Do you ever go through stacks of show pics looking for yourself? I can't be the only one. I know I do it all the time. I was never in a band, never really roadied for a band so it isn't like anyone ever had a reason to take a pic of my mug. Somehow I still spend way too much time trying to spot myself.

Last weekend was Edge Day (Observed). Ten Yard Fight / First And Ten / Wrench, Clevo and Resist Dudes played. There was moshing, there was stage diving. There was even head walking, apparently. So here goes, where's waldo?

Too much time on my hands? Yeah, probably. Fuck, I love Ten Yard Fight!

Pics borrowed liberally from Dan Future-Breed (great dude, top notch pics) and Manny Minority Threat (I don't know Manny, at least not by sight. He has probably caught the best pic of me though).

I recently sold my 2001 mkiv matchstick red GTI. Sad but true. I now have some leftover stuff that I need to pass on.

And I just realized I have a ton of parts that will do nothing for my IY 20th. I'll post stuff up here and probably later on craigslist, but you guys are getting first dibs.

Monster Mats. Used 2-3 seasons. Yours for $40

3 back seat head rests (how'd I not see these on sell back??), $30

Matchstick red touch up paint pen and at least 2/3 full 12.5 oz spray can (I was going to work on valances but never got around to it. Just did the rear emblem and some touch up on the front). Not sure how full pen is. $20

Stock side markers, no bulbs. No idea where they went. $5

Let me know. Best offers accepted. Also looking for some winter wheels for my IY. I have steelies but no rubber. Let me know.

Check the Contact page for my info. Hit me up on aim if you want too, howsyredge.

Peace

When I was a kid, I was a pretend skate rat. I had a nash board and couldn't ollie over a penny. It was a little sad. That didn't prevent me from skating up and down the driveway for hours on end, of course.

One day, I went semi legit. And it was only because of the sneakers my mom brought back for me on a work trip. Normally, I would wear some basketball kicks (despite never playing basketball). Not Jordans. No way. More like Pony and British Knight. We were never well off, but one time my surprised me with some new kicks. The Airwalk Lava 600. My mind was BLOWN away.

These sneakers were the epitome of awesome. You gotta remember, this was the mid 80s and everything neon was cool. Most of my shoes were black and white as Pony and BK were pretty chill sneakers. These nearly jumped out of the box at you. And the lace save -- Unheard of technology, for sure. Pretty much space age quality stuff.

I wore the hell out of these shoes and then they got sent to the basement. Where they stayed for years. It wasn't until my dad redid the basement back in the late 90s that they were tossed. I wish I had gone back and scooped them pre-trash run. oh well.

If anyone has a pair, hook a brother up. Peace!

Earler today, this image came to my inbox from a person I didn't know and have never spoken to before. Also, the email was lacking any text, it was just the pic. Hell, it didn't even have a subject line -- I initially thought it was spam.

I replied to the dude asking what it was and why he sent it. Here is his reply.

haha i don't know, i made this a year ago and i always forgot to send it youi was bored that day i think.
you like it?

Awesome! Keep the hand drawn pics flowing.
