THE UMBRELLA ART GALLERY

Almost a year ago, I was sitting in the Free Idea shop and this guy walks in, ... with a full beard, and is telling me how he wants to open up a open art space to support the small but growing art community in fitchburg. Naturally i was into it and told him that if he gets something like that going i would be 100% down to support it. And 1 year later. Ryan Scott and his fiance Brigitte. have opened up the Umbrella Art Gallery, which is a host for non critiqued art, music recordings, shows, and just an overall drop in spot where you can hang out read some books and get your ideas out.

Be sure to check this place out.

PROD

thanks to the fall and injury of my foot. i received extra tickets to the Mountain Dew Pro skateboard championship tour.


While leaving the event, My girlfriend Katie, and myself so happened to bump into pro skateboarder PROD. who had to be one of the most down to earth pros ive met. This dude dosnt hold himself higher than anyone. And will hold a conversation with you forever.

recurring injury

I have a bad foot... literally. Over the past 10 years of skateboarding i have counted up numerous injuries to my left foot/ankle the latest and possibly worst (not counting breaks) has been the collapsing of my heal. (yeah i know???) During a skate contest in the middle of June i took a slam on my heel and flattened out the heel and completely destroyed the muscle. now i get shots of jelly in it?!?! making me feel like i am walking on a sponge. im now on my 3rd week of a 5-6 week of full recovery.

Another Blog post About Rudy

I love my dog Rudy, since I have moved into my new Apartment, Rudy has been getting some extra attention thanks to having room mates around.
I currently Have 2 Room mates which will be placed into the blog at one point or another.
One of my Room mates Byron, is a hotographer who works for the local newspaper snapped these shots of Rudy as the 3 of us where heading to the local Fitchburg Skatepark for a nice little skate session. and yes... Rudy has a board too.

Hey car window! i see that you and my face have met!

This morning while on my way to work with a buddy of mine, i was sitting in the passenger seat of his car, coming through an intersection and what do ya know, a car blows by and slams into the front passenger side, clipping my door and pushing it in. At the same time my face decided to check out what was going on outside the car but the window decided that wasnt going to happen. leading to some cuts and scratches on my face.. enjoy

inspiration

As in a previous post i stated that Rick Klotz of FreshJive is one of the reasons why there is Free Idea.

just watch the videos and you will see why.
