Went down to Brian Boru's with Jay Brown and grabbed a couple beers. Mo met up with us and we had a solid crew. The bar staff is cool as shit but the clientele sucks. There was ONE cool person in that ENTIRE bar besides us. It was a girl named Stephanie out with all her co-workers from the law firm they worked at. She had way more fun chilling with us than the stiffs she came with. Oh shit, I just remembered, I worked the door at this place one night. I walked up and sat in the chair the doorman uses and straight up started carding people. Haha, it was super ridiculous and I did it for about 15 minutes until the real doorman came back around. Then I just went in and drank beers.

This is Mo and Jay. The heater in the background was basically a big ass hairdryer. It was like standing in a hot ass wind tunnel.

After being completely nauseated with Boru's we headed down to Amigo's and then Joe's New York Pizza at closing time. This is a photo of people fighting in front of Joe's. Some girl tried to punch this dude but right as she went to punch the guy she started skidding on the snow. She skidding about two feet and ended up right in his face and they made up. A bunch of other people jumped in though and this is that part of it.

Another photo of the lil' scenario.

Sundaaayyyyyy Night.

I was tired as all hell on Sunday after being up until 4am on Saturday and then getting a phone call at 8am on Sunday. It was one of my old school friends so I wanted to pick it up and catch up with him despite being half asleep. Guilty parties shall remain nameless but my buddy was telling me stories of spiking peoples shots of whiskey with acid and living in a squat house that is so hooked up, it has a fuckin NetFlix account. Seriously, who else squats in a house that has a fuckin NetFlix account, 60 inch flat screen TV and is pre-furnished?

This is Mo Petit and Tim Cossar all up in Amigo's. I once saw Mo open a walnut in Bull Feeney's by head butting it. He also entered Amigo's one night back in the day by "Superman Diving" over the fence. It got it him banned forever, but I guess forever in bar time is only a week because that's all it took for him to get back in.

This is my friend Scott O'Leary shooting pool. Scott and I go way back and I'm stoked he lives right down the street from me in Portland.

No Comply Frontside Air.

This is my friend Ammon doing a No-Comply Frontside Air. How sick is this? I've never seen anybody else do this shit.

SEA LEVEL

"Sea Level" is a skateboard video that my friends Elliott Vecchia and Chris Fiftal made and it is completely amazing! A bunch of my good friends have outstanding parts in it and I was fortuneate enough to film some clips with Elliott for the friends section. I was so stoked to be in it. Everything about the video is top notch from the skating to the filming, editing, graphic design and soundtrack.

Last night I attended the premiere at Mass Art in Boston to a completely packed auditorium. I rolled down with Sam McKenna, P1 and Garret Brooks. I was stoked to bring along a squad of Mainer's. It was also great to see so many good friends I haven't seen in awhile! Great vid and great times!

To purchase "Sea Level" click HERE.

This is VERY early before the place got packed. It got to the point where people were standing in the back because there weren't anymore seats.

This is the DVD. I really dig the Graphic Design. Dave DiAngelis did a great job.

It's Not That Cold

This is a promo for a video some of my friends in Portland are putting together. It's pretty sick. Peep it.

SEA LEVEL Video Premiere

The Sea Level Video Premiere is coming up soon. A bunch of my friends are involved in this project. They worked super hard on it and I'm confident in saying it will be completely amazing! Come to the premiere!

Greetings from Portland, ME

Another Night...

Here we are in downtown Portland again. I started the night off at Geoff and Siobhan's place with a six pack a PBR pounders before we went downtown.

This is Geoff Bogle, Margaret Keilty and Raz Sarich in Brian Boru's. I like the bands that play at this bar but more often than not this place is populated with douche bags. If I get enough beers in me I have a great time listening to the cover bands but at the same time I'm prone to intentionally shoulder checking the assholes that walk around in there P-Coats and dress shirts when I get real buzzed. Not trying to be an asshole but it's like why the fuck should I move if the other dude feels like an entitled douche bag walking through the crowd. Fuck them.

Margaret is a champ. She was drinking way more heavily than me and held it down with ease and style. Props Margaret, you drank me under the table!

This is a typical scenario in Portland. Some buffed out douche in a shirt that's way to small for him lurking on some super drunk girl. I'm pretty sure if anything real fucked up was going on somebody would have stepped in because this was right outside of the bar. I'm thinking this was the dudes girlfriend.

What the fuck?

I think this dude is looking at me blatantly taking pictures of this ridiculous scenario.

Really? I don't even know what to say to this.

Went out for a couple beers with Tim on Tuesday. I was still hungover from the weekend but you don't exactly have to twist my arm to get me out to a bar. Our first stop was Pat's Pizza so Tim could grab a bite to eat. It's a pretty rad spot and the food was very reasonably priced. The PBR pints we're only $2 but they we're flatter than the Midwest and a bit warm. Wasn't stoked.

The bathroom at Pat's has flat screen TV's in it. It just screams, "AMERICA!" at you, 'nah mean? I didn't get a flat screen TV until a month ago and these mother fuckers have that shit in the bathroom.

We went to Gritty's after and the couple beers we we're intending on having turned into a couple pitchers. These are my friends Mo Petit, Zac Petit and Tim is chilling in the "See No Evil" pose. There was this dude Travis James Humphrey playing acoustic jams and he fuckin killed it. I paid him a couple bucks to play some Merle Haggard and he knocked, "I Think I'll Just Stay Here and Drink" right outta the fuckin park. It was sick!
My friend Laurie, that I work with was down here, too. We get out of work at 6 and she was shredding beers at 12:00 still dressed in her work clothes. I was really stoked on that.
It was a bit of a struggle at work the next day but fun times none the less. VIVA BEER!

I'd rather laugh with the sinners then cry with the saints.

New Year's Eve 2010 was sick. The weather was super warm in Portland and the whole city seemed to be in a good mood. I knew it was gonna be a fun night when I stepped outside my apartment at 9pm and some dude was puking on the street corner. Hell yeah! My first stop was Dave Green's pad on State Street. As I was walking up, dude's we're battle freestyle rapping and somebody was driving a car on the sidewalk! Haha, so I get up to the door and twenty skateboarders are hanging out drinking on the stoop! I was fuckin stoked to see everybody. Dave had thrown an impromptu video premier for Jimmy Collins' new flick, "Maine & Simple", which is a damn good vid.

So we head inside to get more beverages. This is Jimmy and P-One chillin.

Here is Garrett Brooks, Sam McKenna and Dave Labbe kickin back.

Dave Green was making friends with the "Grandpa's Whisky".

And so was his girlfriend Jessie. They each took multiple chugs off this bottle and seemed stone sober. And then later hungout at the bar all night. They got some stamina.

I have never seen 6 pack holders used in this manner. How rad is this? I had to take a picture of it because it rules!

This is Max Fenwick and Alex Winslow kickin it in Amigo's. We had a huge crew there all night and it was a blast. So many ridiculous situations. At one point some girl starting talking to me in some weird code and then spelled the words on my chest with her finger and then kissed me on the cheek. She then kept repeating, "I can't help you". What do you even do in such a situation? Anyway, hope you all had a fun and safe New Year's Eve as well!
