MELCHSPOT

tears for fears? yes! 'welcome to my life, theres no turning back
so what ive been doing.....
like a bit ago captain cooke and i trecked off to the greater manhattan area for some business VEECE reconnisance and all around debautch... having never really been on my own mish on the east coast i was more than psyched , ive only been to old new york on tours and in the clutches of somebody elses agenda. so here we are having the time of our lives and expierencing all that the greatest city in the world has to offer. when the capt, shoves off and leaves me to my own devices the fun actually gets kicked up a knotch(sorry adam) and i vow to not end the year of 2007 without returning to the big apple for additional havoc. which , while back in the hollywoodlands that is all that i can think about and upon the exact day of my return i purchase a ticket (one way) to conneticut. this will be a skate / whatevs mission. which will become all skate soon enough. i need to leave the dancing behind, i need to stop the permanent halloween.
Even while we sleep
We will find you
Acting on your best behaviour

i need to leave the warmth of california behind....... no more frizbee with j.roys dog,
been out all nighters too much. the moniker "midnight melch" has begun to stick...... marcus and his hollywood hi posse' have been all over the place. too
halloween , the best day of the year lasted a week this year. three costumes later (bill the butcher, carnivale' ringleader, and vincent vangogh) have seen a week long stretch of parties vip events DJ gigs dance fests and one three hundred thousand dollar pirate party on an island outside california's manhattan beach where i accompanied a famously auspicious belly dancer (who will be thusly referred to as KK) in a beautiful vip array of swarthy strippers , henchmen, public fornication, and live alligators and monkeys. easily the most stylish party of my short life. thankyou to KK for this experience.
It's my own design
It's my own remorse
Help me to decide
Help me make the most
Of freedom and of pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever

nothing beats it. we have staved off the rain for the duration and up untill our bodies could take no more we would dance like posessed natives in trance throughout the halloween with no future in sight, only the now. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . decorations for the beauty bars spooky tu-shoes halloween event dancefest a-la screamin' jay hawkins were 4 hours in the making and the night went off at capacity all night . although it proved to be a bit difficult to handle the turntables with a vincent van gogh picture frame attached to my head i managed to pull it off
halloween day. . . would see the release of the best shoe on the market, what better day to start off the radness , here it is , go get some!
There's a room where the light won't find you
Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down
When they do I'll be right behind you
So glad we've almost made it
So sad they had to fade it
Everybody wants to rule the world
the next morning would see me off on a way too early flight to meet up with rodent in conneticut where i plan on skating..... weather permitting..... everything this dude is kind enough to put in my path. not that i havent been on the mish. the deadline for the death vid has been looming for sometime and as i depart on this easterly coasting i also say goodbye to dan-o and my filming time for better than life, my premier part in the 2007 december release will be good i hope. the rest of the vid promises spectularity abound.
THANKS DAN-O www.danozone.com O'SULLIVAN you are a trooper and make me look better than i really am. the melch part has an eight second CGI intro that took dan-o two weeks to render, so go get it and enjoy the 8 seconds of pure gypsy madness ,,,, i love it
I can't stand this indecision

i can see clearly now,,, the pain is gone..... there will be a video premire here in the states . im told by himself that ZAROSH is setting one up in santacruz for december first, and ragdoll is gonna make it happen at pharmacy in las vegas the following week im psyched cause ritchie jackson...aka FEATCH will be here in nov 29th and join me for all of the antics to come its gonna be a featch/melch (feltch) fest for the weeks to come.
ive been sporadically asked questiones by onlinerous enthuziasts lateley which have translated themselves into a GRILL SESSION that will be viewable on vitalskate.com and most likelet shadlambert.com as well. every couple of days shad popps up with a new interrigation for me from some e-mailing woodpusher
check the progress at www.danozone.com
and be satisfied

