Better Late Than Never

This is four days late, which equates to about ten years in internet time because it has been lost and forgotten by this point. And if the view count on YouTube is any sort of an indicator, I’d imagine this has been posted on Slap in six separate threads already, and completely reformed at least three people’s wardrobes (usually it takes approximately 72 hours after the average impressionable skateboarder observes an outfit on a popular professional skateboard athlete for them to begin planning how they will adopt it within their personal mystique.) Quartersnacks never prided itself on being a purveyor of breaking news and emerging trends, so you will have to forgive us with a late pass.

In between working the treacherous, labor-intensive seven hours at Autumn and undergoing emotionally draining tasks like repeatedly telling customers that the only sizes left in any desirable shoe are 7 and 13, on top of moonlighting as Ted’s manager, Paulgar managed to stop by the TF and film some footage of prominent skateboard athlete, Jason Dill, doing some hot moves (“Yo, do a 360!”) on Autumn’s unnecessarily high box. Footage of this man surfaces on very rare occasions these days, so it seems like fans will have to resort to settling for clips filmed off an iPod Nano at Tompkins. His outfit is not nearly as groundbreaking as leading fashion industry insiders would have hoped, taking into account that prominent New York stylists were holding their breath to see if “the Dill look” would make it back in for the Fall / Winter collections in September.

Danny Weiss completed his metamorphosis and purchased a motorcycle. A week later, his hours got cut. He is currently attempting to sell his motorcycle to compensate for his lack of adequate funds to sustain his Stella Artois and vintage denim jacket habits. No, he still does not skateboard.

I never understood how it was possible to tell that Paulgar failed gym class in school and played dress up with his little sister (Brengar?) from one single photograph. At least a lot of gay dudes were into it.

Yaje seems like he is more down for Quarter Snacks than I am, because he actually printed snackman shirts. There are currently four in existence.

Oh, and real updates? We’ll see how that goes. Quarter snacks are currently priced at fifty cents, so I’m kind of beginning to wonder if there’s even a point anymore.

Quote of the Week: [after falling on a flatground trick at Union Square]
Girl walking and eating a burger: “Hahaha, that nigga bust his ass!!!”
Benjamin Nazario: “Hahaha, you’re fat! Stop eating McDonalds.”
[2 minutes later, when reminded of the moment]
Benjamin Nazario: “I can wake up tomorrow and still feel better after falling, she’s going to wake up tomorrow and still be fat.“

Late pass for a good video, and the worst video ever.

If you missed the premiere of Rich Mahogany, they are hosting another one, ON MANHATTAN ISLAND (yes, as in, NOT BROOKLYN), on May 18th at 8PM at Epstien’s on Allen Street and Stanton. Like typical premieres at Epstien’s, expect an overcrowded sidewalk, a bar full of underage kids, and actually only being able to see 25% of the video and 75% of the back of some guy’s beanie standing in front of you. Inside information is saying that DVD copies of the video will be available in two weeks, but you know how that goes.

And as for the worst video ever, which coincidentally was Eightball Paul’s thesis “film” for SVA and a culmination of money well spent on an elaborate 23rd Street art school education, that is also re-premiering at Epstien’s on the same day. And when I say worst video ever, bear in mind Lemony Snickets (known to outsiders as the Altamont mascot) has about fifty percent of the video’s screentime, rendering it borderline unwatchable and a significant risk on anybody’s blood pressure. I would imagine the re-premiere has something to do with the fact that the “filmmaker” of the actual “film” missed his own original premiere since his night before included this and the theft and subsequent breakage of a bunch of glasses from Dallas BBQ. So you should attend solely on the basis of allowing Paul to redeem himself, even if the video itself is the most infuriating thing of all time thanks to the soon-to-be-Lil’-Wayne-after-years-of-drugs-look-a-like depicted in the top right portion of the photograph.
