R.I.P. Blanche Malkoski

Looked at my phone on the way from work to the "Party Sharks" first basketball practice yesterday and saw a couple in coming calls from Pops so dialed him up. "What's up?" "Nana died yesterday." WHAT?
Ole Blanche was 91, still living at home, by her self, driving, cleaning, cooking, living her life every day and making sure she caught every episode of Judge Judy. My Mom said that the neighbors saw her that day outside trimming the hedges, then after a couple of non returned calls the authority's found her down in the hallway with her sunnies on.
The last few summers of us going home she always said that she lived a good life and it was time to move on. She definitely wanted to go out like this too, quick, easy and on her own terms. I picture her looking up in the air like Fred Sanford always did and saying "John, I'm coming to see you."
Blanche was one hell of a Nana. Opinionated, strong, set in her ways and very loving. My two little ones stood at attention around her like they never do. There was this air of respect that neither of them knew they were showing around her, but they always did.
My Mom always printed out the "articles" from the Tackledbox she deemed appropriate for Blanche to read. And Nana kept a scrap book of all of them. It was a good way for her to keep up with her only Grandson, Grand Daughter and Great Grandkids doings. She'd show me and say "here read them." Uh no thanks, I wrote them Blanche. Anyway, I hope Mom prints this one out and puts it in there as her last entry.
I'm gonna miss you Nana. She was one Old Person I really enjoyed hanging out with. Thank you for all of the life lessons you shared with me. I love you. J.P.

Coverage

5 CAPiTA covers this season. Not bad for the little company that might.

Happy Birthday Milan

Sweatys kid turned 6 this weekend. Being the ONLY child that he is, the parents spoiled his ass and made the rest of us cheap asses look...cheap, by throwing the ultimate kid bash at a go-cart track.
Lil guys geared up and waiting to jump in the rigs.
Mac asked me after doing his two rounds of stunt car driving "Dad, can you sell the boat and buy us two go-carts?"
WHAT? Lil fucker got his name on a custom ass 95 Microscope? WTF.
Gums missed out big time as they have bitchen Adult Cars and he left before things really got good. The cars do 30+ on slick ass cement. All the dads got in a group and there was like 12 of us on the course at once. Plus two drunk ass Russian dudes that kept trying to T-Bone anyone and everyone. I made that Ruskie pay. Bigtime. America...FUCK YEA.
Piss Pup, these days when we leave the house, have to lock the Boar in the basement so he doesn't piss on the beds, couch or where ever else the old fucker wants too. I see him 6' under real soon.
Happy 6th Milan.

Congrats D

Skiers Daron Rahlves and Glen Plake Among Six Elected to the U.S. Ski & Snowboard Hall of Fame as Honored Members of the Class of 2010

Even happier days

Loving it. Actually hating it. Kinda hung today after a little birthday sauce with PK and one more Tonto last night. PK boxed up a new look for me. AFFLICTION baby. Get the fuck out of my way now or I'll ground and pound your ass. BITCHES.
Nice to come into some home cooked love though. Mel, baked me up some of my favorites. Peanut butter cookies. Blues lady, Katy whipped up some brownies and Gumby gave me a machete (?).
Then of course, thank God for the W.W.W. As birthday wishes coming in from all over the intrawebs is dope. But when pictures are attached, it's better. This one from Martino and family only gets you stoked to shred.
Old Wave Rave workmate Wilson sent me this. Kicking as in CX. What ever that is. He looks stoked though.
Then you got to love camera phones. My single buddy back east forwarded these to me with specific instructions. Photo's came in from Revere, as in Revere MA, where chicks go to the beach in heels and the dudes say "I'm from Revere and you're all queer!" "All these photos were texted to me, just got some way better ones last night. Don't email around, god I love bitches."
Ok, no forwarding. Got ya.
Thanks for all old balls comments and shit. Happy Friday.

