(check lil' lamb floatin in the shallows) they we're actually going to try and swim in this beast! i was spooked to say the least. i took this picture, and jetted. another week goes by and i get the email-"put a hose in joe's or you blows". so i did. i got a 40ft gravity hose going down the bank behind the house and just let it go. drive by 4 days later, and there are the owners of the house cleaning up the yard (i heard they live in oregon.) drive by a week later, check out back, no hose but its 3/4's empty! a couple days later james goes over and pumps the rest down to a bucketable level.....
and we skated again.... until a nosey neighbor starts getting too interested in us, and our license plates and now its chained and posted....but, its just sitting there, behind a condemned house, with nothin but clean rain water in it.

then this happened...
NASHUA – Police cruisers, SWAT teams and armored cars disrupted a quiet night in downtown Nashua when police received an emergency call between 12:30 and 12:45 Monday morning about an armed home invasion on Morningside Drive.
In the 16 hours that followed, police placed one of the three suspects in custody and were searching for the two others.
According to police, Lorenzo Alson, 21, of 193 Albany Ave., Apt. 5C, in Brooklyn, N.Y., broke into the basement apartment at 2 Morningside Drive between 12:30 and 12:45 a.m. along with two other black males armed with a shotgun and two handguns. The report came from one of the house’s residents living upstairs.
Deputy Police Chief John Seusing said when police arrived on the scene minutes later, four victims were seen fleeing the house and were safely evacuated.
Before police could secure the perimeter around the house, one suspect fled on foot, according to Capt. Scott Howe. He said police gave chase, but the suspect was not caught and is still at large along with a second suspect.
The two at-large suspects are described as in their early to mid-20s with dark clothing, police said. One of the suspects may have a black shirt with the word “ice” on it and one could still be armed with a handgun, police said.
By 1 a.m. Monday, police had closed off the surrounding streets and called in the Special Response Team.
They said one to two hours later, the Special Response Team forced entry into the basement and evacuated four additional victims. Seusing said of the four, three were juveniles and one was a male adult, and they were all sleeping upstairs when the break-in happened.
He added that this was not a hostage situation and there were no reported injuries.
Over the course of the morning, police said they made multiple attempts to communicate with the other two suspects believed to be hiding in the basement apartment.
No communication was ever established, Seusing said, even after officers sent in a police robot equipped with a camera and a loudspeaker.
At about 9:20 a.m., two loud flash-bang explosions were heard. Seusing said they were used outside the house to notify the suspects of the heavy police presence outside.
Over the next hour, 21 softer blasts broke the silent air. Many residents mistook the sounds for gunshots, but Seusing said they were only “diversionary devices,” including some tear gas grenades that were thrown into the basement apartment.
By 11 a.m., Seusing announced that one of the suspects was caught during a search by the Special Response Team, and he was taken into custody.
Police found a shotgun in the house, and by 4 p.m., detectives were on the way to execute a search warrant. Seusing said they would be looking for any other weapons in the home, anything that indicates a connection between any of the residents of the house and the suspects and other evidence.
That’s also when police finished the second of two “slow, methodical searches” of the residence and came up empty-handed. He said it was possible that the third suspect fled shortly after the break-in but wasn’t spotted leaving the area. He said it is possible that the two at-large suspects are still armed.
While most of the officers left the area, police were using some Nashua Fire Rescue imaging equipment to make a last-ditch search of the house, Seusing said.
Residents from nearby houses on Taft and Clement streets began to emerge after the explosions.
Ted LaBombard, who lives at 2 Taft St., said he was just getting ready for bed when he heard police cruisers and armored cars start arriving outside. He said with all the commotion, he didn’t get to sleep until nearly 5 a.m.
“It’s disconcerting,” he said. “This is a quiet neighborhood. Most of us have known each other for years, but we haven’t had much contact with that house (on 2 Morningside Drive).”
Other passers-by heard an early report on the news and walked over to see what was happening.
Tammy Clegg, 34, and Leslie Nelson, 31, are longtime residents of Nashua and said they were on their way to the beach but saw the report on the news and had to stop and check it out.
“It’s crazy,” Nelson said. “You hear about this stuff all over but not in Nashua.”
Angela Rodgers said she’s lived in Nashua all her life and was observing the scene because her 4-year-old son was at the Rivier Preschool nearby.
“I drive through this road every other day,” she said, indicating Taft Street, which was blocked off to civilians by police tape. “It’s always been quiet. Something like this always happens somewhere else.”
The scene was a media frenzy by midday, as representatives of WMUR Channel 9, Fox 25 News Boston, New England Cable News and the New Hampshire Union Leader were in Nashua for the standoff.
“It appears that it was not random,” Seusing said.
Seusing said the apparent motive was to steal a safe inside the basement. Seusing said he did not know what was inside the safe and that police detectives may or may not pursue a warrant to find out its contents.
He said there are lots of “nooks and crannies,” storage areas, stairwells and other places to hide in the large basement apartment, possibly even behind the walls, in ceiling crawl spaces, a chimney and duct work. Police even used power tools to gain access to a few areas, which is why the searches took so long, Seusing said.
By 6:30 p.m., the loudest thing in the residential neighborhood were chirping birds. A few cruisers and the Nashua Police Department Crime Scene truck were parked in front of the brown, low-slung ranch style house.
The house is surrounded by thick lines of trees and bushes that block it from neighbors on both sides. Police tape blocked off both ends of the house’s U-shaped driveway, which has a broken basketball hoop. A silver Toyota Corolla was parked in the driveway.
The yard behind the house drops away from the road and there is a deck, a wooden shed and an in-ground pool. The house is surrounded by a wooden fence. A chain link fence surrounds the pool area.
On Monday evening, Nashua detectives wearing bright white suits or white booties and rubber gloves were analyzing the scene. One made a circuit outside the house and the back and side yards with a video camera.
Alson is charged with burglary and robbery, both Class A felonies each punishable by up to 15 years. He is being held on $100,000 cash bail pending arraignment this morning in Nashua District Court.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Nashua Police Department at 594-3500 or the Crime Line at 589-1665.

