So here we have a lil trip down memory lane with the Dry Bones Nation, H.A.K.A.S. tour of 4th of July '08.

This is by far one of best, most heart-felt H.A.K.A.S. edits known to man.

Enjoy, grab soem Kleenex.

Steven Erst...

( Drooling Gus )

 So, there's this kid named Steven Erst, that I'm friends with, and he's part of the Dry Bones Nation, and if you don't know who they are you better do soem research.
Anyway, Steven originally hails from Bartlett, IL and is quite the skater & artist, drawing as well as making these one-of-a-kind limited edition resin pieces. The two really go hand in hand as skateboarding is an artform in and of itself. Just ask Andy Howell, founder and CEO of Artsprojekt.
These two pieces here, of Steven's, are available for purchase here at Toy Art Gallery.

( Pizza Man )

He's gotten some press over the past few years on various online custom toy websites such as collect3d, Toy Art Gallery, Neon Monster, and even featured on the Rotofugi forums.

~ Steven's Feet ~

As of the end of this post I am currently listening to "Slow Down" by Kraut from the album "Complete Studio Recordings 1981-1986" released in 1995.

Enjoy The Scenery...

So, 2dei I leave for Arizona. fun fun fun, no commas. I'm all packed for the OMA 4th annual BBQ. The only thing I'm undecided on is which iPod to bring. Do I bring mai 4th generation 20GB clickwheel or mai 1GB shuffle that I can just snap on to mai necklace? The 1 GB will give me 11 hours of musical shuffle tunage whereas the 20GB will give me 2938 songs. Do I pick moar songs over compactibility?

I have mai Dry Bones Nation (DB Nation) shirt packed alone with mai two Buster Bear shirts "Lonely Boy" & "Cousin Of Death." The COD graphic was done by Scott "SAG Arthur Zone" Gall as part of the Buster Bear guest artist series called Buster Brothers.

As of the end of this post I am currently listening to "Light Echoes" by Proton Kinoun from the album "Apeiron" released in 2009 on the label Omnitropic.
Soem Great true Ambient.

Search Rad Content

So, here at SRC we decided to not have you leave to search for new ish. Why not keep you here? A new box is located on the Left-Hand side bar of the page, after you type your search in the box and press the search button, you results will appear at the bottom of the page.
Go ahead search Skateboards, Pleasure Swings, Goa Trance, Vans Shoes, Baby Names, Dry Bones Nation, etc. Wahtevs you want. I'm just here to keep you here, until you leave to go look for soemthing else, moar ish on soem other site.

As of the end of this post I am currently listening to "This Is Not A Daydream" by Alien Factory from the compilation "Welcome To The Technodrome Vol. 4 (Disc 2)" released in 1995. I remember buying this at Camelot Music in 1995 in the Charlestowne Mall in St.Charles, IL 60174. I used to hang out there for hours and had made friends with the employees there. Sweet deals and special orders, like Helios Creeds - Kiss to the Brain.

OMA BBQ...

So, it's that time of year again Fellows where I pack my bags and must go to Arizona for the 4th annual OMA BBQ weekend, Mesa to be exact. That's where my friends Frog & Joy live in their house with my niece and nephew Malibu & Compton. Malibu is the tall one.

Gotta stop by Yeah! boardshop to stock up on soem new ish, like a new 8.25, soem new STF's and soem new chukka lows. Still have to buy mai plane ticket, hope I can still find a cheapo price out there on a good airline, I love Southwest, but I hat the trek down to Midway on the CTA, crybaby.

I can't wait to skate you again and you and you and you. Maybe run into some of the Dry Bones Nation Arizona chapter.

Maybe I'll hit up Marfa over at Wellborn Clothing to see if I could do some product plugging while I'm out there, you know, get the brand noticed in the southwestern public eye, which might be KNDA good since it'll still be KNDA fresh in their minds after seeing their rider Shawn Turner get 6th in Chicago's King of DC contest thingy, whatevs.

As of the end of this post I am currently listening to "Lonely Riders" by D.S. Yancey from the album of the same name "Lonely Riders".
All Songs were recorded in the Spring of 2006 in the sleeper cab of D.S. Yancey's old Freightliner semi, from San Diego to Denver. I met him, 2007, through a friend I used to work with Mark Scearce, who's friends were having a house party in KNDA a reunion of sorts of old friends, they all had bands and Yancey one one of the acts, all solo, he played the Tambourine with his foot. Mark recorded that night on his MD player. I'd like to hear it.

HAKAS Has Begun...

So, thanks to Chicago weather, Hakas Tour has been post-PWND for almost a month now. It seems that the next few months will be on the up side of Sunny Days rather than the up side Rainy. A full cast of Flatbellies, Barneys, Kooks, Mallgrabbers, Mongo Pushers and Data Files. So, enjoy the preview, it's not a trailer, because they were called trailers because they used to play them AFTER the movie was over, like a trailer.

As of the end of this post I am currently listening to "Gary's Breakfast" by Butterglove from the album "The John Morand Session" 1997. Butterglove is some pretty good math rock ish with Pen Rollings on guitar. Perfect for HAKAS Tour.

Beast As Hell...

tumbl me #5 from Kevin erst on Vimeo.

So, for those of you who didn't know already, Dry Bones is Beast as Hell. Dry Bones, of course, being the Dry Bones Nation. Stay Dry, Stay Chiodo, Stay Fuct. HAKAS tour is coming soon be on the lookout as they might PWN a park near you. The nation is Fuxd.

As of the end of this post I am currently listening to "Pass The Axe" by G.B.H. from the album "A Fridge Too Far" 1989

Dry Bones Nation: Rep Da B-Town

rep rep B-town from Kevin erst on Vimeo.

So, here is some more crooked ISH going down. Here is Dry KEV PWNing Bartlett, rough streets and all, none of that perfectly smooth skatepark ground, gnarly bricks, shitty black top, rocks and just the fact of knowing you will always be a "subby 4 life" and there's nothing you can do but rep rep da lett. Don't be a wuss, (part wimp part puss) just 'cuz you don't have a filmer. Just bring your cammy and do all the edits by your own person on your Dell Dimension. As of the end of this post I am currently listening to "Vengence" by New Model Army from the "Entire History of Punk vol.6" compilation

Vans Shoes...

So, today there is a Vans demo at Wilson Skatepark in Chicago, IL. The Vans Driving the Business Tour 2009. Yeah, I know I'm posting a blog about the Demo on the day of the Demo, but also there is a Vans Demo Saturday in Roselle, IL. at the Skatepark out there. Different set of riders from Friday to Saturday. That should be cause enough to roll out. You can get an idea of the Roselle park from all of the Dry Bones videos that are out there. The last Dry Bones Nation video I posted was mostly at Roselle. It's the park where Steve from Yay! A Place For Boards does that bluntslide on the quarter pipe in the bank & KDawgKev38 does that tailslide kickflip out. As of the time of the end of this post I am currently listening to "Helicopters are Burning" by Drain from the album "Offspeed & In There" 1996. Drain is King Coffey from the Butthole Surfers , he has been their drummer since 1983.
