Comply: NO COMPLY
Remember back in those halcyon summer days, when kids with spike-swoop haircuts would sulk over to your house on their skateboards, kick-flipping the whole way, bangs covering everyone’s pot-reddened eyes, just to bask in your glory as Thrasher’s newly claimed “heir to the Hosoi throne”? Man, those were the days. The chicks, the sponsorships, the Jimmy Z woody, all the righteous goodness. Remember that?
No?
Of course not. That's probably because like the rest of us, you sucked massive balls on a board and have scars on your face to prove it. Speaking of proving things (and brilliant transitions!), it’s high time you broke out your gnawed-up Natas and showed today’s newschoolers how the Bones Brigade really found Animal Chin: embarrassed by your sick-shit ramp skills.
Thursday night (tomorrow) at Beauty Bar, you’ll get the opportunity to bust out your old moves, and reclaim a piece of treasured nostalgia or whatever it is that working folks try to reclaim when they get back out on a chipped board and wreck the universe. Or crack their pelvis.
Local skate suppliers NO COMPLY (owned by local skate pros Elias and Simon Bingham, and Jake Nunn) are teaming up with Adidas, Krew Clothing, Steaz, and musicians to bring you Team No Comply riding ramps, music for your ears, kickassness, more ramps, and then some ramps for you to bust your sweet ass on (if you are willing to sign a safety waiver, because you know what’ll happen). So there’ll be professionals skating, then some dudes from around the way skating, then perhaps YOU doing some skating, all in an environment of free-flowing music and booze. And Adidas.
Psychotropic DJs will be spinning between live music sets by Julian Decided and The Tunnels. Local photog legend Courtney Chavanell will be taking portraits so you’ll remember your moment of glory forever.
Yabble-mutherfuckin’-dabble.

The beginning of this post reminded me of "Gleaming the Cube" for some reason.
The only part of this post I could understand was 'booze' and 'Adidas'. I wonder if that means I should attend this or I should not
Oh man. Hipsters burned through punk and emo and crackhead Whitney of the 80s and now they're going to ruin skateboaring too!? Why don't they just skip this one and have a Cross Colors jam at the Beauty Bar?

a-hem. Excuse me. The Booty Bar.
Is Austinist short staffed or something today?
Man, I knew I kept my old Vision Gator in my trunk all these years for a reason. I hope it still rolls. If only we could get the Judy's to play this show, that would make my life complete. Remember them?
I love the Judy's!
The Judy's! Guyana Punch! Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh.
Oh brother.
Courtney's photos looked cool, though.

I didn't get the part about "working folks" going to the Booty Bar. Does dealing coke count?
I think they mean that they saw those lastnightsparty pictures and they got embarrassed enough to want people who know how to dress themselves to come to their bar instead of mental hospital escapees.
Hey this is sorta off topic, but does anyone know how I can get my hands on some Judy's music? I used to listen to them back in the day but it was on a tape that someone made for me, I'd love to hear them again. I was able to find washarama on vinyl a few years ago. Can anyone help me locate more?
Thanks
Sinteres - The rumor is that Washarama, Moo, Appliances, and Modomusic are to be released on CD very soon! Go to the judys dot com to get more info. It's a great website.
lownotes - thank you so much!
