In the V-A-N music video

April 30, 2009

I don’t know too much about the hip hop scene in the city but it seems to alive and kicking with young artists.  Here is a dude named Bin Skriptik and his video “In the V-A-N” My friend Bryant Bell shot and directed this little ditty.  Good job Bryant, you picked up some beautiful shots of our city through those lenses of yours.  Keep it up man!!

Like Petey Pablo said “Rep yo City”

Anyone know where can I get a Flying-V jersey…?

April 30, 2009

…like besides ebay and Craigslist and without paying $150 for some polyester…. so I can hop on the wagon….and replace the jersey I had like 20 some odd years ago to go with my Stan Smyl stick that I still have that I won in a contest during elementary school when Darcy Rota came for an appearence. I can just picture the Steamer, the Butcher, Harooooold, the Colliseum, those 80s Molson commericials now….
