June/ Dennis McNett
May 11, 2008
June will definately be one to not sleep on because Dennis is coming all the way from Brooklyn, NY to show some of his completely amazing wood-block prints, sculpture, and ephemera. You may have caught a whiff of his work on Anti-hero decks or Vans shoes but this show will be a full-scale blast of his art. See you there.

First Thursdays Cal Skate Jam was a blast, many heads were shreddin until well after sundown. Good vibes and way high end ripping. Thanks to everyone who showed up and special thanks to Eric Wilson, Ryan Burns, Ryan Bodiroga, and Tyler Cole for painting/designing the ramps. Also, Howard Weiner, Paul Fujita and Brennan from Vans for being essential to making it happen and Ashley Montegue for keeping the sounds tight on our end. Lets do it again soon!

Thursday was fun heres a few fotos just to give you some of the flavor. It was rainy and the crowds were slightly thiner but only slightly. Some have been around for years and others have only been alive for a matter of months but they all mix and mingle on First Thursdays.
