Yeah it’s a tired Clash reference, but at least I didn’t title it London Calling. Our Czech ex-pat Marek Litinski went back to the fatherland (motherland?) for a week and got stuck in London for an extra week becasue his “papers weren’t in order,” or so he claims to his wife… While he was there […]
So I get a call and some on tells me Gabriel is still not open, yet the footage you are about to witness would lead you to believe the opposite but as you can plainly read Gabriel is closed? “Kooks go home,” is what I was told.
Dropping In: The True Story of Don Wimmer. It’s about time. I’m so sick of all the lies and hype… Errr.. Wha? There’s a movie about a guy who ditched his career as a CPA to try and become a pro skater at age 42. No, it’s not Grover, but it does sound like an […]

The guy takes a hard slam, of course, but what’s up with the weird warping footage that looks like it’s been shot underwater or projected onto a wobbly warped sheet of plastic? Warning: Take your dramamine before […]
So apparently Transworld had (has?) some sort of Pin Up of the Month. My subscription lapsed… some years ago, so I don’t know if it’s ongoing.
