Ivers almost got me and McStallion to drive him to the freeway so that he could hitchhike to this on Friday night. Luckily, cooler heads prevailed, and he ended up taking the train overnight and getting a ride back from Cobbs.

Samba Rock Christmas Party
Wilkerson sent me an email about a Christmas party going down this Saturday at his other business venture, Samba Rock. The party’s going to start at 8pm, and will feature a live jazz band and DJs; the event is BYOB, and Ron asks that you park in the business lot next to Samba Rock, and come in through the rear entrance. Click here for directions.

Wilkerson Interview
Check it out over at ESPN. In the meantime, here’s a video of Ron killing it at the Vision Street Wear/Action Cycle Sports contest in ‘87. The move starting at 2:50 is most rad.

Bay St. Issue #2
Joey just finished this up last night, and now it’s online. This issue’s even longer than the first, coming in at 92 pages, with articles on the Chunky guys, Greg Sumida, and Marlon Europe; a wide assortment of photos, including some from Budapest, Hungary; and a thoughts section, featuring words from Ron Wilkerson, Mike Hernandez, Dave Jacobs, Sean Parker, and Joe Rich, amongst others. If there’s any poor English in there, blame me for fucking up the proofreading. Anyway, click the cover to check it out.

2-Hip “Rock and Roll”
Paul Somero just got 2-Hip’s 1997 video, “Rock and Roll,” online. Can’t say that I’ve seen this one before, either, but you really can’t go wrong with anything involving Birdwell or Banton.

2-Hip “Degenerates”
Thank Paul Somero for getting this online. It came out in 2000, and I’ve never actually seen it before, so I’m pretty fucking stoked. So, if you can handle 45 minutes of Wilkerson, Birdwell, Edelman, Puker, Parker, and a ton of other dudes getting rad, watch this.

Samba Rock Grand Opening
Ron and his wife’s acai cafe, Samba Rock, is going to have a grand opening party, complete with DJs, on March 7th, starting at 11am; the storefront’s going to be blacked out at 8pm, so you’ll have to come in through the back if you show up after then.
Wilkerson’s 43rd Birthday
As you may know, Ron recently turned 43, and celebrated at Woodward. Here’s Jarrod’s edit, with footy from Ronand Simon Tabron.
