The urban legend goes something like: if you say “Fred Gall” in the mirror five times, ten years later, J.P. Blair drops a new video.
Met with some friends to watch the Knicks this past week — many of whom have fallen out of the habit of skateboarding regularly. They had asked what was going on this weekend, and I’d mention J.P. Blair is premiering a video, half-expecting them to maybe not have a sharp mental rolodex of skate videographer names. Everyone would say: “Outdated J.P. Blair!?”
Time certainly flies, but great indie videos endure to the point where people who aren’t on board much these days have fond memories of one of the 2010s’ best — just as much as people still very much in the skate trenches do.
Yesterday, he premiered What Did You Expect, a HD, Jersey-heavy full-length that is due to make its way online this week. (At least that’s what J.P. said.)
Dave was asking for more posts to help push the premiere on the day-of. However, the theater is the size of Labor. Bummed for anyone who wasn’t able to get a seat. Hope the theater staff forgives the mob scene ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Vega killed it.
In the Quasi video premiere recap for Thrasher, Greg made a joke about the inside of Josh’s jacket being lined with Rolexes. This premiere, he took it upon himself to bless the entire roster of full-part havers in the video with a Rollie.
Saw The Act Of Killing at this theater once, and would describe the feeling of walking out of the theater that time v.s. this time as the literal exact opposite.
