wrapping it up with an array of chillis

The opening night was pretty goddamn great, everything from the great art, the fact that any and all proceeds go to build a skatepark for breeding our future to the projection of classic skate videos. A big thanks to the gallery and the curators for pulling it off. A day that includes art, skateboarding, art on skateboards, ramps, bands and chilli is alright by us. It hangs for a month so make sure you go see it and all boards are up for auction so if you see something you like bid and it helps build a fucking skate park! ~THEM
