Party pictures

Since I've been posting flyers for some parties. I guess I should post some pictures. Special thanks to Dr. Lisa for taking all the shots. Halloween was a blast at SKY 60. Uncle Scam and Buddy Christ.

Pris was looking good but where is Rutger?

Stevie.
Jesus Christ this music is AWESOME.

One More Drink Please.
The Knock Knock reunion / Billy D b-day party was one for the ages. The type of party you regret for missing.
Q-burns, GOMEZ and Billy. There wasn't a sober person in the house

So I dropped Van Halen / Eruption, then Andrew took over on guitar. He rocked out to the delight of everybody at the party. Andrew is a closet metal head. Of course we went into You Really Got Me after Eruption. Just like the album... The place went bonkers.


Jamey and the Dr.

Blue Man Pig Boy. The Blue Man was dancing on the rooftop. No photo sorry.

Andrew and Ashley

Faherty and Dishman
Still Standing after all that Jager.

So next time we have a party you should come out and let loose. It will do you good.
Ok, thats it. I will stop with the party pictures and go back to product shots.

Sid Vicious

Watched Sid and Nancy last night. I think Nancy was a self destructive little #unt. Poor SID. The Sex Pistols were the shit for a second. Apparently Sid never did much but he looked cool doing it until he got on the H. Here are a couple of you tube videos. The first is a wicked rendition of Ol Blue Eyes "MY WAY". The second is from an interview with John Lydon and Malcom Mclaren. Im not sure if its from the movie The Filth and the Fury, which I hope NetFlix has for me. I saw it years ago but need a refresher. All you little skaters, haters, hip hoppers, pill poppers and punks should watch it! And to top if off here is a link to Wikipedia SID VICIOUS

GET MENTAL Friday Night @ SKY 60 BIRTHDAY EDITION

Ok friends of COVERT/BETA. We don't always promote our party's on the blog. (Im not sure why we don't) But this one we should all try to make. Its Tommy MOT's B-day bash at SKY 60. Its a 21 and up affair. Its going to the JUMP OFF this Friday. MOT will be 40....DAMN! 40! That greasy haired Dude has been drinking Jager, playing records, slinging skateboards and street-wear since some of you were born! He has put out 6 or 7 records, been signed to a multi album record deal (which abruptly feel through a year later when the label was sold) and went on tour with MOTLEY CRUE. (sounds like a where are they now episode on VH1) So come show some love for the man behind COVERT and BETA and have a drink or two. The music will be banging and the vibe will be tight. DJs on tap will be the GET MENTAL residents MOT and ANDREW SPEAR along side LT. SMASH and JFM.

Sky 60 is located between Tabu and The Social. There is a doorway that leads upstairs. Yes SKy 60 is a roof top bar.

Password for free admission is " 40 is the new FUCK YOU! "

Contest this weekend at MESH re-post

Some of you might know I was a dj on the first couple of AST DEW TOURS. While I was there I convinced the staff to let me have a contest on the skateboard park course at AMWAY arena. So with a little help from our friends at MESH we started the LOCALS ONLY contest. Here is how it works. There is a Qualifier at MESH. The top finalists in that contest get to skate in the finals at the DEW TOUR alongside a representative from all the local skate shops. That way each shop in town has a finalist and gets represented. It is a super fun contest and its all for skateboarding in central florida. We have a ton of amazing talent here.
So below are the flyers to explain everything. One more thing the finals will be held when the gates are open at the AST DEW TOUR. That means the stands will be packed with a ton of fans cheering on all the skaters. FUCK HATE LETS SKATE!
