9/3/2006 this year's labor day weekend seemed to involve a bit more labor than in years past. I mean between the VAN's SHOWDOWN DOWNTOWN, BEE NGUYEN's B-Day party, and THE HUNDREDS block party the SGV was spread thinly. listen to me complaining about partying... it's finally gotten to that point. check the photographic fruit of my partying labors.

on Saturday we headed to the Paramount Studio's backlot on Melrose to watch the Van's Downtown Showdown. many of the SGV's favorite pros were in attendance including Jeron Wilson and Dustin Dollin.

Dennis Busenitz killed the Hella Hyphy Flat Bank setup.

Casey helped out on the mic because the dudes from the S.P.O.T. were about to catch a bad one from Mike V.

pros for days.
Ed Templeton, Matt Bennett, Louie Barletta, Braydon Sza, Matt Ball, Mike Vallely.
