Gus is up in Newcastle from today until Saturday. Naturally riding was on the menu, but as soon as I finished Uni, the heavens opened and we were soaked. Gutted. So we jumped in Jonny’s car and headed for 5 bridges for some pseudo  street! As usual, the Angus show started straight away, and didn’t stop until we headed home, and as usual, more photos after the jump!

Also, some of the photos look like they are really flat colour-wise, as unless I mess with the levels of the photo in iPhoto before I export them, wordpress rapes the colour and makes them look awful. Anybody know how to correct this?

“Hey Tom, take a photo of me!”

Tom Fone was out reppin’

I don’t know what is going on with my pedal grinds at the moment. Why is my right knee almost touching my left hand? These need sorting.

Forgot this kids name, sorry!

Gus can do these all day

Not sure what Jonny was trying here, but he kept getting caught out by the slippy surface!

“Hey Tom, look how flat my stomach is!”

This was the firts photo of this trick I shot, I  made him do it again multiple times, as I wasn’t happy with this photo, but I kept messing up the shots.

He eventually fell off into Jonny, and wouldn’t do anymore.

This is either a barspin disaster, or a barspin brakeless tyretap, I’m not sure which as he was doing both. Jonny took this photo as well.

He took this one too

And this one of me falling off doing something really easy.

Two Jonny’s, imagine!

Three? Nah, one is enough.

I really want to get on to the roof of my house to take photos, but not until I figure out a safe way to do it. For now, me and Dan just hung out of his window and plotted our way to the summit.

My housemates girlfriend had a ‘mexican party’ last night, so as a modern spin, I had the idea to go as a modern latino mexican gangsta, L.A. style. I roped in Joe and Andy and Chris and we had a crew. However nobody else at the party got the reference. I didn’t take my camera out but shot some photos before we went out, check them out.

Here are some of the photos from the second roll, they were all shot on the Red Bull conference and after party on Wednesday.

I picked up the prints from Boots today, and they’d managed to fuck it up by printed them all centre. Idiots. Anyway, here’s the first roll from my new Lomo fish eye camera!They were all taken around my house on my birthday, then on the way to the bar down the street. Apart from the first three, which were at my old work and Uni.

Red Bull had their northern annual conference yesterday at st. James park, then put on some food and free drinks at Revolution & Tokyo’s. It involved some talks and stuff, then partying hard. The above vehicle is the event vehicle, whicj I DJed from, as people were arriving, as they were leaving then as people were arriving at Revolution. I had to get a filmer and a photographer to cover it, so I got Tom Finch and Newrick to do it. It was good day, and I’ve managed to nab some photos off Newrick, as I’m passing them all on to Danny. So read on to see pictures! P.S. I have the best job in the world.

The setup was unreal

My fingers were cold

Danny boy

This is Charley who does Danny’s job in Glasgow, she was kind of coordinating all the things I was doing so I was hanging out with her most of the day. She’s pretty much the more excitable person ever.

This photo is amazing!

My housemates got me a fish eye lomography camera for my birthday, thanks guys! I’m going to get some film tomorrow and start shooting, can’t wait!

I turn 21 tomorrow, so Liz, Jen and Scott all trekked up to celebrate it with me. Here’s some snaps!

SNOW!

Liz arrived on Thursday night, and Jen and Scott didn’t get here until Saturday. So Liz and I went for a nice walk on the Friday.

I love meat, as far as I’m concerned, it doesn’t qualify as a meal unless it contains meat. Liz however, is a dirty vegetarian. I thought I’d be nice and take her to the sky apple cafe in Heaton, which is a veggie cafe. Between puking a little in my mouth, I stomached a panini without meat. Urgh. Actually, what I had wasn’t so bad, and Liz made me feel worse by raising her concerns over my apparent terrible diet. Something that needs sorting. Plenty of stir-fry for me from now on!

No meat!

We went and checked out the art works gallery. Last time I went it was really good, with loads of photography. But this time it was kind of lame with loads of overpriced stuff. However I really like the fact all the artists are local, and in contrast, some of the stuff was good.

One of these is Cookie’s graff. However he did not take the photo. The gallery is selling these photos of other people graff for £125! And Cookie won’t see a cent!

We went for a birthday meal on Saturday when everyone had arrived, it was pretty funny, with the overweight Italian waiter hitting on Jen.

Sunday is sandwich time. Daniella’s Deli is the best.

Time to leave! Sad times. I hopped on the train too to go home and do the family thing.

To pass the time on the train Liz drew her ideal skatepark, which included such awesomeness as a tunnel to Digisloots, wall of death, fire pit and a plaid shirt shop. Perfect.

Liz had to carry on to Canterbury, I think this photo is hilarious. By the time she’d got home I’d got to my family home, had a shower, eaten a huge meal with my family, and watched an hour of shit TV. I’d hate to live in Canterbury.

Liz has better written coverage of the weekened over on 2legit2quit!

Liz, Bryan, Tom Fone, Phil, Katie and some others hit digital last night to see Erol Alkan, he killed it. He played ‘pussy’ by Nadastrom and made me the happiest person in the club.
