skate + art + atlanta = skartlanta

I dropped out of algebra in my junior year of high school. Good thing, too, because the poor grade I was receiving in the class was really putting a D in the A of my GPA. So instead of busting my brain cells on numbers and letters and the numerical equations thereof, I picked up a free hour during the school day that I more often than not spent in the art room. Hindsight is the proverbial 20/20 in terms of vision, but I'll S a D if things didn't work out for the better because of that strategic move. Besides, it's not like a single living, dead, or Limboed soul in all the years since my graduation has ever asked me to determine the value of x, a letter that can suck my cosine whenever it ventures out of the alphabet into mathematical lands beyond.

However, I do realize and acknowledge that there do exist algebraists in our midst. People that do enjoy the letter x and all its unknown potential. Should you be one of these folks, more exponential power to you, and please don't feel you're not invited to come and check out the "Skate it or Hang it?!" exhibition* now running at the Museum of Design in Atlanta, Georgia. The opening was cool, too bad you missed it, but the show will be up until September 16, 2012. In addition to walls o' skateboards galore, featured artists include Michael Sieben, Lance Mountain, Steve Olson, Andy Howell, Wes Humpston, Jim Phillips, VCJ, Alex Brewer, Charlie Owens, and myself (Sean Cliver, the guy with the goofy grin at left in the photo above with Lance and Chris Solomon).

Every show has its dog and pony and these suspended walls were my Skippy and Princess favorites.

* Special thanks to Todd Vaught for the innumerable hours it took to curate/wrangle the show.

Hi! Y'all don't know me, but I've known Chef Seth MacKenzie most of my life and I wanted to tell you that there is, fnlakry, no chef better suited to the task of cooking up excellence itself for your music and flavor hungry festival crowd! His food is absolutely worth it, and that he's willing to travel that far and work that hard for it should tell you something about his dedication and enthusiasm, to say the least. He has a unique (and delicious!) style that has never let his customers down or left anyone anything other than hungry for more. Bacon, as magical as it is already, becomes at least a demi-god of tasty insanity in the hands of this man, and there is no way you could ever forgive yourselves if you willfully miss out!All levity aside, I really do hope that you will fully and seriously consider this man for your coming events' Chef contract. He is brilliant, dedicated, and you can count on him to bring that fire and passion into all of his creations, usual and unique alike.Thank you for your time, and good luck with your event regardless!-Kayleigh W.
