430: The House of Steam – Year three!!

So on July 20th THOS turned three years old. Crazy to think I have been living with this thing that long in two different countries as well. It has been a great year from my vantage point it seems there has been no downturn in the brotherhood sector of the economy. A high water mark is obviously Jim Murphy being recognized for his charitable/skate endeavors but along with that I have my eye on a lot of other seeds that have been planted and people tied to this community seem to be gravitating towards one another with results to follow. So THOS continues on into year 4 – keep the pics and stories flowing and I promise to keep it all moving so no one will ever have time to hang a sign on us.

Cheers, My Bruthas and Sistas!

Ps How sick is that photo of Tom! Nice one Dave!

422: The House of Steam….Our first Live event!! Derek Rinaldi & Jay Henry Skating at The Smithsonian National Museum of The American Indian

The National Museum of The American Indian

Skate ramp for the Ramp it up exhibit

Photo Derek Rinaldi (4:11 PM Sunday July 5th)

So having contributed to this historic event I was granted an invitation to a swanky party and to skate within the Smithsonian Museum…too cool! When faced with an overwhelming desire to be somewhere one cannot the obvious solution was to send Derek Rinaldi and Jay Henry as my eyes and ears!! It looks like DR and Sleepy head Jay are on site and skating (with uber VIP permission and hopefully alongside Jim Murphy) It seems that the roof of the Smithsonian is considerably higher then that of of the Barn.  I can hear one of Jay Henry’s classsic …”DAMMMMITSSSSS” echoing through those hollowed halls…Derek what have you gotten yourself into? 

-More to come!!

These just in 6:11 pm July 5th

Yeah Murph!! 

Thats my pic too!! (Jason) 

Head on down to DC this summer and get some Murphchendise!

Seriously what an amazing accomplishment…unreal..Murph! Well Done!

 

Hitting the hay…more tomorrow!!
