Here are a few photos from the day…

Jammin’ up the 405 North.

All the action is on the other side of the mall.

Once in Santa Barbara we headed straight to the Arlington Theatre to pick up our tickets.

Four person pass.

Cages lined up for the press.

After getting our tickets and checking out the theatre we walked down a few blocks to the Powell Peralta Skateshop.

After a quick dinner we headed back to the theatre and there was already a line forming.

Powell hooked me up with a press pass.

Stacy introduced the film.

90 minutes later the movie ended and received a standing ovation.

All the guys were introduced and came out on stage for a q&a session.

Someone from the audience asked Stacy how he would feel if someone from the Bones Brigade died… And just then Lance died!

Rodney talking about how much pressure was lifted off of him when he no longer competed.

George Powell, editor Josh Altman, Rodney Mullen, Lance Mountain, Stacy Peralta, Mike McGill, Steve Caballero, Tommy Guerrero, Craig Stecyk and q&a moderator.

And then it broke out into a product toss.

And then it was over.

Crude video I filmed with my Canon pocket cam.

This Art Of Powell Peralta show was held at the Duke Art Gallery at Azusa Pacific University from September 7th to September 29th.

To view photos from the show go HERE.

I missed the show they had back in March so this location was all new to me and there were quite a few games that haven’t seen at past shows I have been to. As always, the camera came with me and here are the pics…

Nucleus Gallery in Alhambra.

Overview of the gallery.

Biiitchfest banging away on Donkey Kong.

Classics. Someone needs to make an “Artwork of Atari Cartridges” coffee table book.

So stoked to see Paperboy in the mix. One of my favorite games and I don’t think I’ve played it since the late 90s.

Steve playing Berzerk on the Atari 5200.

Tron and Discs Of Tron!!!

Me playing Paperboy.

I got the top two high scores!

Big thanks to Steve and the whole SC3 crew for putting together such a fun event. I demand a sit down Spy Hunter machine at the next show.

Our next stop was Costa Mesa for the Revolution Mother show at the Tiki Bar.

Back at the office Greg Brown was grilling up some steaks.

Due to budget cuts, lettering on the going away cake could not be afforded.

Greg Brown, Jenny and the triplets.

The first stop of the night was the Dogzilla food truck.

You can sub in a veggie dog for any of the menu items.

But since I have the taste of a 6 year old I get mine plain with ketchup only.

Tonight’s concert venue… Pep’z Pizza and Eatery.

Punk rock pizza parlor.

I missed the first band but the second band of the night, Remission from Chile were awesome.

Remission plays some serious Verbal Assault/One Step Ahead inspired jams.
