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. Stickler’s new documentary is “STOKED: The Rise and Fall of Gator.” It’s 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...

This is creepy...just one letter off.

Grind didn't even crack the top 10. 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.
