It’s been a while, and that’s because I’ve been roughed up this summer by the heat, the inescapable white pants-ed and moppy presence of the Jonas Brothers, general ceremonies (opening and closing), and by being able to watch both live and archived baseball games on mlb.tv. It’s like they knew exactly what kinda Kryptonite would take me down, and good homeslices, it has. Anyway, it’s time to get outta the house. We’re bringing both Centro-matic and South San Gabriel to the western realm here starting in just a few days, and we wanted to give a heads up on that:

Lastly I want to salute and congratulate our friends at Downstate Productions and all that were involved with the movie, Salt Creek County. The film won awards for Best Picture and Best Ensemble Cast at last week’s River’s Edge Film Festival in Kentucky. They are golden spartans of true inspiration and I am happy to know them.
Thank you, friends. See you at the rock show. – Will J
