Skateboard Art Roadshow

Cool Hunting tipped me off to this interesting roaving show of skateboard art.

One Way or Another's Isaac McKay-Randozzi and Sandro Grison, along with their gang of creative collaborators, are touring North America in a grassroots campaign to show off the incredible artwork created by some of skateboarding's best while raising awareness for the 1 June 2010 launch the One Way or Another project's online shop.

After the L.A. event on 29 May 2010, the one-night-only show heads to Escapist skate shop in Kansas City, MO on 4 June 2010, finishing up at No Comply skate shop in Austin, TX on 7 June 2010.

These are a couple of his recent horror posters designed for the Alamo Drafthouse here in Austin.

Fun Fun Fun Fest 2009

Austin's FUNX3 fest is a good alternative for those who can't attend ACL. The tickets are much cheaper and the weather is much cooler. This years fest is full of punk favorites like 7 Seconds, D.R.I., Mission of Burma and Hip Hop legends like Pharcyde and GZA.

Blitzen Trapper Play In Old Power Plant

The Seaholm Power Plant here in Austin Texas is a piece of the old Austin that you don't see much of these days. Built in the 1950's this Art Deco building has not been producing any power for a long time. During SXSW it did produce a promo for MTVU's Ahead Of The Curve featuring Blitzen Trapper. The footage was shot on the upper levels of the power plant since the lower levels are infested with snakes.
