October 2, 2009 - Whoa. I think it’s safe to say evo was PACKED Friday night for the opening of Wild Card’s “How The Northwest Was One” and a fully decorated TimesInfinity art gallery presented by Spacecraft. Excited event goers lined the block and industry insiders, stumbling fans and one haggard looking Spacecraft bunny packed in wall to wall to cheer on local riders the only way the Northwest does it, BIG.
This week evo will be the victim of artistic vandalism! The fine folks at Spacecraft started today on what will be a weeklong installation on the west side of evo’s Fremont location. The work is in celebration of this weekend’s Spacecraft Art Opening and the premier of Wild Card’s “How the Northwest was one” on October 2.
Right now the shop looks like a kindergarten arts and crafts session, but the mess will soon turn into a 20ft tall masterpiece of true Spacecraft style. Come by everyday to watch the progress, check out all the new Spacecraft apparel, and get covered with wheat paste!
The Nikita Photoshoot Contest is BACK but with a new tang and twist! It’s one of the most popular contests held, with girls the world over sending in their photos for a chance to be in the next location photoshoot for Nikita’s coveted streetwear collection.
This year Nikita offer another rare opportunity to two girls (Europe and USA) who want to join them in the photoshoot contest for the FW10/11 collection. The location of the shoot will be in the unique and multicultural city of New Orleans! What’s new is that Nikita are also offering an amazing opportunity to one girl with an interest in photography to get involved and shoot behind the scenes. The winner will be given cameras to snap away to their heart’s content, capturing aspects of the trip which are rarely seen. Their images will be featured and published in the most sought-after Nikita look book.
So now what do we call it??? Well I guess let’s just say the NIKITA Photoshoot & Photo Contest IS HERE! You have until the 12th October to send in your entries, so don’t dilly dally; get sending in your pictures!

On the 17th, Seattle Greendrinks together with Lazy River Winery (a personal favorite) and Theo Chocolates hosted a casual event in the evo art gallery, TimesInfinity, with the band Slow Skate providing music. Gabriel and Nur from Seattle Greendrinks pulled together a fantastic marriage of quality chocolate, wine, art, music and people. For all of you (i.e., all of us) with an interest in sustainability, climate change and renewable energy, Greendrinks (http://tinyurl.com/5jcxa6) is a great way to get your foot in the door and figure out what you can do to get involved.
The work of fine artist, Michael J. Zepeda III, is featured in the first of three Limited Artist Series DH 2 boards. The DH 2.1 captures his unparalleled signature style and elements that make it easy to see how he has become the noteworthy artist he is today. For more info, visit Ride Snowboard’s website.
To see the full artist series program and keep an eye on the countdown for the release of the DH 2.2 and DH 2.3 coming October 15th and November 15th visit Ride’s site.

The Skateboard Film Festival is a collaborative effort by some of the industry’s most respected entrepreneurs, filmmakers, photographers, and skateboarders. It was brought about to promote independent film making in the skateboard community at large. It is open to the entire public by way of video submissions, and there will be several categories by which each film maker can submit his or her video short or full-length movie. Videos are carefully selected by a panel of judges and some 40-60 will be shown during the film festival weekend.
In a nutshell, The Skateboard Film Festival’s seeks to celebrate skateboarding and skateboard filmmaking.
