Ever since I can remember, baseball players have been setting the hairstyle trends.
Even I tried to follow the trends in 75′.
Not too shabby, huh?

Well, it was a long week for me – packing, cleaning, moving, unpacking and cleaning again – but I am officially moved in to my new house here in Milwaukee. I couldn’t be more stoked. The place is spacious and cheap (like your mom) and I even get my own office. Check it!
As you can see, it doubles as a game room. I have my Gamecube with the new Zelda game to keep me from updating the main page (sorry Josh). I just hope it doesn’t keep me from skating.
Speaking of skating, did you guys hear about the possiblity of a triumvirate video? If I can convince Josh to start filming again, it could be a total blockbuster. With a little effort from all three figureheads within the Iowisconsota, anything can happen. Could be bigger than The Jazz Singer.
Let’s get to work guys!

I just wanted to give a proper Triumvirate farewell to a very special guy. This little guy was a creation of many people. Built with love and care, and even a little gleam of sunshine in our eyes. Our joyous grinds, majestic slides, and even the occasional treacherous manual will remembered until the sun no longer rises, and the earth breathes its last breath.{nl}

Brothers in the Triumvirate, I ask you this one simple question, pop or soda? If we can’t be united as one in this, I don’t know how strong our ties in other areas can be. Don’t let me down! (I know we here at wiskate will be alone in bubbler land though, no worries.)

It’s over for Bryan at Official New York’s bandwidth. He put up a fourty minute video called “Vicious Cycle”, and I think he said Zered Basset had something to do with its creation. It that’s not a high enough selling point for you, I don’t know what else would be. Check it out here.
Word also is, that there’s a skatejam at Fritsche Middle School in Bayview tomorrow at 2pm. Ace will be there running the dice tourney, so break out all your singles.
Videos? I saw some of that new 411. It’s “The Stereo Issue”, and it’s not too bad. Really weird for there to be two 411’s in a row that aren’t shitters, but I guess I shouldn’t complain. I really liked Clint Peterson’s part. Dude has such a rad style, and of course, the Midwest thing helps too. Jason Lee even has a couple tricks in there. Old dudes are stoked.
I changed up how the video reviews system works, so hopefully I didn’t break anything over there. I’m also kind of at a beta stage of being able to list the music track listing that goes along with the videos, since there’s always 1000 kids on message boards asking what so and so’s song in a video is. It’ll work the same way as sending in the reviews…i.e. you guys submit the info, and if it isn’t bad, I ‘ok’ it and it goes live. That should be up and running sometime next week.

Wisconsin to New York transplantee, Adam K (some of you probably know him simply as AK) has emailed us some tasty tidbits of local Wisconsin monster folklore. It appears we have much more to fear than just our friend the Hodag!
“There are a few things that i found on the internet that are kinda rad.
Apparently our dear little Hodag isnt alone in his/her little game of of cat and
mousing around the counties of Wisconia.
In Lincoln co. a few locals described a bearwolf that mauled some wee in a field one nite. Nothing out of the ordinary; Bear body, wolf head and of course fangs. Bearwolf lacks in a cool name though so hasnt gained the popularity of the Hodag.
Clark co. has some Devil Monkeys wreaking havoc at the farms, slashing up livestock and the sort.
Kiel co. has a Bigfoot beast a-lurking that has been alarming the kids at the Kiel co. version of makeout mountain. It is thought that he is attracted to the moaning and slurping sounds coming from the maker-outers thinking it to be some kind of aquatic prey.
The Blue Hills have Mummies buried there. I have never heard this before.
Stevens Point proudly claims a White Bigfoot but despite the change up from the brown bigfoot to a white one, nothing seems too characteristically charming about the monster.
Walworth co. i.e. tornado town usa pleas for people to take their WolfDog problem seriously because it has eaten whole cows in a night.
Lastly, and probably the only rival to challenge the infamous Hodag in its fear-factor; Waukesha, home to many of the contributors of Wiskate as well as its readers, have reported sightings since 1972 of a PHANTOM KANGAROO that has actually been photographed but the police will not give out the photos.
This is all some straight Ripleys stuff so watch out when you are Goonie-ing spots or hunting for that next perfect ledge in the middle of nowhere.”
Intriguing! Speaking of other mythical beasts, I had a short conversation with Lutzka yesterday, and he says the Almost video is nearing completion, and should be available in a couple months.

Today I will be dismantling my computer until the 3rd when I will be in Milwaukee getting new internet service provided. Before my absence I wanted to boost the power of the triumvirate a few notches (not that the ULTIMATE triumvirate needs it, but it can’t hurt). I have put together a small pie chart that breaks down the key ingredients of what makes Iowisconsota such a force to be reckoned with in the midwest. Here it is (Dom, take notes).
As you can clearly see, total domination and ultimate power are key in forming a good triumvirate. Radness is at a all time high and getting awesome is way above average. I would also like to point out that cats and dogs are an essential part of the whole scheme. Without them we would be nothing. And if you did the math you found out that it adds up to 101% of complete insanity. 101 percent! Only Iowisconsota could achieve those kinds of numbers.
If you would like to discuss the pie chart further please instant message the triumvirate. The screen name is Iowisconsota.
While I am discussing the triumvirate, I would also like to mention that our minions are growing by leaps and bounds. Check it out right here .
You can also get a good idea of how awesome we are by visiting the Dudes and Platinum Seagulls.
I have to admit, I am really excited about moving back to Milwaukee this weekend. I think it will be good for my skating and metal health. Plus, I wont be bothered by the smell of patchouli from merely walking down the street.
Goodbye Madison. May god have mercy on your soul.

Steve, The Carn, and Mr. Twister all updating within a week of each other? What the hell is going on here? If Lord Crue got up in there, I’d be scanning the skies over head for a plague of locusts, because the world is would be coming to an end. Or maybe it’s just a sign that the Triumvirate brings us all together? You choose.
This dude Alex Duke who ran one of the first skate media sites up in there with wiskate..metrospective…eboarding..etc asked me to link to his Billy comics. Billy is a cat with one leg, and Alex has a huge beard, so there’s really no way I could turn him down. Beards are scary.
I’ve been busy, and haven’t really been looking at anything on the internet lately, so no random links for you today. There are a couple of new video reviews though, maybe check those out instead. I have a ton of NYC pictures that I kind of want to get on here too, so maybe some of those soon.

I have a new friend and his name is orange worm. It was very hard to stray away from my friend the white worm but the orange worm killed the scene. Once I got that orange worm in the water it was doomsday for the Bass. First cast, orange worm=Big Ol’ Bass. A good trick to catch these Bad Ass Bass is once the worm lands in your strike zone let it sit for a second and then start reeling in. Once the Bass hits, lower your rod then pull up fiercely for a good hook set. Always remember to have your drag set how you want it before you cast because to loose of drag will be a poor hook set and too tight of drag the line could snap. If the water is clear use a lighter pound test line. The fish see that shit and if its too thick you are gonna catch less fish. With smaller lures you are also gonna get better action with a thinner line. Well, I hoped these tips helped and if you are looking for a good fishing website check out [link]http://www.thenextbite.com[/link]
