MEANWHILE is the new short DVD from Yoan Taillandier, director of MINUIT and distributed by Magenta Skateboards. Shot entirely at night mostly between Paris and Bordeaux, it features sections of Bordeaux locals Masaki Ui, Seb Daurel and Leo Valls, as well as footage of local and visiting friends. Available on Theories of Atlantis soon.

Spent another sunny Sunday in downtown SF with Ben Gore, Magenta's Leo Valls and friends Evan Kinori and Brian Bothelo. We lucked out with the most skateable winter in recent memory.

Recently got a new camera and lens, so there are only a few digital shots to share. This plaque was next to one of the spots we skated. Apparently the basic mechanics etc. for television were invented on this spot in 1927 and developed over the subsequent years. Sept. 2nd of this year will mark the 90th anniversary of the invention. It took another 25+ years for it to make it into almost every American and Canadian home. The jury is still out if it has been a good thing for the world or not.

Chris Pastras tells the Stereo story in the second part of the RIDE Channel's Hand in Hand.

The past week has been busy, started with a mid-week set up of an art show in San Jose's Anno Domin Gallery with Porous Walker and Dave Hopp. It's beginning to be a regular thing with these cats.
Members of N’TENCE will be sharing artwork they created while experiencing past hallucinations. Visitors will experience an overwhelming sense of deja vu as each of the artists have seen into the very near future psychically drawing from personal thoughts and wishes from the people who will be visiting the gallery during the length of the exhibition. N’TENCE includes: Kristin Farr, Able Brown, David Hopp, Isaac McKay-Randozzi, Don Pendleton and Porous Walker.
