Will D. worked with us on the Oakland skate jam last year, He just emailed me with info on the 3rd annual GnArbor Day Skate Jam. They're throwing a jam for Arbor Day up there...
I think I'll just quote Will's Email: "after all trees are skateboards that havent been made yet.
and skateboarding is nature... right? yea. it's right.
It's the 3rd annual GnArbor Day Skate Jam, (you can google search it and find last year's; "arbor day skate jam")
should be pretty sick, had 73 riders last year and about 300 bucks worth of free swag.
the reason i'm telling you is maybe some of the folks down there would wanna come up.
It's a 4 hour drive, which sucks but it'd be worth it. some kids drove 8 hours from CT last year and didnt regret.
Also we could put anyone up for the night and probably have a hell of a time, we could even buy the booze, why not we're school funded..."
-Will D.
Maybe I should take out that last part for the kids, Nahh...
If you want more info from us, Email shawn@headboardshop.com or WLD1@alfred.edu is Will D.'s Email.

It was in the Harrisburg Patriot newspaper Thursday, March 15,
Local and State section.
They are drafting an anti-skateboarding ordinance. It also says that
nearby towns are doing the same.
Skateboarders need to do something. An anti-skateboarding law is a strike
at all skateboarders.
The town of Camp Hill will have another meeting in April to decide if they
should advertise it for a final vote.
They did mention the idea that they build a skatepark but it was brushed
off saying kids wouldnt use it because of saftey regulations.
Something needs to be done!!!
Call the town of Camp Hill at (717) 737-3456 or E-mail them at
camphillmanager@comcast.net and tell them how you feel about this!
Be sure to Cc. your e-mails to citydesk@patriot-news.com

Mike Hickey for the first time ever has posted on Hickey's Corner twice in one day. Congratulations Mike from everyone here at HBS. While we’re picking on Mike, here’s what the Email with the 2nd post said at the end:
Shawn-you obviously have to take the links in the parenthesis and make
them work on the site. Thanks.
He spell checked obviously for the email but not the post.
GO STRAIGHT THERE - EXPLICIT AND ALL!
