Simon says Hi!

So in case you missed the update on our facebook page, Simon Chamberlain of Nomis / Stepchild fame was cool enough to stop by in September and hang out, premier “This Video Sucks” and share some of his awesome stuff with us. He gave a away a bunch of Nomis stuff and some limited 32’s. Nicest guy ever! We also did the first ever Costco-parking-lot-free-stuff-scavenger-hunt. I’ll post the video…

Thanks to the guys at Nomis!

Here’s Simon’s part in This Video Sucks in case you’ve been living under a rock for the last two months.

Owner of Lib and Gnu Mike Olsen has a nice little chat about Banana Magic and beans…seriously. Very Nice. He also vacations in Tofino during the summers. Look for his Giant black van with Bent Metal skulls all over it!