the title of this photo is........ "its all about pre-production"
its how alfred hitchcock happened to flawlessly make so many movies in his career. he did all the work beforehand so he really had little to do when it actually came down to shooting. he just sat back and watched his baby unfold before his eyes. but in terms of skateboarding,as street skaters..WE ARE CRIMINALS! and like a good bankrobber do all the work before you even enter the bank. have it all planned so that it is virtually done before you are even on site. then the mission is only a formality .
i got unlimited texting yo/////////////// bennie, where you at?
well well wel.. as i enter the new england countryside the FUCKING BASTARDS at american airlines blow it again by delaying? no, canceling! a flight . totally screwing me over once again ive NEVER has a pleasant experience with these fucks! so this dippes my productivity rating to less than zero. i met some female 45 year old financial advisor in the connecting flight whose name i cant remember but her conversation turned from whitty to childlike whence she found out my occupation. upon arrival she had fallen in love with me and asked me to come home with her if my ride didnt show (rodent) ...wondering what a suave gentelman like me was doing tooling around with the likes of a vermin like him anyway, thankfully i was met at hartford airport with open arms by said rat and id not need to exchange sexual favors from a stranger for a place to lay my head . like id ever stoop so low...................... even though some on-plane coitus would not be beneath me , since it seems ive been on over a thousand flights in my day and the chance to enter the secret society of mile highness has yet to present itself. bummout city.
rodent captures the first of many skate sessions on his camera and all of the madness will be avail on rodentphoto.com
this includes my sessions with kyle berrard, adam dyet, mike peterson and james craig. in the north carolinas, and soon to be a re-uniterous with the relocated pat "streetrake" rakestraw in chapel hill. shot some stuff in raleigh and am psyched that dekline is using one of my offerings as the new spread for the skateboard mag.
this photo was under the gun we were getting kicked out had 2 more tries left before the cops were called it was just me and rodent no filmer total gureilla steez . dude was cool and went back inside to call the cops which lent me a minute to get the shot. and look how rad it came out!
im hyped you can see featch's board that im riding and well......TAPES THAT KILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! nuff said huh?
after hanging out there and in virginia we pushed on to DC our nations capital where iv ben spending a week . and skating with these locals who shred. zach lyons, wes, bobby worrest, b. tucci and a slew of others. iv hit up pulaski one of the most skated and historical spots in america. we have gotten some rad pics on this trip and you will have to wait for THE SKATEBOARD MAG to publish some shit to get the real feel. i got to skate al of the classic DC spots and some not so classic ones. but i tell you what,,,,,,, its fucking COLD! out here bitch. somebody send me a space heater quick!. on my last night in DC bobby and me try and try to get a photo but there is no avail. security is a bitch and i want to chokeslam those fucks sometimes. it can really be heartbreaking sometimes . you put in so much effort searching out a spot and modifying it to make it skateable then setting up warming up generator, lights, flashes, runway. landing all this shit and some motherfucking $8.25 an hour rent a cop who probably watches x-games breaks the whole night up in an instant... "you cant do that here man" FUCK!
whatever. im going to new york.
here i come yo................................
whatever you may think about cross contenintal travel... there is no beating the bus. im on a CHINATOWN but driving from washington DC to manhattan via philly. and although it smells like shit ( there is a toilet in back and each time we go over a bump , or accelerate , the sewage below gets all churned up like a fecal stew festering. and there really is not much you can do short of wrap that scarf around your face and deal). you get time to read... im on a chuck klosterman kick right now... and there are all sorts of poor people on board who dont speak english so.... its an adventure no doubt.
i stay in williamsburg brooklyn with KK and this bestman named pace. we tool around shoplifting and adventuring in an artistic shiver for three or four days,
we take wrong turns at every moment and sooner or later the bird lady liberty peeps her face out and i look up her skirt. pace offers a closet up for sleepdowns and its surprisingly the most comfortable NOOK that ive slept in all year
we decide to see the best documentary of the year and its an inspiration to say the least . what can you do when its toooooooo cold out and your feet wont carry you any further? jaunt into a cinema and soak in the warmth for 3 hours.... if you havent.................. GO SEE THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!! "the future is unwritten"
You see the rate they come down the escalator
Now listen to the tube train accelerator
Then you realise that you got to have a purpose
Or this place is gonna knock you out sooner or later
its by julien temple, who did the filth and the fury, sex pistols documentary and its tops. no contest!
here is my one pic i have of my stay in brooklyn , that scarf is actual. it is maddddd cold out really, im not that hip.
i smell like i sound, im lost in a crowd and im hungry like the wolf
An' I wanna move the town to the clash city rockers
You need a little jump of electrical shockers
You better leave town if you only wanna knock us
Nothing stands the pressure of the clash city rockers
Rock rock Clash city rockers
