Es Game of Skate Finals at Southside Skatepark November 6th during The Johnny Romano Skate Jam

Okay, so we have been getting a lot of media attention apparently as of late.  Just had a call from Channel 39 and they are wanting to do a piece on us.  Heres the kicker, Dakota answered the phone, the lady on the line said she would call right back and he didn't catch her number.  Goobye Channel 39 Southside Skatepark piece as the lady has not left us a voicemail or called back, score!  FUEL TV actually ran Volcom's "Wild in the Parks Qualifier" contest segment with Southside Skatepark in it.  Although I have not screened it myself, I am hoping that we are mentioned by name in it.  Reason being is that there have been some questionable coverage of various events here in our park.  Put simply, in segments past we were not a physical location and the events must have been held in someones mind.  ESPN Magazine is doing a piece on skateparks around the nation and we are submitting images to them per their request.  Looking forward to checking that out once it is completed.  Sunday June 12th was THINK Skateboard's demo filmed by John Danielson.  It seemed to become and internet sensation appraoching 10,000 views on our www.vimeo.com/southside account in 48 hours.  Thrasher Magazine put it up on the news feed on the left hand side of their mainpage at http://www.thrashermagazine.com/ .  Then, I am thumbing through the new issue of SkateboardMAG and I find this Es Game of Skate ad.  This is going to sound weird but this was how I recieved the news that Southside Skatepark is the site for the offical Es Game of SKATE finals.  Luckily enough we were mentioned on the offical schedule listing at http://esgameofskate.com/schedule/ , so check for a location near you.  Seems as though they will be held during the Johnny Romano Skate Jam benefitting the Make a Wish Foundation of the Gulf Coast!  We havn't even ever had an offical Es Game of SKATE sanctioned stop here...we always do our homegrown Shut Up and Game of SKATE (which draws over 100 entrants twice a year).  Hey, I am not complaining but if you were manning this ship with us, you might be scratching your head too, don't you think?
