OCCUPY WALL STREET 3
The Occupy Wall Street Movement has been going steady for a month now in Lower Manhattan, with people from all walks of life joining in to give their support. Above is a video of Tom Morello from Rage Against the Machine performing a song at the park.
I also ran into Cult rider Russ Barone at the protest who is camping out with his girl and supporting the Occupy Wall Street Movement.
There are all types of people down there from Union constuction workers, bankers, hippies, lawyers, skaters, punks, street kids, cops, military vets, artists, musicians, activists, and anyone else you can imagine. I suggest going down for yourself if you are anywhere in the area.
Below are some more shots I took down at Zuccoti Park.

SXSWASTED
I managed to catch Screeching Weasel’s set at SXSW, where I ran into NW homies Forrest and Bogues. The show was wild with Ben Weasel just talking down on the festival until he started fighting people. Check the video below!!!
Kick Out The Jams!
Last night a couple of bands played a show at the Pearl River Hotel. The bar is right on the edge of Jersey and Will Fegan’s band SEND THE WOLF played as well as VERSE THE END which have the ad on the site to the left. The show was a real good time, and I got lost in that $2 Rolling Rock Sauce. Check out a few more pics below, you can click them to go big.

Awoken by a RAT!
This is straight wild! A rat runs on the train and is running all over and eventually runs up a sleeping bums body, right onto his face! You never know what the hell is gonna happen when you wake up, especially when you wake up with a rat on your face!
This guy seemed rat free when he was sleeping on the A train the other day, you can click for closer inspection

DO YOUR OWN THING
Don’t listen to what anyone tells you to do. Just do what you think is right. Without people straying from the norm we wouldn’t have shit. Go make something happen.
GO SIGN THIS PETITION to get a skatepark built in Nyack, NY. There is nothing in the area to ride; or do at all for that matter. Most kids here become either murderers or drug addicts, or stay being little shits til they are too old to care. Stop this BS! GET A PARK BUILT!!!!!
