Our friends at Slam City have launched the Palace website with a new promo video.  I’m really psyched on this company.

Look into the hypnotic eye…

California’s Gold

12 January 2010

A favorite of mine since my school days, California’s Gold is a PBS travel program that explores the numerous natural, cultural and historical wonders of the Golden State. The show, now in its 17th year, is produced and hosted by Huell Howser. The minimal production allows the locations and people to remain the focal point of the program.

Howser, 64, has listed his 60-acre Newberry Springs compound with its dome-shaped home for $750,000.

Vard Wallace, who built a business selling drafting machines and airplane parts to Lockheed Corp. and other aircraft companies during World War II, had the spaceship-shaped high desert retreat constructed for himself as a getaway.  The home sits about midway between Las Vegas and Los Angeles.  It was completed in 1968 and designed by Harold Bissner Jr.

Built on a volcanic cinder cone, the dome has tempered glass walls at ground level. Concrete and beams form the dome, which has 360-degree views of the mountains and surrounding desert. At the apex of the dome is an observation deck.

Stacks

1 January 2010

Friends,

Skateboarding has always been central to our point of view on the world.
It’s the lens through which we make sense of our surroundings
and it taught us how to think around, over, and through.

But you already knew that.

It’s fairly simple. We wake, we work, we share ideas and nurture friendships,
and at some point in the day we find ourselves moving with a rush and a push.

Now let’s get started….

Stacks will enter the new decade as a skateboard company.
