I think I'm that guy...Were you the guy in the bread shop out in South Seattle?
As for music like the Sex Pistols and whatnot, I don't know. I was never really into that type of punk rock. There's good venues all over the place, though. Graceland used to be good, but ever since it turned to El Corazon they haven't played anyone worth seeing. Not that I've heard of anyway. I don't know what's going on at Neumo's these days, but Against Me! played a good show there. And down at Studio 7, Conflict played an amazing show. I don't think we kill people anymore, though. That fad died out in the late '80s.
I probably won't be up to play hockey this coming weekend, but I'm hoping to be up there next weekend and pretty much every weekend after that.
Cheers,

Adam,

Thanks for the energy you're bringing to our little street hockey community!

Answering the questions in your comment to me :

I'm absolutely fine with playing all of our games at Greenwood Elementary rather than switching back and forth with St.John's. GE is a better flatter surface that is not encumbered by cars, priests, etc.

As you said, any board solution needs to be simple, cheap, portable and effective... Not trivial...

I'm also all for moving to Magnuson park if the city builds a proper hockey rink with boards, etc.. I would strongly advocate an outdoor rink. Less fuss, more fun! Recently, Arena sports used to organize an indoor inline hockey league at Magnuson Park but it folded. Ideally, the hockey court would be similar to outdoor tennis courts. The city would maintain it in the same manner. An informal reservation system could be put in place to guarantee availibility.

I know of at least 2-3 other inline hockey groups who would also love to have good place to play! I'm sure the Lacrosse guys would also be thrilled to have a box Lacrosse playing field!

SSH got started about 5 years ago by a couple guys, Alan Edwards and Tom Adams, who got off the couch and started shooting a ball at a wall. The weekly Saturday street hockey games grew organically through word of mouth to what it is today. Now, the SSH website has over 55 members and on most weekends, 20 people show up to play. Over the years, I would say over 100 different people have showed up, thrown their sticks in the middle and played a game of good ole playground hockey.

Let me know if you need any help to lobby the city. A proper outdoor hockey court would make for a great legacy to the city of Seattle.

adam check out the silt fencing i was telling you about the other night at st. andrews-- which you may have forgotten about b/c you were so buzzed! ; -D

We could use this article as a blueprint for a Seattle city rink proposal.

>> Availability for fence tinkering: Wed-Fri night (in the dark), or Saturday before hockey. Call me to set up: 323-9344. Left same for Vin.

saturday would be the earliest b/c i need to procure more material-- fencing, strap-ties, etc. i'll let you know by friday if i'm ready to try on saturday. if so i figure a 12PM start isn't unrealistic as i'm sure there will be bugs to work out.

hey what's up adam...how's the ankle?

Thanks for looping SSH into your party plans Adam. I'd love to come but can't make it.

How where did you contribute to flowers etc. for Vic?

Heya mang, have you heard anything about a funeral/memorial service for Vic? I was out of town all weekend and am hoping I didn't miss out on it?!

Yeah, it was front and center next I looked. I'd sent Vin a request so maybe he reorganized.

Yep. Thanks for the generosity. I'll let people know when the money is disbursed to Georginette and Daniel.

Thanks for the great comment! We love the name. Pics coming soon to the site.

Here's some info about those cabins I mentioned.

Great to hear, dude! I bet it was the good-luck tequilla.

I knew you were joking, and I know you know I know you were joking. Errr. Congrats on the nuptuals!

hey adam, saw your comment to scott about a girdle and just wanted to let you know that you are a big pussy!!

Thanks for the feedback, Adam. Every muscle in my body ached on Sunday, and more on Monday, but in a good way. Felt great to bust my ass after 1.5 months off.

Hey Adam
Mike mentioned that you got your knee pads from some site for only $20 or so. Do you remember which site that was. Are they D-gel. Good hustle out there last week.
Cheers

Hey dude, how's the leg?

hey what's up adam. how did the surgery go? man, sadly i've used one of those mobile carts before after my achilles surgery. that damn thing only moves like a mile per hour! I had people walking by me faster than I was driving. hope the recovery is going well!

Adam, how are you doing? Get well soon. When can you start taking shots at your goal/board?

Hope the surgery was a success, best wishes for a speedy recovery. Expect that the bionic knee will make you a holy terror in Vegas (on the court) next year.

Love the photo Adam...sorry it confirms your present gimpness, though. Need more movies? I got some good ones.

thanks for the feed back !!
bro, thats a sweet scooter. can you play defense in that thing?

Dude i think i left it in a strip club in vegas!....haha j/k. I'm heading up to seattle tomorrow. I'll bring it to ssh on saturday. you playing again?

sorry to hear about the acl, how long you out? i have never tried cyclocross, but i mt bike alot.

i hope to play this saturday, if i get my homework done. finals are comming up next week.

my friends wrote that for a radio contest. I guess they played it a lot on the radio. Do you have the Rick Jeanneret CD or DVD with all his famous calls?

Certainly not Buffalo. Chumps they are mate!

thanks for taking some pics with camera.

dude-- change your profile pic . . . please!

A couple of buddy's of mine back in the Buff may be responsible for this song...still not sure. Lyrics are funny and sad all at the same time.

glad to hear your back ! play as much as possible! later.

Adam,

thanks for the super nice post about my show. And yeah, I know that some of the pics were slipping... I'll know for next time that I need to tape :-) I shoot with a canon rebel xsi. All of the pics in the show were shot with a 17-85mm 4.5-5.4 lens. I hope to do another show some time in the future, and will certainly let you know if that happens. Again, thanks for the real nice comments, it's nice to know that people appreciate the work. Oh, and I was being somewhat humble about the pricing, but also felt as though those were fair prices. I HATE overpriced art! :-)

Geoff.

Hey Adam, shoot me the website for that plastic mesh netting you found and let's see if we can make this happen. I'm pretty jonesed to get some other type of board system up and running. Happy Thanksgiving.

I agree, the best way would to be to get samples. I would assume the thicker the better. From redden.net (Vexar) I'd say go with the L34. It's the thickest (25mm) and the roll width and weight is the same as the others. From conwed I think we would need more specs (thickness, weight etc.) I'm not familiar with the specs they have listed there, maybe you are. And as for industrialnetting.com, hell I don't know where to start. Seems like they can make us basically anything. A lot of it all comes down to price of course. I might make it out on Thurs, but prob definitely Sat, so if you're there, bring the stuff from Home Depot and we'll see how it works. Happy holiday.

Hi Adam, yes - those are mine. Thanks so much for picking them up! I don't think I'll be there tomorrow so maybe you could just leave them in the bucket.

where you been? thought i would have heard from you this week . . .

Shit....thought I was going to be able to make it, but wasn't ultimately. Sorry if you dragged the stuff there for naught. I should be around next Saturday. My phone is 206 579 2898 if you want to check in before dragging it all out. Prob see you Sat.
