Leonard and I are starting a regular video and more night at Dunes!
It’ll mostly be skate videos with some other random crap thrown in, and especially games and prizes, so come on down when you get a chance!
In case you didn’t notice that the image is a link,

CITY HALL ART SHOW AND SKATE JAM :: 5PM – 8PM
GLEAMING THE CUBE – OUTDOOR CINEMA NIGHT
portland needs a skateboarders’ bar.
This just in from Dan Garland of the Pharmacy:
There is a new opening coming up this Saturday night at Pharmacy. This time around it’s the artist by the name of WiSE. He is a really great guy and his work is amazing, so I hope you can come by and meet him. Also, the show will be a benefit for Skaters for Portland Skateparks and all the work is going to be priced affordably, so you can come see some great art and help get more skateparks built in Portland all at once!
Voodoo Vegan donuts will be in the house as well.

About The Artist:
Wise draws heavily from his own life in his work and paints a colorful world
that is a mirror of his own reality, exploiting imperfections and praising the
norm. His inspiration varies, ranging from a strangers smile to a phone call
from a friend. Wise works entirely with recycled materials, discarded wood and
miss-mixed house paint.

Ridiculous

Jake keeps talking about contact mics or other sensors on the coping at the skatepark, then doing some kind of contest for longest grind based on data from these sensors. But, this skateboard is pretty sick too, ok, sicker!
Musique Concrete: skateboard as digital musical instrument: “David Pescovitz:
Artist Simon Morris outfitted a skateboard with various sensors that convert acceleration, turns, and vibration into data that’s wirelessly transmitted to a laptop. The computer than translates that data into sound, generating an ‘acoustical map’ of the city being thrashed. From the description of the project, titled Musique Concrete:
Tricks and movements generate real-time sounds allowing the skateboarder to composes his/her soundtrack of the city. Furthermore, combining tricks and movements result in unique and often unexpected musical compositions. Used in conjunction with ramps, obstacles, ledges and other architectural elements that make up the skateboarder’s universe, Musique Concrete provides the listener with a sonic imprint of the urban environment.
