A lot of good stuff happened during the break, including a visual overhaul of the site. But for the first post back I’ll show the three newest boards you can buy from the store. Just click on the images to go to their shop page:

Wouldn’t it be cool if you could make the pop gun motion with your hand and a flag came out? Yeah, I think it would be pretty cool.

Steve is adding something extra if you buy a board and send him a picture with it. More info here.

Well that’s it for now, but expect more updates on a regular basis.

I have been to St. Louis before and it is a really great city.  They have an area called the Central West End, which is basically there version of SoHo.  It has a ton of bars and restaurants, and the neighborhood is just great.  The best part of St. Louis is that it is home to Anheuser-Busch, so there is just alcohol sold everywhere.  Washington University is one of the few wet campuses in the country.  There is this amazing bar in the Central West End called Brennan’s.  Basically Brennan’s is an old speak easy that is now a bar/cigar bar.  But the coolest part is if you walk past the front desk down the basement steps, they actually have a hidden scotch bar, which is in the same space as the original.

Check out both.

So the seller tells me to try some stuff to get rid of the smell…no luck. So, finally he tells me to send them back which I do promptly. Upon recieving the shoes he tells me that they are not in the same condition I sent them in and now he has my money and the shoes and won’t give them back. It really eats me up cause it is just such a helpless feeling. There is a mutual trust you have between you and the seller, and now he has my money and his product back and I can do nothing but wait.

Its put me in a rut these past few days, makes you lose trust in people everytime someone takes advantage of you. Well I’ll keep my fingers crossed and see if they show up again.

In the talk section there is a thread we created that features 5 of the top boards over the last period.  We want you to post the number of your favorite out of those 5 boards.  If you love one so much (and want to support us!) post a $ sign next to the number.  Heck if you like one so much, you can even call dibs on a certain number if you want!
