June 2011- NY 8
Memorial Day Weekend was a bummer, I had to stay in the city to study for finals. Still, I took a few breaks and enjoyed what the weekend had to offer.

It feels like New York City has been under the weather for over a week now! So much rain… I spent the entire week between being at school and doing homework. But whenever free time was available, if I couldn’t go and skate, I watched skate videos. I often go back to one of my favorites, is a video of Yaje […]

As I was surfing the web and getting hyped for the trip, I came across a cool series done by Skateboarder Magazine and Converse, where a group of skaters travel in the Amazon.

Friday after school is one of my favorite times of the week. It feels you’ve accomplished something because it is the end of school week, and … it is a time to hang out with friends, and skateboard.

BAM is for Brooklyn Academy of Music. And the BAM Harvey Theater, located on 651 Fulton Street in Brooklyn, is a great small theater that hosts international performances year-round. Its interior looks like decay, real. I really liked it. This weekend I went there with my parents to see Shakespeare’s Macbeth. The play was over two hours without intermission, and […]
