The Leak!

So I decided to leak some of the music for the new video and a sneak peek at the DVD's cover art which is of course inspired directly by the feel of the music in the video.

Starting at the top left and moving clockwise is, Johnny B., Matt Miller, Nathan Woodruff, Mike Sick, and Todd Huffman (Todd doesn't ride).

 

The video below was the defining factor when it came down to selecting music for the video that would give "Up and At Them" a true and timeless feel that I am going for. I think after you watch it you will understand that power ballads still define the cutting edge of music. In fact, no other genre of music since then has been able to capture the beauty and raw power that was so overly produced in the 1980's. In my opinion power ballads will only continue to gain in popularity as time passes, just look at how well off some of the masterminds behind these classics are today, many former band members and front men have cable TV shows!

I'm really glad I didn't just go for flashy looks and what's trendy... it might look like the video below... not on my watch!

Play That Fire.

It's nice out today go outside and play.

There's going to be a full post next monday about our annual party, including directions for the "out of towners", and a run down of the nights festivities. 

 

I also think western NY needs an event of this caliber... Who's with me?

Free Kegs and Ball Sacks!

Best friends?

Spring break is over, wild things happened or didn't happen... The Video is just over half done and photos for the DVD covers are shot (just need to put the layout together), and filming is so far beyond done (FUCK!). I got out and rode five of my ten day break which is a first since last August, and even got to party down with the the Crew (is there a name for our group of friends?) on more than one occasion. 

Party! 

P.S. If you have not caught on by now, this blog is a once a week effort on my part. I'm trying to keep graduating from college a priority. If anyone feels they can match my level of poor grammar and shitty content then hit me up and I'll make you an author. No Joke.

Too Much, Too Much, You Took Too Much!

Being able to ride outside in T-shirt weather for three consecutive days in March is an amazing thing if you live in Upstate NY.

This has been the best spring break ever! I made the trip down from Alaska last Thursday and made it into town just in time to put a few too many drinks to my face. I'm sorry again Benny for puking undigested corn all over your house... Friday and Saturday "MeatStick", myself and the locals cruised around ASS Park for a few hours knocking the dust off... Sunday I took a trip to Rochester and piled some bikes on the rack (thanks Ian), and some buddies in the car and headed out to a larger version of ASS Park called B-Park. Good times this week so far, now I have some video work to get done.  

Meat at B-park. What do I go to school for?

 

A handful of the culprits from Thursday.

Don't forget the Party is coming!!!

Motley Fucking Crue

Wild times in Erie, PA. Motley Crue took over the town and killed it. Everyone at our motel was in town to see the Crue. We started tailgaiting as soon as we got there. The party continued through the night and into the morning.

No one rocks like the Crue!! Fuck yeah.

Video Trailer #2

This is the second trailer for this year's video party that is going down on April 25th.  I know the party is still over seven weeks away, so it will be a couple more weeks before the mass Emails and flyers go out to invite you and everyone else.

Dick Swingers, and Cruel Summer!

Six random things that happened this weekend.

6. Benny's nut sack was fully out while at the bar @11 am on Saturday.

5. Matt got out of the car at red lights to chase a kid on a bike, while only his boxers and holding a cardboard sign with the word "HELL" painted on it.

4. "Why you guys come here?" This was asked by several locals at Fitzpatrick's Pub

3. Ian was calling it quits at 12:45 Friday night, only to end up dancing on every "body" in the next bar.

2. We went for breakfast at 10am Saturday morning. Then we stopped at a bar on the way home. We never got home from breakfast until after 5pm.

1. Shhhhoooooooouuuuuuu!!!

Extra facts:

• We believe the six of us spent the better part of a grand on booze this weekend. Mike spent $240 on one credit card alone.

• I don't have any actual numbers, but I'm pretty comfortable in saying the six of us together consumed more than 220 drinks in two days.

• Each of us had spent roughly 15 hours drinking on saturday.

