas 
        Chainsaw Massacre film, or Evil 
        Dead film , or even Get 
        Smart.
