The new improved dudebarn blog.

Welcome to the new world of the dudebarn blog. I had an idea to let the other dudes of the dudebarn post here. And after a vote it was decided that they should have access. As you can see in the post below Dave has started in with his first post. Derek, Brandon, and Nait may soon join in. Pat has requested access as well.

Giving these guys access will give you, the reader, more awesome photos, videos, and randomness than I alone could provide. Also, the dudebarn is more than just me so the rest of the crew should have a voice in this. I hope everyone enjoys the new path of the blog.

Now with more dudes! AND videos (but first you'll have to read through my inaugural post).

Yes indeed, the blog has been opened up. So I will commence with my first post. And following said post, you will find the first ever dude barn video episode to accompany the blog. I suppose it's our attempt in careless fashion to somewhat document the ridiculousness of our lives as grown up children. Or maybe my lack of work since moving to Portland has made me incredibly bored.

But as noted, before the video, find another weekend, and another rousing of suspicions and temptations and mostly as per usual, plenty of drinking and laughing. Things began with Cynthia's birthday celebration on Friday night.

Started things off at, of course, the Bye and Bye.

Headed to Tiga for the birthday...Is Koerner
ever happy???

Steve and the Cynthia the birthday girl.

We all know how much Derek loves candy. Tonight
was no exception.

In fact, he went to the market for seconds.

Note Lovejoy's creepiness in the background.

Mark got real tired of me taking photos.

At some point Ben and Steve felt it was a great idea to
arm wrestle. It has been confirmed that the words,
"over the top" were said emphatically by Steve.

Mellow Saturday night at the Slammer. Juke box
battles were in effect.

Joe hearts Portland.

A rather rainy weekend made Sunday skating at the
Tigard spot somewhat of a challenge.

And now the long awaited premiere of our first video
episode, if you can call it that. Find it in the link
below, and check back soon (long-shot) for
episode two.

DUDE BARN EPISODE ONE.

The Votes Are In.

What a pitiful response from you readers. Over the course of a week over 150 of you visited this blog almost 300 times. And how many of you voted? Fucking 32!!! Whatever, you apathetic fucks. The 32 of you who actually care made your voices heard. 14 was the majority vote to let the rest of the dudebarn crew post up here. I was pretty sure "Going to the Bye and Bye" was going to win. I was just there drinking beers with the crew before making this post. That should say something. Over the next day, week, or whatever I will give those creeps posting permissions. If you don't like it, you should have voted. In all reality I think Dave will be the only one who does anything.

Enough of the voting let's get to the BBQs, fires, crazy eyes, gNR, etc.

One last BBQ ramp jam to take us from summer to autumn.

Old boards met their fate.

Then, a couple nights later, Derek and his crazy eyes came out.

What to do on a Friday night? Project gNr videos on the shed and have a fire... sold!

Dave's favorite socks.

These stickers adorn an awesome classic wagon that is always parked at, you guessed it, the Bye and Bye.

Kyle and Lucy went and bonded themselves in matrimony.

It was so awesome that lasers were firing while they danced.

And flashes were popping like the papparazzi was there.

Verg rescued the BTEAM and is back in Portland. Look out.

"Rainbows make me lonely."

Last weekend began the countdown to Kyle's upcoming nuptials. To commemorate this occasion we drank beers, rode bikes around town, and of course went to Sassy's.
The evening kicked of at Ethan's house with BBQing and baked potatoes.

We got bikes.

A quick stop at the Bye and Bye.

Ethan hid a cooler at this location with beers for the crew.

Dan was in fine form. Here Jonah gives him a good punch in the gut.

Some rocks got thrown into the river.

I can't even begin to explain this or how funny it was.

Saturday walk with Diesel brought us upon some goats.

And the start of the leaf piles.

Double documenting.

We left the Beaverton park only to get rained on.

This is how a wet skatepark makes Steve feel.

Fall sunsets from the living room.