• I lost my voice at noon Saturday, and it's yet to return as I post this.

• At 6pm Saturday one gallon of ArborMist wine lasted 15 minutes.
  

Check back later this week for more pics, a video or two, and the new Trailer for Up And At Them!

Birthdays and Bird flu

Been Sick as fuck since Saturday morning, so I've been on the down low in order to be up to speed for this weekends shit show. party on!

Lane Meyer ain't got nothin' on this guy.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NATE!!

Drink one for me tonight.

This is a day early but I have to work tomorrow.

El Tres

This is one of my favorite pics of the last few years. Random and spontaneous photo shoot down behind the now defunct Hollands building in Hornell.

Clusterfuck

Thursday nights just aren't the same since shithead went back to school.

daily grind

Not much news this week... School has really cut into my drinking time, and it's been either snow or below zero or both outside.  If you are a steelers fan you're stoked to see them win the big show, if not you probably don't care who won or you feel bad for the Cardinals... The only reason why I mention it is because it was one of the only party days up here. 30 cent wings and $1.75 pitchers gets things done!

Somehow this got over looked on my camera, if someone I was fighting with smacked me that hard I'd prolly do something.

I saw this on one of those blogs that the cool kids look at and was pumped to see a bunch of riding by Bob Edson from Buffalo at the end.  It's awesome to see old friends still shred.

Don't forget to mark your calendar!

Back for School!

Here's a sneak peek at what the opening titles may look like...

I'm back at school after a short be fun break, I lost some weight, and rode a little, filmed some great clips for the video, and only slept walked once!  During my Saturday drive to school my car passed the 100K mark, so I celebrated by speeding for a minute then pulling off the next exit to buy a 30 pack.  Keep checking back over the next couple weeks for more info on what could be the party of the year as well as another video containing BMX riding.  Until then enjoy this Random photo from the AFC Championship game and the video below of gays fighting.

This is the worst non contact fight ever... 

Another Thursday Nite On The Town

I'm not sure these photos need a caption. The pics pretty much speak for themselves. And yeah, Miller just happened to have that sign with him.

Rabbit traps

Yesterday marked the end of another wild ass weekend and the end of winter break...  This time next week I'll be grinding out classes and freezing balls in the tundra like weather of the "north country". 

 Great News!  The Video Premiere Party is now officially, mostly, sorta, might happen on Saturday the 25th of April of 2009. Mark your calendars, cellphones, titties, and dicks for this special event...  The details are still coming together, but I can confirm the party will be at a larger venue and three live bands... Say What?

Tuesday's are now better than Monday's!

Last weekend's jam was decent overall, despite having to drive in New York's rotten ass winter weather and the chilly climate inside the skatepark.

 Cheers to the dudes who made it out and rode, or those (like myself) who had a good time hanging out with friends and drinking to take the chill off... Of course after the jam turned into another classic shit show (I think we should start selling tickets to people so they can witness our drunk asses in full effect). Of course Matt once again out did everyone with his signature antics.

Other good news... I finished the top of my mini bar. my only regret is that I wish my car was bigger so that I could have built a bigger bar. 

Horns & Drunks

Cab ride to AC/DC show. Pittsburgh, PA. 1/7/09

With the economy in shambles and thousands of workers being laid off daily, Johnny and Matt do what they do best when the going gets tough. They get shit faced and go to a rock concert.

Fat Heads, The Slippery Moose, and AC/DC = one hell of a good time. Fuck yeah.

drunk day tomorrow!

There is a BMX jam going down in Ithaca tomorrow(Saturday)... the jam is hosted by FBM, and Shit Luck, so you know that it will be good! Check here for the info

In other news this is me in super rare from... I had no clue that I even had my camera on until a week later when I found the tape.

Happy New Year's Cock Smoke!

New year, or end of the road?

After drinking from a lot of red plastic cups 2009 is finally here... I still don't know what all the fuss is about.
