Tampa am kicked off last night with an art
show and free drinks. Artists painted beer
bottles and then the bottles were sold with
proceeds going to charity, did I mention
there were free drinks? Anyway, we bought
Jeff Taylor's bottle which was a memorial to
all the skaters who have left us too soon. all
the bottles were cool but this one seemed
very "Bottoms Up".

Does this bottle look like a popular Des Moines
icon? Holly sure thinks so.
Here is me blinding Levi Combs pre-tailslide.
This was the only skate photo that was taken
so it will have to do. Did I mention there were
free drinks?

These are some of the bottles that were already
sold by the time we got there. Jason Adams,
Bigfoot, Jim Phillips, and Mark Appleyard were
just a few of the artists in the show.
