93rd Surfman Award: Bicycle Film Festival

Yesterday my wife and I had had the opportunity to attend the Bicycle Film Festival at the Royal cinema. It was wonderful, because it was all about the bike, which is always near and dear to our hearts. We saw Joe Stakun's documentary "I Love My Bicycle" The Story of FBM Bikes. I have so much respect for the guys of FBM for what they have created and their dogged determination to forge ahead even in very dark times...these guys ROCK, SO HARD!!!!!!

92nd Surfman Award: John Hughes - Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it!

Last Thursday, John Hughes passed away in manhatten, he was 59 years old. He will be missed on a hugh scale by those of us that grew up during the 80s and were entertained and inspired by his many incredible films of teen angst and lessons to be learned. My personal favorite is Ferris bueller's Day Off, staring Mathew Broderick, about a guy who gets along equally with all manner of high school subcultures. "He is a rightous dude." When I graduated from universtity back in the late 80s, I wore a "leisure rules" button, a promo from the movie on my gown as I collected my degree. Mr Hughes you taught me that no matter how difficult the grown up world got, you can enjoy yourself while travelling that journey. Thank You and you will never be forgotten by those of us who grew up watching your films.
