performance in cali

[razmatazern]

i just got a google alert that said they would be doing a special performance at etnies' third annual Goofy vs. Regular contest which will be held october 20-22 at the etnies skatepark of Lake Forest, California


The Score is Tied One-to-One as etnies Presents the Third Annual GvR!

Last year, at the second annual etnies Goofy vs. Regular contest, the Goofies stomped Regs to regain their pride. Of course nobody will ever forget the first GvR when the left foot-forwards destroyed the Goofies in a jam session that many hailed as the most incredible ten minutes of collaborative skateboarding humans had ever witnessed. With the score tied one-to-one, ‘06 will be the year that determines which stance will reign supreme!

This October 20-22 at the etnies Skatepark of Lake Forest, California, GvR brings together the best professional skateboarders in the world aligned by stance, Goofy foot and Regular foot, in the end-all-be-all barometer of stance domination.

Sanctioned by the World Cup of Skateboarding, etnies GvR has invited more than 100 of the top professional skateboarders from around the world to compete for the $70,000 purse and supreme stance braggin’ rights. Invitees include 2005 GvR MVP’s Ronnie Creager (Goofy) and Chris Cole (Regular), Ryan Sheckler, Bastien Salabanzi, Andrew Reynolds, Nyjah Huston, Rodrigo TX, Colt Cannon, Jereme Rogers, Mark Appleyard and many more.

A highlight of the weekend will be a special performance by the Beastie Boys immediately following the contest at 8 p.m. on Saturday night. Stay tuned to the etnies GvR web site, gvr.etnies.com, to find out how to get free tickets.

I'm really stoked on them getting back amongst the skate scene. I thought the way Awesome was put together kinda hinted at that type shit.

[Documad]

Yes, it seems like a really cool move. I like the understated nature of all the stuff they've been doing lately. It doesn't make any sense to me, but I like it.

It's great that they're fans of the contest too, because it IS a cool contest. This year is the tie-breaker.

Re the understated nature: it's almost like they're going underground. Very cool.

So I got an email from GvR saying...

Hi Jenny,

GvR is free and open to all.

For the BB show, admission is with tickets only. We will announce ticket drops via this website and kroq's website start of next week.

Thanks,
Mark

[jennyb]

Well they finally posted (http://gvr.etnies.com/) an update on it, kinda... still no official ticket info though. :confused:

yo bionic i emailed the GvR dude last week and he emailed me back saying early this week they'd give ticket info on their site... this is all we get today though?! Hmmm... pm Mike eh? I think Yauch may be a better bet.

[laurie_hammy]

Skateboards, California, Beastie's. Wish I was amongst it all. Australia needs to drift along the ocean close to the USA.

[ggirlballa]

[pshabi]

Too bad I just moved from cali to northwestern Indiana a month ago...
Okay, as a native of the region, it's Northwest Indiana. Drop the -ern please! Thanks!

[pshabi]

Yeah, I've had pounds as well.
Fuck, I've been dry for 2 months. The party's officially over. Sigh.

On KROQ's site (http://www.kroq.com/) it looks and feels like the Q101 Secret Session they did back in Chicago. Which was a 3 song set for about 100 people.

So this could be the "second" performance in addition to the GvR show.

[jennyb]

On KROQ's site (http://www.kroq.com/) it looks and feels like the Q101 Secret Session they did back in Chicago....

NOOOOOOOOOO I don't wanna have to listen to kroq :( Kevin and Bean *shudders* (n) Now I'm remembering how you told me about getting your secret session tix Laver.

[jennyb]

Pff... ok so I just listened to kroq and heard this bologna. Not only do you have to call like a mad crazy person over and over and not get through, BUT, if you're lucky enough to have them grace you with their presence on the phone, you have to play this "game". Basically some jerk says a title of a Beastie Boys song BACKWARDS and you have to guess which title he's saying. It's really fuckin difficult. No really. Eventually the 7th caller got it cause no one was getting it. So the dude obviously did a robot voice as he read intergalactic backwards. Painfully obvious at that point. Yeah, I hope some of these winners put their tix on ebay cuz damn yo. :(

There's gotta be a more civilized way to obtain tickets to what kroq calls this "secret" show in a "secret" location.