Coal site is LIVE

And the WIEN's STILL killing it in the kids section. Nice site Brad. Peep it.

Happy Days

To ME! Fedex arrives and drops off THESE bad boys for me from Luke! Damn. Shit even makes Pennywise sound good. Ohhhhh ohhh oh owwwwww!
Then this showed up from the Postal Service. Mmmmm. They were supposed to be peanut butter cookies, but Party Kate's head must be spinning from mom'm it while trying to be a school kid again and didn't realize cookies + soft packaging = delivered mess. Still good with milk though.
Physical gifts are always good, but I get most stoked from this one. One of my boss's from Steamboat, way back when. The DUDE who gave two fucktards (Korn and I) a shot at our own shop when he should of given us a ride to AA, has religiously hit me up every year on my birthday. Either a phone call, email or now that he's Faceblasting, he kinda blew me up there. "Fuckin facebook sent my last message before I wrote it! Anyway, I'm not missing your birthday this year, even though it's next week! My Outlook file has shifted all my dates by a couple of days so I have to do a little guessing as to exact dates. Is the 15th correct? All is well in the Rockies, getting ready for the big SNOW. I hope you and the family are all well. I miss seeing your mug! Keep in touch. Lief " Love it, thanks Lief.
Now if only my parents would call their ONLY kid on his birthday, life would be good.

When it rains it pours...


2 Union Binding covers, 1 more with Flanigan, then 2 Capita Cale Euro covers, Brisse's TWS cover, Alexs Euro snowboard cover, Hadar got a fashion mag front and now Jess Kimura's got the Snowboard Canada cover. Get out the umbrella's shit's getting wet!

All the way from Hungary...


mashKULTURE "Rooted in Budapest since its founding in 2006, mashKULTURE.net has been adamant in establishing an underground mainstream of its own, not only in Hungary, but the world over."
You know, I was in Hungary once. In Budapest and it was fucking GNARLY. We were at this "bar" and after two hours dude presents us with a bill for $2G. We're like fuck you buddy, then all of a sudden 3 guys in all black, with stocking caps and all pull us in the back room to negotiate. I look over at the other dude, and tell him to turn his Heiny bottle upside down and get ready to break that shit open and stab the dude in the neck. But big boss man that we were with had a way with words and negotiated our retarded $2G bill down to $1G and then made the dude let us drink on the house the rest of the night. We showed them. Probably drank $200 worth of booze too. Hungary...eat a dick would ya.

Oh and click on the Monday's Moff on the right side. Interesting stuff.

Don't really have an intro for this


But well worth the watch. Thanks Airbender.

Minny to Chi Town

Last week I did the Minneapolis to Madison to Milwaukee to Chicago loop with ole Em Dog. Lots of road time, lots of eXpensive Emmett style restaurants and lots of good times.

Hmmm best way ever to start a meeting with our BIGGEST account. "Hi, I brought you some goggles, tee's, bindings and a 12-pack of Session Lager!"
Dude was stoked with it, then calls the big boss man, who rolls down the hall with this bottle that is freezing cold. Throws it on the table and says, "lets have a meeting." Skane is a day wrecker.
Moda 3 is looking TITTIES. Plus they sell Pro Keds. Fuck Vans. Seriously.
This my friends is a Juicy Lucy. World famous burger action.
World class taste from a shit hole. My kinda eating.
Klocker pounding down some Als Italian Beef. He had a Chicago Dog for an appy.
Chicago Ski Show. Tom Crow going ape for VZ.
The C3 / Volcom booth was on point. Free posters, stickers, Dan Brisse and YouTube internet superstars only added to our booth traffic.
Brisse burger signing shit up. They played Nowhere on the screen and it was cool to see dads come back for an autograph after they realized what a Manimal Dan is.
Dan drinks cokes. I do not. So when I came back to the room after drinking what I do with Emmett, we found Transworld Cover Boy sleeping between the beds. Humble Dan.
