The Map Room was invaded on Saturday by Pour It Now’s latest fundraising monster, the Battle for ‘Crete. 8 bands over 6 hours kept the energy up for a multi-generational skatefest. Highlights included Motormouth Mabel’s irritating yet effective wierdness, girls with hula hoops rocking out to Hybrid Mutants, a slamming full Sabbath set by A Decent Animal, crowd favorite FLK getting the pit in motion, and a closer by White Boy Crazy that lived up to it’s name.
John Pundt made screenprints on the spot and sold them for a dirt cheap 5 bucks. Kevin Taylor’s nostalgic look at a centerpiece of 80s skating in Charleston, the municipal pool downtown, brought in the old-schoolers to swap Vans high top stories. Closing out the night was a screening of the sick video from Lakai called “Fully Flared”.
