I heard that "sPOON" may make an unscheduled appearance at around 11 pm.....keep it on the low down though so it won't be too crowded....

Those Hosoi Hammerheads are ridiculously sweet. I used to skate a black one my neighbor gave me after the nose split. And then I huffed around on the Hosoi ramp deck with motobilts, which weighted fiftybajillion pounds, pushing along with my used three-sizes-too-big Gen1 Air Jordans that were duct taped together because I loved them too much to let them go. This show's worth it just for the nostalgia.

Thanks for posting the info about this show. I stopped by the gallery last night to preview the opening. Massive. Warren has more decks than anyone else in Austin (stores included). Many are ultra-obscure that few people have ever seen before. Here are some photos of the preparations: If you know someone interested in skateboarding or just youth-culture art, this is the event they need to hit. Seth
