The best band you don’t listen to. Rolling Stone’s top 50 bands you need to see live. Pretty much incredible.

Hey digital acquaintances
We’ve got a few things on the metaphorically plate; Green salad, grilled vegetables, photography challenge, veggie ground round and a skate contest. Dinner won’t be ready for awhile so enjoy some prune juice and snap shots while you wait. Speaking of snap shot, the photographer who successfully captures Andrew Ottosen’s new Double Cork Finger twist, pretty much has the contest in the bag.
Stop reading for second while I call our fearless leader Marc…. one more moments he’s on the other line.
Okay continue reading: While we sauté the details of the skate contest dinner. Alternative’s going to present a photo contest to hold you over (R.A.B, Kyle and Matt you can’t enter: you’re too good). Like beer pong and dating your best friend’s sister, there are guild lines (bendable rules).
No nudity (you’re really not that good looking)
No Party Shots (We’ve all been there, you’re nothing special)
No Chucking of the horns. (That includes you JT)
I know what you’re thinking: “what are we suppose to take pictures of?” Well I’m glad you asked because here are the categories: Surf, Skate, Snow or Lifestyle. All submissions must be submitted by March 31st. Depending on my birthday hangover, expect the winner announcement on the first (possibly give or take a few days). The winner “will get a prize pack with a sweater, two shirts, [I forget what Marc said but some swag from our shop] and love! You can submit your photo via our facebook event with “Pickle” at the end of the title. Everyone is allowed to submit your three best shots (or not your best, whatever).
Remember, use your light meter and get permission from your subjects.
Watch this sub-par video for inspiration.
Facebook’s a fallacy and twitters for H—-‘s, for real in-depth and bias perceptions of life turn to blogs. Need a role model? Follow the Hammond Bay bromies of Alternative on R.A.B’s blog: Harmful ways of Hammond bay. If you’re into the west coast surf scene definiately check out Kyle Voss’ blog: Peninsula Surf. Lastly, if you’re looking for local-ish skate media check out Matt’s blog: For Now and Forever Media
Good evening digital Babylonians
What’s there to eat in the metaphorical blog shaped fridge? Tonight, leftovers: a random mixture of fact and fun for your mental digesting pleasure. First off, Joe Sexton will finally receive his first ever pro-model ski board after years of paying his dues. Sexton’s currently filming for his next video part with the PEOPLES crew; check out their BlogSpot for all the trivial updates you can handle. Quick side note, the People crew recently filmed at Mt.Cain (CLICK image for details). In completely unrelated news, Andreas Wiig has officially, stepped beneath Burton umbrella, and joined the Forum snowboards team. In regards to the Olympics, the Cypress halfpipe is on schedule and looking sexy, if you’re intrigued and require further information follow link while enjoying a snickers: THE LINK. As for all other aspects of the Olympics, who gives a sh!t: moving on. Alternative just got some new Instrumental skateboards: come support your local skate companies. Shad’s presently working on a new album, which I’ll blog about later, in the meantime practice your gangsta walk to this. Justin Taron’s winterboard repertoire of fancy stunts recently progressed with impressive double 180’s. Drama (A.K.A Maximum) just ordered some Supra Society – turtleneck skate shoes and requests that no one else buys them. Random picture of Nikk Beach? Quite frankly, I’m shocked that you’re still reading this blog post, therefore, if you mention the secret code left in this post, you’ll receive a mad discount on your next purchase.
This really deserves its own post but I’m apathetic so I’ll get to it later; In the meantime, enjoy this link and get involved.
