Concerts for Days...check out a few!



Dinosaur Jr. just the other night was amazing.  Kerry Getz bought me a beer, such a nice guy and so were all the Habitat guys that were there.  Roger Waters was a very, very good show, so glad to have finally seen him.  She Wants Revenge was a really good time, enjoyed some tasty beverages with Dakota and Tommy in the secret bar behind the stage after the show.  Depeche Mode was nastalgic to say the least, they did their jobs, but the crowd there sucked!  Just wanted to share these with you as it is a undertaking to go to some of the the larger venues and deal with the crowds.  See you at the park!

The Stork is Heading Our Way


So, here comes the stork with a special delivery for Janine and I.  This is our first child and we are interested in seeing just how this is all going to work out.  Luckily we are in a position to build out above the shop to create a safe place for Janine and the baby to hang out, so that they are still able to get out of the house from time to time.  Funny thing about the baby is that it's due date is on November 7th, the same day as this years Johnny Romoano Skate Jam here at Southside Skatepark.  So, she just came back from an appointment today and the doctor has confimed that the baby will either be born before or on our due date.  So our contingency plan is having to go into full effect to make sure the crew has enough help in the shop.  I don't plan on missing the Skate Jam, but if I am unable to make it, well then so be it.  The baby is a boy and his name is Roman Visentin...the middle name will be a book name, so stay tuned.