and there it was at the bottom....fucking brutal! we were so stoked.
all these photos were day one. up to this last one JONAH came up to help me muck the bottom. untold loads of wretched wet leaves and elephant shit. bring your boots.
summer shows
nas and damien marley at the house of blues was rightious (as you can imagine).
they've got a dread hype man in fingerless gloves that waves a huge rasta flag (switching hands of course) for the ENTIRE SHOW. solo nas (represent) solo damien (real good... he does bob stuff too.) them togetha... rrrrespect! yaknow?
black keys at BoA pavillion...i got the rubber factory the tuesday it came out (same day as tv on the radio...remember that? didn't think so.)soooo' i don't let the white baseball hats bother me. first time to the pavillion, that was an oversight, good open air, summer, harpoon in a can fun. (hammered beswick brothers not pictured here) big shout to lisa on the first 2 shows she got the tix, i probably woulda slept on it.
broken social scene and the sea and cake house of blues....real mellow real good. i've seen both bands a couple time and this was one of the best shows for both bands.
the sea and cake are great...check out "the fawn" for all your mellow postrock needs. sunday morning shit.
i'm a shock trooper in a stupor, yes i am....
i NEVER get sick of this. i can't belive jonny is such a conservative prick!("god bless george bush" at the r&r hall of fame!) he's the fuckin best. if this doesen't make you "hey daddy o, i WANNA go" to the basement....i don't know what ta tell ya.

pt 2: it hadn't been empty in 4 years....
ya neva know whats hiding beneath that dark water. the surface was a pebbled finish (see the old post "pebble beach" for an example). james informed me it was an aqua tech pool, popular in the 80's. a skateable finish but you don't wanna go down....
it's like a flesh removal system. "strike one" he joked.
the shape looked sick, corners, hips,...the extension!....and as the water went, up came the shallow end stairs each one wider than the last, eclipsing a good portion of the invisible lines we were seeing. "strike two" he joked.....

fat joe's: full disclosure -pt 1
so...jay mun (at his 30th birthday party) introduced me to a friend of his that had a pool in his back yard. it was a rented house with an inground. they wanted to empty it so they could, eventually, fill it again to swim in. the dude had never met me before and this was our first introduction so it was just like "alright cool, we'll talk about it". which meant i got the street name (from someone else) and crept around the neighborhood until i found it and took this night shot. this was the first week in may....things were lookin good
after texting this dude for like a week we had the tumbs up, we were in.
its times like these the secret weapon is the best guy to have in your corner. he's got the expertise....and the best pump.
