hey all, sorry I got caught up in the All City Race and moving... but now we are on track to get the screen made and start printing. Ashira is in Israel at the moment but will be back at which point we will start printing with Skramble Ashira and Teddy at the spot of all spots.... expect this event to go down in mid august.
so far we;ve gotten a LOT of committment from the East Side Valley and central areas of LA. but not much feed back from the West side. Unfortunately Alex Thompson is going to be too busy to help lead, is anyone else out there on the West Side willing to take the lead on this?

I'm from the westside, I'm not sure about leading anything but I can certainly help a bit if I can. Pick up and distributing ? Where should we put these and how? All along westwood would benefit, that's the worst street to go down on during traffic hours.. impatient drivers driving recklessly close, and there's a whole gauntlet of parked cars. But I digress.

Ridazz we got things buzzing in that spot today. I was afraid of otherwise but the teacher was surpisingly pretty stoked to see the group in action I thanked him and he said it was good for the students to see a production go down that rivals the pace of commercial production.. In other words We handled that shit!! But that's the energy that comes from riding a bicycle all the time huh? Bangin it out. Bang Crew.
