+ I developed some old film as well as some new stuff and posted pictures from Spitalfield, Silverstein, and Fight Within shows. Silverstein is playing in Toledo again this Wednesday the 31st with From Autumn To Ashes, Hopesfall, and Most Precious Blood at Headliners. more... + Speaking of The Fight Within, they will be recording new material soon at Artisan Studios in Indiana. They also have a new website up. thefightwithin.com + I've added several new pictures to the spots list for the NW Ohio region. There are new rail and ledge pictures taken around the campus of BGSU, and some pictures Paul Fisher sent me of the Wapak park. more... + Troy had to complete a senior project this year for school. He chose to put together a bmx magazine in which he titled "Composition." It's pretty nifty. It has articles on a Chenga trip, the Woodville contest, an Adam Spillman interview, a photo section, and more. If you bug Troy about it, I'm sure he'd sell you a copy for a fair price. + Today is Auston's 20th birthday. Happy birthday my blackish buddy. -Bud	"Composition" by Troy Merkle. The Fight Within. These suave young lads will be recording new stuff soon.
