Been a while. Just stopping by to say hi. Haven't found any decent
work yet. Well, truth be told, I haven't been asked to be in any good
movies. Auditioned for Martin, or should I say "Marty" Scorsese
recently (well, I actually auditioned for a video camera while the
casting director read lines with me) but I didn't get the part. Met with
David Fincher on "Dogtown and Z Boys". That could be cool. I guess
skateboarding really is getting big. Been skateboarding again (gotta
burn off my gut). It's been fun. Fuck, I'm rusty as hell. Still got some of
it in me but it would take a long, long time to "get it back", as they say.
Almost done with my script (12 in years in the making) and my
production company is finally getting started. Should be great getting
my first film as a director made under my own production company.
I've wanted this for many many years. We'll see how it all unfolds.
Hmm, let's see... what else? Oh, Chris Pastras and I are going to be
re-releasing Stereo skateboards and possibly clothes again. Shhh,
don't tell anyone. Anyway, we've been meeting with skateboard
distribution companies to find the right one to work with. Should be
interesting to see how well it does in the now more mainstream
world of skateboarding. Been working in the darkroom lately. Almost
everyday, and for as much as 8 hours at a time. Should have
everything printed for my first exhibition in about 8-12 months (it's a
long and arduous process). Blah, blah, blah. Hope all is well out
there. Be back soon...
