On Tuesday November 4, as America eagerly awaited the results of its presidential election—as well as the Senate and House races and hundreds of disparate propositions up for vote all across the country—Antics posted up at the Beauty Bar in Las Vegas for our special election night congressional caucus. Plus-sized television screens aired CNN’s holographic glory while party-goers flooded the doors, drooling at the mouth at the prospect of riding history’s coattails into Wednesday morning. Funny Faces Photobooth joined us, bearing a box of political masks—on hand were Hillary Clinton, Ronald Reagan, Richard Nixon, Abraham Lincoln, and president-elect Barack Obama. Later, Eagles of Death Metal took the stage for ninety minutes of ruby rock.

In this age of mondo-corporate-consumer-driven-skateboarding-mega-hype-marketing-media-blitzes, it’s good to know that there are still a few fine photocopied ’zines making the rounds among the hardcore skate types. One such fine publication is Diehard, put together by Texas pool ruler Ronny Ripper. Like most good ’zines, publication is irregular at best. I mean, he started doing it in 1986 and he just came out with the eighth issue. You do the math… But, the good news is it’s worth the wait.

Skateboarding lost another great one with the passing of Steven Picciolo, one of the original pool skaters, due to liver failure. Though his skills on roundwall were never fully publicized to the skate community at large, his aggressive tendencies in early holes down Dogtown way solidified his reputation for those who saw him ride. Credited with early tail taps and frontside airs two feet out of the Topanga square in 1977, which boasted four feet of vert, Steven was by accounts ahead of his time. Winner of the 1975 Del Mar Nationals, that contest that brought the Z-Boys to infamy, Steven’s inspiration will continue to live wherever a hardcore session is going down.
