Artifact Skate Shop

Well mother nature messed everything up again. Due to the weather the KeyStone demo will be canceled. We are going to get those guys back up here in April so keep an eye out for the new date.

Last night we went to JRoos for Artifacts birth day. There was Beauty and the Beast cupcakes, singing, dancing, spitballs, naked robots, all the highly intoxicated older women you could ever want to see molesting a phallic statue, a cute waitress, and buffalo chicken pizza. Thanks to all the friends that came out. Without your help and support Artifact wouldn’t be around. We would also like to thank you, the customers, for if it wasn’t for your insatiable addiction to skateboarding and breaking your boards we would be selling rollerblades instead. So thank you!

This weeks wisdom is really going to be helpful. I am going to teach you how to ask the most important question ever when traveling in different countries, ” Where is the bathroom?”.

Arabic (Egypt) = Men Fadlak, Fen El Hammam

Bulgarian -Kade e banyata?”

Cantonese Chinese = Mm-goy, chee-soh hai been-doh-ah?

Dutch = Pardon, waar is de W.C.

Estonian = Vabandage, kus on tualet?

French = pardon, où sont les toilettes?

Hungarian= Elnézést, hol (van) a vécé?

German = Wo ist die Toilette, bitte?

Hmong = honm naj nyob qhov twb os?

Icelandic = Hvar er salernið/klósettið

Japanese = Toire wa, doko?

Lebanese = Waynil hemehm

Maltese = Fejn qiegђed it-toilet?

Polish = Przepraszam, gdzie jest toaleta?

Tibetan = chap sang gawa yo rey?

Check out this link I got sent to me by my mommy, It features the graffiti artist Banksy. If you haven’t seen his work you’re in for a treat. Thanks mom! I really don’t like graffiti but this guys uses stencils and pokes fun at society with his work so its good. Plus, you can actually read what he’s writing.

We just marked our shoes 20-30% off the original price and also just got some new Anti Hero, Krooked, Real, Toy Machine, and Foundation decks in along with more Bones, Spitfire, and Brick wheels. Now to the important new, this Wednesday is Artifacts firstbirth day, here’s to just making it! If you have any presents for us just drop them off at the shop, and put a nice bow on it or something.

Also, this Saturday is the KeyStone demo so be sure to come down to Haven Skate Park and check out this sick team skate.

Check out this sick little clip from Etnies featuring Kyle Leeper. Looks like a fun day of just cruising around town.

This weeks Wisdom is as follows: Hawaii is moving towards Japan at an alarming rate of  4 inches per year! Hawaii is only 3,901 miles away from Japan and closing in quick. If my calculations are correct, and they always are, then you only have 4,783,680 days until  impact. So if you live there I suggest you pack up your wife and kin and get your asses of that island now!

Don’t say we didn’t warn you

ARTIFACT

Anyone with tattoos has I’m sure gotten this question from that asshole jock with the sweet tribal barbed-wire tattoo on his outer arm because it hurts to much on the inside, “Where’d you get your tats dude?”. I hate getting this question, its very annoying and is almost always accompanied by this person placing their hands on you with out permission and manipulating your arm all over the place to get a better look. Who do they think theyare? These are the same guys that get tattoos and walk around with their sleeves up in the middle of winter constantly rubbing A & D ointment all over it! People don’t want to see your shitty tattoos, and we dont think your tough for getting one! Tattoos are a form of art and shouldn’t be used to help your self image.

Well now that i got that out of my system, I will tell you where I get my tattoos done so you can go and get a sweet clove of garlic or something stupid like that. ( haha, just kidding Bill) I get all of my work done at Paradise Tattoo Studio in Milford. A good friend of mine, Doug Kapreiko, does a great job and will give you a costom tattoo you’ll love. So go down or up or which ever way you need to go to get there and get some sick ink done broseph! 

Go check out what Deluxe Distribution is doing. They have this Known Associtates thing where you can win awesome REAL schwag. All you have to do is get some footage of you and your friends liberating a local spot or even creating a brand new one and send it in to their site. They will go through the posts and pick some of their favorites and give the senders some free stuff. Its a win win for everyone and a great idea! Way to go REAL.

Check out what we put up and check out all the others that have been submitted.

Sorry but the Keystone demo has been postponed until Feb.27. Sorry for the last minute notice but now you have more time to mentally prepare for it!
