Here is a rundown of things coming...

First thing is if you are in London next week check out the show by Matt Irving. He's the dude that does Delphi T Shirts that you see in Focuses Easterly and Westerly.

Mavie, Alex and The Jam will be there before they head to Malmo for the European Yahtzee Championships with The Harmony.

News is filtering it's way into the Information Center to suggest there is a Zero event at Kelvingrove near the end of July and then a Blueprint tour shortly after.

More news on those when we get it.....told you we were good.

Hell Yea!

Re. Glen Bolland v's Lee Ralph

In response to your blog competition........ the head to head went down well over 2 years ago in Melbourne. It was a close run thing, and the judges were divided. Lee still HAS teeth, but his raw baheed and bear-like hairy chest and shoulders gave him the edge. This is the photo finish, and you can see that he quite clearly wins by a head, a rather huge one at that! hehheh, see ye the morn, Glenx

Keats and Yeats are on your side!

I spotted the newest issue of The NME the other day and by jingo I nearly dropped my veggie bacon butty! Twenty years since the release of The Queen Is Dead? Blimey! Two decades later it's still one of my favourite albums of all time and if you've never heard it, you should.

I met Andy Rourke at a party in Manchester a few months back and I gave him a John Peel badge. He was stoked, I was stoked.

All hail The Smiths!

Bloody Swan!

Looks like it should be an album cover but it's just another quiet night in with Div. He's just back from the Download Festival with Alex Irvine which had the Snickers bowl at it. Div being Div got extremely pissed and skated the beast of a bowl with no pads or helmet on and came 4th. Tony Alva came up to him afterwards and told him "i like your style Div", go on! Fueled with that he got even more pissed and got thrown out of the VIP area. Rock n Roll.

4:20 Dude

Good Bloggins, another post, that's three in one day.

Cutting edge.

Anyway thought this was pretty funny......

The Oz patrol minus Mavie are about to get on a flight to Amsterdam. Without knowing it Nate managed to book the same flight as Morgan....the 4:20 out of Glasgow.

It was recently explained to me that 4:20 is known as stoners hour. I have a feeling that may be a very appropriate hour for these parrots to leave on......have fun.

Meantime, us left here can look at a fairly recent Morgan interview.

Please note one of his favourite spots in Glasgow. That's two mentions in one day. GO GB!

Photo by whoever took it.

Frog march

News just in from Alex.....

Div got 4th place at the Snickers Bowl competition this weekend. No pads, plenty of booze and some metal got him amped for some proper vert.

Good jobbins Bertie.

Good bloggins.

This picture is not Div, but is the bowl.

Freestyle Measuring

Welcome to the new fun game called Freestyle Measuring. It's been pioneered by Whitelock, D.Smith and now every man and his dog is at it. Bolland has been taking it a step further and measuring whilst on the move. Car or bike it's up to you! Get yourself a good quality mesuring tape and get measuring- freestlye. Yea, yea, busy in glasgow lalalalala 'anonymous'.

What a blast.

Hey Sam P can i post your chocks away picture? Start voting folks. (It's funny)

More decks in this week. Some Plan B and perhaps some DGK. Hey that's what the kids want. And for the adults we've got some more Consolidated and Creature. Heroin Illustrator 4 coming back in again after selling through in 3 days. Oh yea, the Perfect 8 is coming in this week. I've been skating one and it's true, it's perfect.

Play some Devo, measure something you can't see and do a GB at the GB's.

Go Bob!

Lifted from Fecal Face-

There has been some really stupid shit in skateboarding in recent years (won't name names), but this is Bob Burnquist grinding some rail and then base jumping into the Grand Canyon! poop?! Wow man! can't believe he ever rode for Antihero (great video)... Remember being kinda proud to be a skater? Those were the days.

Exactly.

Krooked, Spannos and The Mouth

Last weekend we here at Focus West put on some visual entertainment for the skateboarding brother's. First up was the Real DVD which was the lead up to the main feature, Krooked. It'll be out next week with a new Anti Hero disc too.

Deluxe = Hard working dudes. (That's 3 dvd's in a week)

After night fell and the young lovers had put it away we moved all the projection to the Kelvingrove Amphitheatre and had a rather rebellious showing of Harvey Spannos. Good turn up from everyone. We'll do it again, but maybe somewhere else, with a different film and without the mouth.

Kelvingrove has been the place of choice this week. I suspect Jamie is getting ready to go there now. Hopefully he'll see Morgan before he comes and goes on Tuesday.

Sun = good times..

Step it up people!

Throughout select dates in July and August the Wee Red Bar in Edinburgh's art college plays host to Step It Up. Roots music is the order of the night from residents Mark 92 and Cedric Minel and all proceeds from all nights go towards the MS Stem Cell appeal.

If you need more info check out Step It Up and Stem Cell Apppeal. Please add these peeps to your MySpace friends and help spread the word. Cheers.

Cliché De Félicitations!

Super congratulations go out to Cliche who have just picked up the Transworld award for the best skate team in the whole goddamn world. Nice one boys, making all us Euros proud!

Swooshtastica

Another great turn out for Glasgow West. There was some frenzied signing going on in between stickering Neil Smith's back. Apparently this happened at every date on the tour, ah fun and games. There was a man with Snakehips checking out for the most destroyed shoes and here's two lucky winners who got some new sneaks. The sesh at Kelvingrove went off, look out for Sam Ashley's photo's in Document and footage from Blueprint's Dan Magee. Colin Kennedy mentioned about a Blueprint tour happening soon, we'll keep you posted.
