A two-fer in the sunday funnies yesterday. 1st up is Mother Goose and Grimm (You missed that one Marek!) and a little deeper in is Luann.

Portland has a plan for 19 skateparks but the budget just isn’t there. North Portland locals are taking matters into their own hands. Live bands, free skateboarding at the benefit show for the Kenton Neighborhood Skatepark this Saturday February 5th at Portland’s Rip City Skates.

I am going to do a little out sourcing. I am looking for footage of slappys. Submissons must be on minute or less Include Full name and send it to skate and annoy. If yours is good enough or bad enough you maybe a star on an upcoming GVK. Show your support and submit and annoy. Editor’s note: Please don’t email us videos right now. I’ll try to figure out the logistics on how to get your footage. Check back here for details.

Arthur Lindsey is curating an exhibit at Artery called Mercury 7 and the New 9 featuring Dave Carnie, Ashley Anson, Russ Pope, Salvador Perdomo, Ray Gordon, Kim Hamblin, Todd Bratrud, Roger Seliner, Chris Johanson, David Petersen, Andy Jenkins, Jason Adams, Chris Corales, Johanna Jackson, Chris Pastras and Sam Coomes. Hmm… noticeably missing… ME! Dang, man, I already had some Mercury 7 skateboard art in the can! That’s hand screened man, none of that heat transfer nonsense! OK, tantrum is over. (ME! ME! ME! ME! WAAAAAAHHHH!) Flyer, press release and Dave Carnie art after the jump.

It’s going to be a light week here on S&A. I’m swamped with outside projects, so the only thing you get today is Calbee BBQ corn. It’s Hot & Spicy and the corn tassel mowhaked mascot likes to break dance and skateboard.

No matter what the watermark would lead you to believe, this is not the Powell Peralta 80’s Vert Challenge, but rather the Quicksilver event. SInce it was a Powell Peralta production, I thought it was going to be a slick production but it’s a guy in the audience pointing a camera over everyone’s head. Maybe it was an attempt to go for 80’s realism!

Tony Hawk is hosting the Hall of Game Awardsshow February 25th on Cartoon Network. It’s a mildly amusing commercial, but what’s really interesting is a weird segment that aired immediately afterward called Super Scooter Dog. It’s one weird looking dog riding a scooter that is way more entertaining than any dog on a scooter. There’s no explanation as to what it’s for, but I suspect it’s something related to Cartoon Network.
