The gator got loose and came after Bradshaw.

I'll leave you with this.

Gary Milton is a BOSS.

Gary is easily one of my favorite people to film with. our friend Jake Kuzyk is in town filming with Gary and Jake for transworld. They went up to St. Cloud one night last week and made a party edit. internet gold. Check out Jake's blog for the most uninteresting part of your day.

I love College from Jake Kuzyk on Vimeo.

Last Night: Ducks Lost

Justin always looking smooth.

We had Blues Moons.

Joe is not happy with the Ducks loosing to Washington, but Joe's brother Dan (42) made the only goal for their team in the second period. Joe told me that Dan is ranked #13 as a rookie and he has only been playing for a couple months! He's been tearing it up.

Danimals Repping

Here is a photo I stole from from Jake of Danimals repping. in case you don't know who Danimals is, he's the ginger kid ripping so much harder than you at Hyland. expect to see more of this kid.

Joe Is Pro.

Joe has finally gotten himself a Pro-Model with stepchild. it will be out next season. If you happen to be in Denver for the trade show make sure you stop by and bowl a game and give him a high five. (I already gave him a couple.)

Holy Shit.

Tuesday Tuneday #11

Maybe the first time you heard of him was from a skateboard part, or the Corey Duffel interview on 1817. The first time I heard about Roky Erickson, I was blown away! Roky Erickson & the 13th Floor elevators were one of the few to pioneer the masive wave of psychedelic music, and grew to be remembered as wild and chaotic. I bought a DVD biography of him about a year ago...wow, he has had quiet the life. To this day Roky Erickson is still known for one of the most unusual artists, especially his voice,.Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top) describes it as, "crazy." The famous Janis Joplin took a lot of her stage presence and style from Roky.

The 13th floor elevators took off in 1965. Their first biggest hit off "Psychedelic Sounds" Hit #1 in San Francisco, CA. The band manager of the elevators Tommy Hall wanted the band "more psychedelic" so he supplied drugs. Thats how acid took over Rokys life. A little later after some shows and whatnot, Roky started seeing a doctor and eventually his final diagnosis was Schizophrenia. 1968 He ran off to San Fran. and kept saying that he was hearing evil voices in his head, all the time. Little later heroin came into his life. Then found he came across hepatitis from a dirty needle.

Eventually, he was caught with the drugs, brought to court and was tried as insane. They sent him off to a mental hospital. He sat up day after day there writing lyrics. During the stay in the mental hospital he played music with other patents, all who were murders, rapists, some real spooky sick people. They gave him shock treatment, in other words, electric current to cause controlled seizures for the purpose of psycho treatment. After he got out of the institute, his mother told him to perform some songs he had been writing. Here is one of them.

The Wind And More - Roky Erick...

He started taking his lyrics, and where ever he had written "God" he changed to "Lucifer." That was all with Roky Erickson & The Aliens. Roky started believing that he was an alien, creature, demon or a ghosts and that earth people where going to zap him. So his current wife made a fake document for him to sign that he was not human.

The document is on the bottom of this movie. I suggest you watch this movie. Most musicians can't have huge times from 70's all the way into early days. Roky Erickson did. His brother and a therapist took care of Roky in 2006-07. He is doing a lot better today.

Abortion Survivors Entertainment

Good times from our buddies at Abortion Survivors Entertainment showing how fun Theodore Wirth park is. Be sure to check out Theodore Wirth this winter for the closest thing to a skatepark on snow there is, without high lift ticket prices.

Spot Check

Looks like this one has been set up already!

"The United States will not dream of enjoying safety until we live it in reality in Palestine.

Okay, I usually wouldn't put something like this on the 1817 site, but this made me real mad. Not a good way to wake up in the morning. New Bin Laden tapes in the press have to confirm that there will be more attacks on the United States. Seriously, what's his deal, I hate this fool! Click Laden To Hell for the complete story.
