Arctic Jams, Slam Section, The Goat, and My 23rd Birthday
Back on July 21st the Baker team stopped in NYC while on their 2015 Summer Tour (which was weirdly presented by Scion but I won’t get into all of that). After they skated and did a signing at KCDC Skateshop, the team had themselves a nightcap and put on a few shows at the legendary…

20 Years of Chocolate – Brooklyn, NY
9/20/14 Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NY Sideshow Back in September I attended the 20 Years of Chocolate Anniversary Art Show in Williamsburg. I was especially excited because opportunities like this are one of the major reasons I wanted to move out of the Midwest. Rarely do skateboard companies hold special events in Oklahoma. Girl and Chocolate has always…

The frigid and wet East Coast weather of late has been getting me down lately. I’m starting to believe somebody put a hex on my life causing any day I have off from work to be filled with dreary clouds and heavy rain. So if the sadistic spell conjurer could do me a favor and…
