Love it when TVS gets on a tour always a guarantee of quality. And well done for recognising that it is properly called "football"
-
Love this thread! Awesome work, TVS!

Cuffs aren't nearly as bad as you had feared, seems to me. And I sort of hope you did not vote for the guy whose reception you covered…he's a Republican

was out shooting some the usual lame daily life crap earlier when i remembered i had this really cool event to go to tonight. just a little backround. . .from around 1984 till 92 all i did was skate. i still ride, just not as hardcore as i did in that time period. but skating, for me, is a lifestyle/mindset. it's art, music, life and most of all a way of having fun and staying young. so it was a huge deal for me to meet two legends from my youth.
Lance Mountain- member of the Bones Brigade. if you don't know, then i can't explain.
had a huge impact on my as a skater and just in general
also, this guy- Steve Olson. legend.
\Dale Chihuly piece
spotted some chick in a pair of SDA's
messing around
sooo stoked to meet these guys!

That takes me back….great update tvshooter!

TV Shooter,
Lol at Steve, I have known that guy forever, I think he knows everybody in LA. I am right there with you when you said skating is a lifestyle/mindset. I hardly ever skate anymore but for me I am a skater first everything else second. I have to admit I got angry when skating became "in/cool/mainstream", and for years I didn't want to be associated with all the new kind of people who skate. The whole industry is so "disney" these days it makes me sick.That event looks like it must have been a blast, where was it? That Chihuly piece is SO sick.

catching up from last week. i had an assignment that took me to Tangier Island.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangier,_Virginia
the Island has been desperately in need of a jetty to protect the inlet for some time. the recent hurricane really brought to light how serious the problem is. so the Gov, Congressman and Army Corps engineers were there for the "photo op" ceremony of the signing of the funding to build the jetty. all in all, a great day for the people who live and work there. if you have a minute, read up on the link. it's unlike any place i've been and a real slice of Americana at the same time.
we prepare to leave for the 1 1/2 boat ride after a two hour car ride.
been over 15 years since i was here. it was when Paul Newman was going to make a movie here and the people of the town rejected it, even tho the film company was going to invest millions of dollars to fix up the piers and other things, because the script involved drinking and a "romance" scene. they're pretty religious.
many of the island residents (just under 500 now) use golf carts to get around
old time fishermen
meeting with the politicians
kids got a break from class to attend the event. they sang some patriotic songs as well as a quirky number about the island erosion and the Gov forgetting his crabcake sandwich on his last visit after the hurricane.
a spokesperson for the crabbers talking about how bad erosion has been to the ecosystem

proof that the WT's made it to Tangier!
the famous water tower that you first see off in the distance as you approach the island
the best part of the day! the locals prepared a feast for all the guests. the crabcakes were amazing. there were several crab dishes, all of them fresh from bay. fresh desserts…i called it the Thanksgiving before Thanksgiving. delicious. i love my job on days like this.
