MOTORHEAD 01.29.12

The fellas and I road tripped it down to Lowell, MA on Sunday to check out the Motorhead show at Tsongas Arena. I lived in Lowell for four years and it was great to get down there and visit for a bit. I wasn't old enough to hit up bars when I lived there so I was pretty stoked to grab a couple or six beers before the show. My friend Tony Le who lives in Lowell met up with us and brought us to this really cool spot that has free pool.

This is Tony chilling at the free pool spot.

These are my friends I rolled down with. from L - R, Geoff, Nate and Jimmy.

Motorhead! They played a super short set but I was so hyped they played Damage Case. It's one of my favorite songs.

Look at the drum set in the background! Mickey Dee shreds it!!

Megadeth headlined the show. I never really listened to these dudes before but they were pretty good. Definitely talented with some good songs.

Dave Mustaine was rocking this beast of a guitar when the show opened.

It was one hell of a night with the homies! We all got home safe despite run ins with the cops, gallons of booze being consumed and traveling out of state. Don't get much better than that.

Saturday 01.28.12

Saturday Night out on the town. Super fun times. Me and
Keegs walked into the bar right as Buggin Out hit the first bass note. It was one of the top bar entrances I have ever made.

Saturday 01.21.12

Checked out the Educated Advocates show at SpAcE Gallery on Saturday night. A large group of my friends were kicking it and it was cool checking out some local rap. These guys were pretty good.

This is a photo of the opening act, The Sandbag Crew.

After the show we hit up Empire for a second night in a row. It's was fun times for sure. Jay and Seavey knocking back some shots.

Friday 01.20.12

My friends looking hella grimy on Friday night. This photo is so tight. It reminds me of a 90's rap album cover.

Here's another pic I took.

This is at Empire We have been hanging out here a lot lately. It's closer than Amigo's and they have $2 Miller High Life Pounders.

This lady was shredding the dance floor. She reminded me of the Old Lady from the Wedding Singer.

Monday Night.

My good friend from way back, Ben Skrzypek was back in Portland for a couple days and I was hyped. I had Monday off so we got to kick it and catch up. I hadn't seen him in years and it was rad to hang out with him again.

I met up with Ben and Shaheen at the Crow Bar around 9:30. We put down a couple beers before poetry night jumped off after which we made a quick exit. So to any of you's that want a forum to do spoken word check out the Crow Bar on Monday nights. Everybody was super supportive of the people that stood up.

We headed over to Novare Res after for a few pints and despite having to be up for work early on Tuesday I couldn't leave. It was too much fun hanging out with the homies! So, here I am super tired on Tuesday night but so hyped on the good times!!!

This is Shaheen and Ben.

This is me and Ben in the beer cooler and Novare Res has a serious fuckin beer cooler. That's probably $50,000 in beer behind us. Shaheen is the manager at Novare and recommended this amazing backdrop for our photo.

ESNC 96 Mentality Video Premiere

We premiered the ESNC video on Friday night at Re-Session skate shop in Portland, ME and it was a super fun time. The shop was packed and I couldn't have asked for a better turnout. Big ups to Gary for hosting the event!

This is one of my favorite photo's to be posted on here. I grew up skating with these guys and for us to all be in one place hanging out after so many years was truly great. From L - R: Geoff Bogle, Me, Dan Foster and Sean Hamlin.

The homies Gary Sabol and Max Greeley.

Here's a couple pics of the crowd.

We went to Dock Fore after to indulge in some $2 PBR's.
This is Dan, Gary, Tone Le and Charlie Field. Tony came all the way up from Lowell, MA with Bobby Parent for the premiere. I was so hyped! They are my super good friends from my days living in Lowell, MA and the surprise visit was amazing!

That's Tony in the background and Charlie and Bobby.

Geoff was chillin, too!

Ben Cironi was feelin the $2 PBR's.

This is me on the left and the homie Josh Talty. He bought me this shot and I really don't ever drink whiskey anymore but I couldn't say no.

This is Sean Hamlin and Dan Foster chillin.

Rosie's Bahhhhh.

I met up with my friend Tim and headed down to Rosie's to grab a bunch of beers. It was cool to catch up with him because he just did a couple reunion shows with his band in Boston and Los Angeles and we hadn't been able to pile out in the Old Port for awhile. The homie Chris Linkovich met up with us, too. The photo below is just of Chris because Tim was eschewing the camera. This is at Rosie's before we went to 80's night at Asylum. 80's night at the Asylum is in the basement and it smelled so bad. It was like hanging out in somebody's arm pit.

Some New Work.

I have been re-designing all the MaineWheels fillers that run in the classified section of the newspaper. These are a couple I did that I really like.

MaineToday Printing.

I recently designed the logo for MaineToday Printing. It is the commercial print arm of MaineToday Media. The 4 blocks on the left represent the 4 color plates used in the color print process. This was one of the most enjoyable logo design's I have created as it only went back and forth a couple times in the development process. If you ever happen to see it around, I made it!

96 Mentality Video Premiere.

Gonna be a fun time. Hope you can make it out.

New Year's Eve 2011.

New Year's Eve was pretty fuckin sick this year. I started the night off down at my friend Dave Labbe's house and met up with a bunch of the homies down there. A good chunk of the Portland skate scene was in attendance and it was a great start to the night.

Some of the crowd at Labbe's chilling early in the night. This is Pete, Liz, Josh and Jay.

Josh has some ill dance moves!

This is Gus putting on some tunes.

Josh, Robin, Matt and Jordan calibrating there beer cans.

Post calibration celebration.

After Dave's we headed to another party down the street. This is Al and Dave.

And here's a bunch more from that party.
