IPS and Osiris Presents “Feed The Need” NW Event Superpost
November 18th, 2007 by Estes
Tom and Kathryn Inouye know how to throw a video premiere. First they put in phone calls to Corey Duffel (who is recovering from a fractured leg) and invited him up for a weekend party. When the “Duff-man” confirms he’s flying up with several Osiris team-mates to do a “meet and greet” autograph signing then its time to get the word out. The word got out ten-fold. PlanZ Skateshop from Kelso WA bussed in 18 amped up youth for the event. Skaters drove in from all directions. Even some conservative parents were overheard saying “what a blast this was” to us as they left to tuck in the little ones for the evening.

Sorry Kilwag, no Soda Pop Kids, I was lured off by Stu Grahams bottle of Jack Daniels and missed them playing.

Duffle looks like the DNA love spawn of Johnny Thunders and Kieth Richards. Oh wait, same guy…

I’d say DNA love spawn of Kieth Richards & Richard Ramirez is more like it. Seriously, tell me that kids doesn’t resemble the Nightstalker, only way less menacing.

“that kid”, not “kids”. Dammit Kilwag, SnA needs a comment editor or I need to post only when sober….
